If an organization runs a survey in 2024 on whether it should get into AI, then they’ve already bodged an LLM into the system and they’re seeing if they can get away with it. Proton Mail is a priva…
we appear to be the first to write up the outrage coherently too. much thanks to the illustrious @self
Honestly I have to recommend against using Proton!
I've been unable to access some of my calendars lately, which are essential for my work. It doesn't even display an error - I've just noticed that events are missing. If it was down for a few hours that'd be acceptable, but this isn't.
I've also had numerous issues with their email, the worst being that it has pretended to send emails that it hasn't, the consequences of which I had to bear. Again no error message.
And I keep hearing about them adding new features I don't need. How about spending some of that money on proper QA?
Save yourself the headache and find another provider and consider carrying a paper agenda instead. I'd also recommend using different companies for different services, as any issues will only apply to one service. It's best to have your own domain for your email so it doesn't depend on anyone.
Apparently I am free next week:
Edit: I should add that it does work in the browser and they got back to me quickly, and I am in a foul mood today. Make of that what you will.
With Skiff going down at the end of the month and Proton gearing up to start data mining, there are very limited options for private email hosting. Basically Tuta and a few others now.
I'm in the process of degoogling and dewindowing. I'll be dammed if I'm going towards ANYthing even related to"artificial intelligence" if I can help it.
We built this as an opt-in alternative to the non-privacy centric options on the market.
Our goal is always privacy by default, we want to make that possible in the GenAI world too given the number of businesses already using it, and the privacy risks other options pose.
"Pro privacy" company that cucked to the state to get a climate activist arrested (against their privacy policy that they sneakily change after the fact) are actually a bunch of typical corporate grifters that sell out their userbase to promote shitty llm garbage? Nawwwwwww. Say it ain't so! It's like every week or month after I argue about these shitty fake privacy companies with idiots in c/privacy I recieve massive vindication. Maybe this is my sign to become a man of faith.
I went to Proton for the explicit reason I didn't want Google scanning all my docs. Glad I moved away from them now, hopefully Fastmail doesn't do the same.
Why is that an issue? I deploy local LLMs for work and none of the content they use or generate goes outside the encrypted active domain, so no security issues or privacy issues. The question is how contained the LLM is, that's all.
Mistral isn't trained on copy righted data. It's based off selective databases that were open use. This article in general is full of false information. But I suppose most people only read the headlines.
