It’s really funny to train your AI on the data of failed companies. My coworker made a similar joke that if we trained an AI on our data they’d think our core business is helping dumbass users reset their passwords or fixing linting errors.

I thought it was against Slack's ToS to exfiltrate data like this?
Also surely most of a startup's Slack activity is just fluff - is there some amount of preprocessing the AI companies have to do, I wonder.

I was asked by someone today if there are such startups with COBOL based code bases...
