> “Now we are left with two shitty choices. Deprioritize more important tasks for the business to re-encrypt old emails, or constantly get attacked online for not doing it. So maybe you can enlighten me on which of the two shitty choices we will take,” he wrote. “In the future there are two options. Either you guys are confident enough to not fuck this up, or you get my advice to make sure it is not fucked up,” he added. He then told a member of the team that made it to “go on Reddit.” > > “So go on there with your personal account and comment to set the record straight,” he wrote. “Perception is more important than truth, the truth doesn’t matter if you don’t win on perception.” yeah, just go on Reddit with a non-company account and lie. ezpz it’s fucking hilarious that all of this is about post-quantum encryption, a thing I care about not at all compared with, say, the company’s stance on fucking security

here’s a bit of their stance on security by the way! > In the “bullshit and loser thinking” conversation, another employee pushed Yen for specifics on ensuring that AI-generated code was free of security issues. “AI won’t magically solve our problems, because security is low in our prioritization at present,” the engineer said. Yen didn’t respond directly, and went on to insult one of the other employees in front of the entire channel. The employee “is saying his usual bs of we can do it but we will be even slower than we are today and I’m saying only losers think like that,” Yen wrote, adding that workers should prompt “better.” > “People were surprised and somewhat cringed out, since the document clearly exaggerates what you can do with LLMs today and doesn't address any of the problems you get in return for giving up your code base to the AI Jesus (e.g. AI cannot really maintain a large code base over time).” Another called it “ethically bankrupt.”
