The depiction isn't so rosy for people against the use of AI. Yes, entry level jobs are reopening, but they're looking for people with AI skills, that show initiative and comfort with it.
With a fine of ~$27 million, I think they'll just pretend to be working on it, get the "good guys, complying with legislation and opening up the platform", not do it (or at least, not in any satisfactory way), and pay the fine, if it gets applied.
Love how it highlights that big tech (much to capitalism's fault, TBH) can only drive innovation if the tech has a moat around it, if no one else can, or would, copy it and deploy it at a lower cost.
Which is... the argument that people use to defend capitalism? That capitalism drives innovation and makes it accessible to everyone at the lowest possible price.
I like the frugal tech idea as much as I like degrowth.
Strictly speaking, if you consider Lumo's GPU servers to be one of the "ends", then yeah, it is E2EE (you and the server being the ends).
But Proton own the GPU servers, and therefore have access to their private keys, so they can decrypt your messages as they arrive, before they're deleted, which happens after they're encrypted with your asymetric key (so only you can read it) and stored with zero-access.
I don't consider this safe. In a system where you are only interfacing with a computer (and not other users), E2EE should mean that only you have access to the unencrypted data, at any given time. Which is how Proton Drive works.
Stated can be a long way away from reality. That website statement can be changed at a whim and doesn't have any legal binding.
If you wanna rely on encryption to protect your privacy, you have to be encrypted/protected from the service provider too, that's what E2EE is all about, and what many of Proton's services provide, but Lumo not.
Andreas Kling's ladybird? Don't wanna touch that with a 10ft pole.
