I love the idea. It's bold. But, I hate it from an information architecture perspective.
This is something that is, of course, super relevant given context management for agentic AI. So there's great appeal in doing this.
And today, it might even be the best decision. But this really feels like an alpha version of something that will have much better tooling in the near-future. JSON and
Markdown are beautiful simple information containers, but they aren't friendly for humans as compared with something like Notion or Excel. Again I'll say, I'm confident that in the near-future we'll start to see solutions emerge that structure documentation that is friendly to both AIs and humans.
Like a compiler, we could optimize this by doing no work at all! Once you realize no one will look at any of the results, final or intermediate, there's nothing left to do.
I agree it's mostly only used in conjunction with bullshit, but during a hype bubble a lot of the users of that phrase don't fully realize they're spouting bullshit, and it's used in earnest.
It’s still wild because it’s mostly useless. Rewriting a few core components might improve security a bit, but otherwise it’ll not change anything for end users. This is the typical attractive but useless project for bored programmer with no product or business vision.
Unfortunately, at the moment, for normal people, the legal system is our only option.
I am not a lawyer, but I have done this multiple times:
Read the T&C and search for "dispute" or "dispute resolution". Look for what you're supposed to do when you have a dispute. Follow the steps as outlined. Corporate lawyers generally take things seriously.
Sorry, you specifically mentioned "these dumps". I don't know about "those" dumps. Mattermost and Element can import everything from Slack, but it might require following their instructions.
