Tl;dr and what I unsubscribed over specifically: Proton CEO, Andy Yen, is fully engulfed by AI psychosis, obsessed with adding features and expanding Proton, unchecked by the governing board of directors, and calling his own engineers “losers” for suggesting testing AI-written code before shipping. Basically the same shit every other tech CEO was pulling a year ago before they realized there was no ROI or quality increse.

Unlike other controversies (praising Trump appointments and cooperating with the FBI to unmask leftist protesters), I finally unsubbed bevause the product itself, and therefore my privacy, is being fundementally changed and at risk

This will surely help Elon sell electric cars

Sure. More recently it’s been anything whose marketing is all or partially AI slop. Instant red flag. Person below mentioned emojis, ditto on that. Pretty much anything that looks too “slick” to me. If the name is something like “Leaf” it’s probably shit. If it looks like it was made by a team of 30 marketing graduates, it’s probably shit. If it’s called “UltimateRePak2K” and looks like an industrial tool that hasn’t had a graphics update since Windows 7, it’s probably an unbreakable great bit of software.

When I was a young man, I became deeply fascinated with black holes. I’d lie in my bed at night and try to imagine what it would feel like to enter one.
