Oh c’mon. Enshittification this fast.
I don’t wanna move all that shit.
That’s not enshittification; enshittification is (to simplify) making a product worse to increase profitability.
In this case the CEO is conducting loyalty tests. It’s more of an HR issue. Groupthink.
Cramping AI into everything, including your “privacy” product, is enshittification.
It’s just not really in the same form as capturing market share and then paywalling your captive market to achieve rent seeking.
In this case you aren’t capturing rent you are capturing profiles, which in turn you will rent out to marketers.
Proton will betray everyone. I’m glad I stayed away.
That isn’t necessarily true. AI in and of itself isn’t shit. It’s the training data and the ethics of how that data was acquired that determines whether or not it is shit, and there are a ton of creators who’ve made local models trained only on their own data in order to make their work more efficient.
Most AI users aren’t ethical in that way, but I’d trust Proton before I’d trust a frontier AI developer, if for no other reason than the laws they’re forced to operate under favor privacy. The Swiss are great like that.
I guess I don’t see a good reason to trust either, and setting up a scenario where those are being compared like I must is a false dichotomy.
That’s okay.
You’re welcome to your opinion. Have a great day. :)
