Is there something in technology that just fucks with people's brains? It seems like Proton started out alright, but it got into Andy's head and now... he praises Trump and goes full-AI as a privacy company? What the fuck?
It's the money, they start making too much and all of a sudden they don't have enough.
I'm not entirely sold on this idea. I think they are corrupted to begin with and seek power and money for that reason. The people who seek power are the ones that should never hold it.
Money
and power that having money bring (you do not need to even spend it)
Money is power
Dragon sickness from all their wealth.
Maybe we do need a Rich Flu
Honestly at least some of it does feel like LLMs are part of it. I know my management used to be really cautious about introducing breaking changes or changing anything that could affect customers, now that AI is here it's full steam ahead lets fuck everything as fast as possible. It's very strange how quickly it's happened.
It's not technology. Being a dumbshit parasite is just a requirement of being CEO. They all just keep the mask on in the beginning for a while until it slips eventually.
Not tech. Business/finance bros. Even the 'tech' bros that everyone complains about are 90% of the time MBAs or "entrepreneurs".
The people who actually care about technology want these fuckos destitute probably more than most if they don't also have aspirations of being a founding executive of some shit.
Dark triad assholes rise to the top
Explain how building AI products is fundamentally incompatible with privacy?
Explain how AI was trained please.
Not on the data of proton users. It could be trained on the personal data of all google customers for all I care, Lumo is as private and privacy friendly as AI gets https://proton.me/blog/lumo-security-model
LMAO. So you never sent an email to a service using google or microsoft? You've never communicated with somebody that has an email client that summarises their messages for them? You think that AI is only trained on Google customers. Your brain must be gigantic!
That does not affect the use of Lumo, and not a dime goes to those that trained it - they're open models
