Proton CEO Andy Yen projects a calm persona and rails against Big Tech and critiques AI. Internally, he is pushing engineers to build Proton with AI, even when they have security concerns.
This is fucked up. I had proton in good consideration, security wise. I even saw it as a good alternative to big tech (it doesn’t need to be perfect).
These last reports change everything, I cannot trust the quality of those products and on the advertised security strengths. “Fast and no eyes on code”, doesn’t inspire too much confidence. “No time for security testing”, defeats the whole advantage (unique selling point) of your company.
I guess Tuta is the alternative I will consider and promote, after knowing this.
My issue is not with the use of AI. Is with how the AI is used, the internal processes than ensure the quality of the product and that the focus of the provider continues to be on the matters why I first bought their product.
These exchanges in the article, blow every single point described above.

Tuta uses AI internally. Is why Yen was talking about them in the emails
