#Proton CEO Andy canceled the #AI re-interviews for employees after getting exposed, gave employees a non-apology that was basically “I’m sorry you didn’t understand what I said,” and made zero commitments to change his behavior or his foolish AI push.

Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’

The move came after 404 Media published an investigation into how Proton CEO Andy Yen was aggressively pushing AI across Proton despite security concerns and the culture of fear he has created.
I am not going to use Proton products again, until Yen is sacked... and even then, maybe not, I have lost all trust in Proton.
