#Proton #ProtonMail #Privacy #AI #WorkplaceAbuse

As I am sure many have already seen, this 404 Media article caused quite a stir a few days ago. Even putting aside the ethics of focusing on AI use over security and pentesting (which is already a horrendous idea for a supposedly security-focused company), the verbal abuse allegations alone should be a turn-off for anyone who cares about even a neutral workplace (let alone a good workplace). Having a CEO who berates employees asking for more security testing should be a red line for anyone who cares about the privacy and security of their data. And, with Proton, that is likely most of their customer base (we moved away from Google largely for privacy reasons, after all).

I have strong feelings about “AI”, and I don't think that's much a of a secret. Every time it's brought up, though, it almost always seems to come back to the same thing: “Have you tried the latest models? They're amazing!” or “How can you evaluate how good these are if you never use them?”. So let's address that.
