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.
Is there something in technology that just fucks with people’s brains? It seems like Proton started out alright, but it got into Andy’s head and now… he praises Trump and goes full-AI as a privacy company? What the fuck?
It’s not technology. Being a dumbshit parasite is just a requirement of being CEO. They all just keep the mask on in the beginning for a while until it slips eventually.
It’s the money, they start making too much and all of a sudden they don’t have enough.
I’m not entirely sold on this idea. I think they are corrupted to begin with and seek power and money for that reason. The people who seek power are the ones that should never hold it.
Dragon sickness from all their wealth.
Maybe we do need a Rich Flu
Money
and power that having money bring (you do not need to even spend it)
Money is power
Not tech. Business/finance bros. Even the ‘tech’ bros that everyone complains about are 90% of the time MBAs or “entrepreneurs”.
The people who actually care about technology want these fuckos destitute probably more than most if they don’t also have aspirations of being a founding executive of some shit.
Honestly at least some of it does feel like LLMs are part of it. I know my management used to be really cautious about introducing breaking changes or changing anything that could affect customers, now that AI is here it’s full steam ahead lets fuck everything as fast as possible. It’s very strange how quickly it’s happened.
Dark triad assholes rise to the top
Reminds me of how Lemmy.world handled Rooki’s misconduct. They made a statement and even admitted some wrongdoing but kept Rooki as a moderator. If I were working at Proton, none of that would make Yen less toxic and more tolerable.
are you talking about jordanlund or is this a broader pattern of concerning behavior out of .world
This case of admin power abuse by Rooki.
yeah that makes it a pattern of concerning behavior out of admins at .world
are people still recommending that instance as the common entry point?
