Yen also mentioned “org changes,” and said that part of this is “redistributing talent across teams.” He said that the reorganization will happen next month, “but there will be no loss of jobs from AI.”

TL; DR Nothing has really changed, we're just going to be more discreet to avoid further backlash, also layoffs are coming, don't worry, we won't say it's because of AI.

This is why you don't bargain with terrorist tech bros. Andy and his cronies need to go.

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
