Technology@beehaw.org•Why aren't non-selfhosed AI models/apps private?English
21·4 days agoThat’s the only way I can imagine it working.
People frequently confuse privacy with anonymity. Proton never claims you can’t be identified. Only that your communications are as private a possible. Though they provide tools for you to ensure your anonymity if that’s important to you.

11·4 days agoWhen you say MAGA guy, do you mean that one time he said a single little policy of Rumps, might possibly not be terrible for everyone? Does that make him MAGA?
Am I MAGA for not hating the Space Force, because it gave us 2 seasons of a fun comedy show?

3·4 days agoYes. All that’s true when using a 3rd party AI engine.
That’s why Proton is running their own, in house. The AI still needs plain text. But they can ensure everything is isolated and private.

51·4 days agoOf course they have to keep some basic account data. And I think the last IP you logged in from. Also email data outside the BODY can’t be encrypted. That’s just how email works. So law enforcement can get all of that if they convince a Swiss court to order Proton.
But no they don’t keep or turn over anything that isn’t technically required for the service to work. I don’t know what you’d expect.

When you can expense a 2+ hour lunch with your friends as “working”, he’s right.

21·4 days agoYou’re not saying “I don’t know”. If you assume they’re lying, you’re also making a claim. One you can’t back up in this case.
And another place your confused, Proton isn’t a typical corporate structure. It’s owned by a non-profit, almost charity, effectively. One who’s board of trustees is entirely scientists and engineers. Assuming they’ll operate the same way a publicly traded corporation would is a big category error.

Again, do you have any links with evidence to the contrary?

Can you give me to a link to your source they’re lying about it?

75·5 days agoNot the real world. Just your imagination.
Corporations lie for profit. Where’s the profit for Proton in keeping peoples AI queries, when they’ve been proven to not keep any other data? Literally they have nothing to gain, and everything to loose.
Skepticism and pessimism aren’t the same thing. And baseless pessimism is just jaded. Jaded is the dark equivalent of naivety. They’re both equally simplistic ignorance.

43·5 days agoMost modern legal systems today presume innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
Proton is structured entirely unlike any other tech company. It would be against their own self interests to lie about their privacy claims. Their entire reputation is built on it. Any leak would destroy them.

114·5 days agoThere is no real technical reason. They could be. It’s just a matter of encryption while in transit and no logs. Proton does it.
The real reason most aren’t, is that there’s not much incentive to make them private. The data has potential value, so why not hold on to it.

2·5 days agoThat’s asking which one someone likes more, not which they think is AI. It’s a subtle but important distinction. For me it was a tossup. I picked the AI 3 to 2.
In reality all the passages felt like over-written attempts to say something simple, as poetical as possible. I’ve never really liked that style of writing. I try to be much more direct.
But generally, yah. That’s what I mean. You need that kind of test to know if you can tell something is AI or not.
