English text is being prepared.
Proton, known for its privacy services, is going all out to push engineers to adopt AI. CEO Andy Yen reprimanded employees who raised security concerns in an internal Slack channel, calling it a loser's mentality. Proton also planned to re-interview employees and require them to explain how they use AI; employees who do not use AI sufficiently may face dismissal, and the re-interviews were canceled after public backlash. Proton's published AI manifesto states that engineers' task is no longer to write code, but to help LLMs write code faster and better.
