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.

Worthless maneouver at this point, the mask is off already. The guy has exposed his extreme toxicity, nobody (employees or customers) will trust him again.

Which is embarrassing. When you're the CEO of the upstart, you have to have as spotless of an image as possible. He clearly isn't cut out for the job. Not that it matters anymore, Proton may very well be toast at this point.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
