We had a social contract!
"exact percentage"
just fuck right off. wasting my fucken time.
she wrote harry potter with an llm, didn't she?
You are quite dumb.
you're conflating "detecting ai text" with "detecting an ai trained on copyrighted material"
send the relevant article or shut up
if you're not gonna read the fucken thing then fuck off.
was this incorrect? https://www.patronus.ai/blog/introducing-copyright-catcher
the thing about this is a "writing assistant" doesn't have to be integrated into the email product. It could be a product in itself. If the "business audience(?) was the most interested in a writing assistant" you've got a fucken great standalone product opportunity on your hands. A Proton-certified LLM writing assistant that is magically better and more secure than anything else out there is not something you coyly slip into the email client and nudge everyone to use.
It doesn't matter what reasons they have for doing this. Their method of deployment says more than enough to me. They know it's off-script and they know they want their fucken "audience" to do the marketing for them.
the usefulness of any feature should be measured in how deep you can bury its "opt-in" option in the settings pages without hurting its adoption
it all stinks so much. He calls it "opt-in" but the official description of that opt-in is:
If you try to use Proton Scribe, you will be prompted to chose between local and server-side. So, technically, it's not active until you decide how, and if, you want to use it.
as you can see here: https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/112807462045101580
there is opt-in and then there is dangling an expired hotdog
not sure how legit that account is, actually. It's not the one I @'ed - this one was created in Jan 2024 - either it's his low-key alt or a bot
perhaps his plausible deniability account.

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.

Thanks, Frank!
You put on your big kid pants and think about what you’re going to write before you write it.
Killer line. THIS is what DESIGN is. The lost art of knowing what you want to do and deliberating over how to do it. The tech industry reversed it and now everyone is figma-ing about like children lost in the forest.
Write it! The time is right
jumping off a roof with an umbrella for a parachute feels tractable
We should neoligise "NASB" for our community as shorthand for "Not a sneer, but"
This isn't a sneer, just want to share this enjoyable presentation about tech and nihilism by Assoc Professor Nolen Gertz at the University of Twente here in the Netherlands https://iai.tv/video/nihilism-and-the-meaning-of-life-nolen-gertz
