This person has been on Reddit for two years, and Reddit hasn’t taken them down. If you feel they are a Nazi or violating laws or rules, report them to Reddit. Otherwise what you are now asking the Mods to do is be the Reddit police. That won’t happen.

If users, no matter what their Reddit profile, repeatedly break rules of this Sub, they will be banned. If they don’t, they won’t.

What users post outside of this sub is not our concern.

holy fuck, there’s so much wrong

the org structures that brought you Teams Doing Standup Poker

which must be destroyed. find me who’s responsible for this (it’s the Google OKR people, isn’t it?)

DefendingAIArt is a subreddit run by mod “Trippy-Worlds,” who also runs the debate sister subreddit AIWars. Some poking around made clear that AIWars is perfectly fine with having overt Nazis around, for example a guy with heil hitler in his name who accuses others of lying because they are “spiritually jewish.”. So we’re off to a great start.

loves generative AI, encourages debate, fine with having nazis around the place. it’s like someone saw our instance and wanted to make the exact opposite of it, and the predictable disaster that resulted from that decision only really succeeds at making the AI fans look even worse

what do you mean you don’t want a search engine but much less efficient and much, much worse? you don’t like progress?

edit: lol i was open to learning but nvm i guess

and this is where your bullshit became bannable

i don’t understand, what’s stopping you from just not stepping in the broken glass I left on the floor? am i missing something?

yep! and the important thing to understand about proton is, the end to end encryption (where one end is the sender of a message and the other is the receiver — Proton never handles plaintext at all, beyond a tiny and clearly called out amount of metadata stored as plaintext on their servers for stuff like Calendars) is the whole point of the thing, there’s no reason to use Proton without it. with this LLM garbage, Proton’s threat model has shifted such that you can’t trust that the other end’s plaintext didn’t get transmitted to Proton’s servers (there’s no way for you, the receiver, to tell that the sender didn’t use the cloud LLM features), which makes Proton a lot less useful for some of the most vulnerable people who use it, such as activists and journalists who might be under legal threat. this plaintext leak allows some of the messages you’ve received to be subpoenaed, and it’s very easy for that to be used in a criminal case against you.

also, Proton’s published security model for their LLM feature (which is ultra-thin and resembles a PR puff piece more than any other model they published before this) states that their no-log policy is what makes the cloud version of the LLM secure, but their no-log policy has gigantic holes in it, and Proton’s response to these concerns is utterly unbefitting of a privacy/security software company

so I’ve accidentally been paying shitheads who speculate on crypto to speculate on crypto. I’m kinda angry at myself for not catching this.

so what rhymes with Proton getting into AI grifting? you fucking guessed it

this comment really should be reposted every time the LLM fans start doing their “who cares, it’s all clean energy” bit

that’s exactly why it’s the point of no return for me — I can’t trust a company that does this, and I’ll actively advocate against using them

maybe privacy and security are just too precious to trust to something as malicious as a corporation, and I say that knowing Proton just re-incorporated as something that can be called a non-profit but shouldn’t

fucking wow. so that kinda confirms that:

• that’s Eamon’s alt account he’s using because he’s a fucking coward
• proton fucking sucks and is doing their best to squash this in exactly the way a privacy/security company shouldn’t
