Just one day after 404’s piece on Proton CEO Andy Yen’s AI psychosis, and much public sneering of the matter… those pending ‘re-interviews’ on staff’s submission to slop apparently won’t be happening. But Yen is still an all-in slopbro, so.

The interviews are still happening, they’ve just been delayed as public damage control, it’s in the article.

I’ll give you partial credit… I was curious, since cancelled and delayed would be pretty distinct, this is what I saw in the article…

Another employee said, after Proton canceled the re-interviews, “They said in the next breath they want to continue pushing AI and that the things that were to be measured in the re-interviews would become a component of the performance reviews.”

So still cancelled, but proton is pushing chat box use pretty hard.
