Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’
www.404media.co
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.

Just one day after 404’s piece on Proton CEO Andy Yen’s AI psychosis, and much public sneering of the matter… those pending ‘re-interviews’ on staff’s submission to slop apparently won’t be happening. But Yen is still an all-in slopbro, so.

    Meanwhile, over on reddit, Proton has launched a bot-assisted astroturfing campaign to refute the spreading narrative. It takes the form of a missive from a “staff engineer” who’s shocked and angry at how much his dear CEO has been clipped out of context.

    In the first 10 minutes after the post went live, it had dozens of comments from posters saying things like, “Wow! Thank you for the truth!”

    Five hours later the post’s upvote counter is over 3k.

    Totally fake PR damage control.

      Reddit is one big psyop. I fear that as Lemmy’s profile grows, the same thing will happen here. Seems to me the only way to fight it is to protest IRL.
