    They screwed up, admitted it, apologized, don’t see why people are calling for blood anymore. People are allowed to make mistakes, they owned it and they cut ties with the guy.

      They keep making right wing mistakes though. I think that points to something.

          Lots of other companies seem to easily avoid voicing support for fascists both directly with their own words or via sponsorship money. Weird how Proton can’t seem to figure it out. If they can’t even get the little stuff right why would I trust them with my data?

            why would I trust them with my data

            because proton is highly regarded among privacy experts.

            and i’m guessing most privacy experts dgaf about politics like most technology experts don’t.

        Bold claim, corroborated with no proof.

        Sure it looks like AI speech patterns, but they are trained on corporate speech, so hard to differentiate an LLM from a corporate spokesperson.

          How tf did I get downvoted for saying it sounds like AI bullshit? Who are these people who actually object to my assessment? I feel like I’m living in the upside down

            Because people will call anything AI slop now, without any evidence. This doesn’t look AI generated to me. This is the same as something we’d have seen a decade ago. There’s even a weird space at the start of a paragraph, which makes me think human, not AI.

            Why do you think this is AI? What indications are there for that, other than the corpo-speak, which has been normal for a long time before AI even, hence the name.

            Do you actually think it’s okay that they had a bot make a press release this hamfisted?

            You are not “saying it sounds like it is written by AI”, you are affirming it is written by an AI. Big difference.
            You affirmation being formated as a question doesn’t change anything, it is a Loaded Question, which tends to be frowned upon.

              Babe I have two eyes, two ears, and a heart that yearns for honesty and knowledge. I know people can sound robotic too, and there are corporate scripts, and autism is a factor, but good lord. If there was an alien wearing human-esque skin suit standing in front of you I don’t think you’d be able to tell it from an actual person and that’s just sad.

                Depending on the definition of “a person”, an alien could be one. What would be your definition of a person ?

                I just pointing out your earlier answer is a loaded question, by definition.

                  Sure they could be a person. I think dolphins and elephants are people too. You are arguing in bad faith. You can’t tell if a human or AI wrote a press statement and that makes me sad.

                    To be arguing in bad faith would require me to have made an argument, which I did not.
                    Other than pointing out the lack of proof of your (badly) hidden argument, I never pretended it to be either LLM speech or human corpo speech. Because there are no proof of either being objectively more likely than the other.

                    But you did, using a loaded question, which is written in such way to deny the possibility for it to be human corpo speech, which existed way earlier than LLMs.

                    You asked why you were getting downvoted, I anwered with the definition of why. With a link to the definition for you to read so you may improve your “question”.
