    ...So it appears like there is some drama between Proton's ceo and software developers regarding how to use AI when developing the software. This reporting does not show the CEO favorably but might not be the entire story.

    "404 Medias Joseph Cox joins the show to discuss his reporting on Protons aggressive AI push, including employee re-interviews about AI use and a CEO who called pen-testing concerns loser thinking.""

    ...starting at about 13:45 min and lasting 12 minutes.

    Frankly it appears the CEO has major personality problems and feels the only way he can motivate people is through fear. It's a great way to destroy a company.

    From past experience, that type of management usually means the company is already in danger.
