The recent revelations about Proton leadership's mismanagement and forced AI adoption are damning. If management is not replaced or fixed, I plan to end end my Proton subscription and will no longer recommend its products.
From 404 Media's article: "Ninety percent of code at Proton in October was written by AI, the company’s CTO Bart Butler said in a meeting, according to audio 404 Media obtained." I pay Proton for privacy-focused products built by smart engineers. If I wanted software created by genAI and bolted together at the seams, I would go to literally any big tech company. I will be saddened, but not surprised by Proton's fall from grace and eventual bankruptcy if it continues in this direction.
It seems very clear that a vocal number of subscribers are against this blind adoption of AI and the horrendous treatment of staff. I for one, simply cannot support a company whose leadership treats employees like cattle to be prodded and punished until they fall in line.
If Proton wishes to survive, leadership must change course or be replaced. That is a simple fact at this point.
