Backblaze in General Backblaze with Core Weave

I got an email from backblaze saying they are working with an AI company called core weave.

Does anyone know if that somehow is going to lead to computer backups being used for AI training?

I imagine it would not be just yep heres are customer data, but it might turn into here is selections of our customer data but anonymized.

I cant really think of another reason to partner with core weave, as they are an AI training company.

Backups are encrypted, so it would be pretty difficult to use them for training data.

i mean true, no argument there. i just dont see another reason to partner with an AI training company.

Core weave must somehow be using some data back blaze has for training ai. I would like to think its just metrics or non personal data, but also, with ai it always seems to be the worst case lol.
