    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.

      maybe they can use this dataset to advise companies on what NOT to do

      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.

        How is the ToS relevant when the company is already bankrupt (IANAL)? Slack can cancel the customer-relationship with the bankrupt company, but that's it, no?

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

            Startups and COBOL shouldn't be in the same sentence lol.

            I can't believe what I just read! ... if only material waste (plastic garbage etc.) was this recyclable we'd be a bit more like nature: self balancing and efficient
