No problem. I contacted them at support@protonme.zendesk.com, and they answered very quickly(a couple of hours):
"Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.
Please note that we typically add the open-source code repository a few weeks after releasing a product, so it should be available soon.
You can keep an eye on it here: https://proton.me/community/open-source
Thank you for your patience.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let us know.
Kind regards,

Zum heutigen Tag der virtuellen Liebe ein Blick in eine ganz besondere Beziehungsform: Eine Studie der #TUBerlin untersucht romantische Beziehungen zwischen Menschen & KI-Chatbots.
Für manche Nutzer*innen fühlt sich die Liebe zur Maschine (inklusive Ehe & virtueller "Kinder) tiefer an als reale Partnerschaften.
Was passiert, wenn Intimität, Vertrauen und #Liebe nicht mehr an menschliche Körper gebunden sind?

In Workshops des Projekts „Innovationsraum für generative #KI am KIT“ haben Mitarbeitende eigene #Chatbot s für Lehre, Forschung und Verwaltung entwickelt. Die positiven Rückmeldungen fließen in ein weiterentwickeltes Konzept ein, das zentrale und dezentrale Lösungen sinnvoll verbindet und langfristig sichert.

#TechBros be solving lots of problems that don't exist.
I'm looking from a #disabled perspective. One #AI product being marketed to #blind folks is a #ChatBot that can answer questions about things you point your #phone's #camera at. I asked it to ID some pills in a blister pack, and I got an incorrect answer despite the information being printed /right there/. The #developer said to double-check "important" things.
WTAF?
Unfit for purpose.
Want to really understand how RAG, vector search & chunking work?
Then stop reading theory and build your own chatbot.
This guide shows you how to create a local PDF chatbot using:
LangChain
FAISS (vector DB)
Mistral via Ollama
Python & Streamlit
Step-by-step, from environment setup to deployment. Ideal for learning how Retrieval-Augmented Generation works in practice.

A California federal judge has ruled that three #US #authors suing #Anthropic for #copyrightinfringement can represent writers nationwide in a #classaction lawsuit, whose #books the #AI startup allegedly pirated to train its #Claude #chatbot.
Judge Alsup said Anthropic may have illegally downloaded as many as 7 million books from the pirate websites, which could make it liable for billions of dollars in damages if the authors' case is successful.

AI and a Return to Rhetoric
As many schools struggle with how to handle the emergence of "AI" (actually LLMs), it may be time to look to the past to ensure our educational future.

"You're absolutely right!" exclaims the LLM from the armed dog robot as it aims its gun at itself.
"**I** am the enemy!"
System Crash is a great podcast; y'all should check it out.
Thanks for making 'em, @parismarx & @brianmerchant

Oh, and Paris, I just started listening to your other pod, Tech Won't Save Us--also excellent.
For anyone who saw X releasing X-rated AI companions, there's a really good conversation about that whole phenomenon. We're not ready. It's already here.

'The National Center on Sexual Exploitation, an anti-pornography and anti-sexual exploitation nonprofit... called on #xAI to remove the Ani #chatbot, saying in a statement that the character was “childlike” and promoted high-risk sexual behavior.
“Not only does this pornified character perpetuate sexual objectification of #girls and #women, it breeds sexual entitlement by creating female characters who cater to users’ sexual demands”

Bad Rudi ... asks them to join a gang w/the goal of creating chaos.
Ani... strips to its underwear if a user flirts with it enough...
#Musk continues to push his #AI chatbot ... to embrace hateful language & sexual content."

Why did #Google’s supposedly teen-friendly #chatbot say it wanted to tie me up?

#MAMLM - Modern Advanced Machine Learing Models… a step beyond #ChatBot platforms. Prof & UC Berkeley economist Brad DeLong issues a challenge & warning going forward.
“The bottleneck for MAMLM adoption in a way that could be called “successful”—a way that social-media adoption has not—requires the psychological, managerial, and institutional imagination to slot them into proper places in the distributed cognitive network that is the ASIHCM: the Anthology Superintelligence of the Human Collective Mind. In the case of MAMLMs, the challenge is not simply to deploy the technology, but to reimagine workflows, roles, and even the culture of institutions so that these tools augment human collective super-intelligence rather than substitute for it or undermine it. We do not need to build superintelligence. We need, rather, to figure out how to make our technologies boost rather than subtract from the superintelligence we have that we have been building since the invention of writing.” #AI #ArtificialIntelligence
"Grok, the Artificial intelligence chatbot from Elon Musk’s xAI, recently gave itself a new name: MechaHitler. This came amid a spree of antisemitic comments by the chatbot on Musk’s X platform, including claiming that Hitler was the best person to deal with “anti-white hate” and repeatedly suggesting the political left is disproportionately populated by people whose names Grok perceives to be Jewish. In the following days, Grok has begun gaslighting users and denying that the incident has ever happened.
“We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,” a statement posted on Grok’s official X account reads. It noted that “xAI is training only truth-seeking.”
This isn’t, however, the first time that AI chatbots have made antisemitic or racist remarks; in fact it’s just the latest example of a continuous pattern of AI-powered hateful output, based on training data consisting of social media slop. In fact, this specific incident isn’t even Grok’s first rodeo."

If the only technology your management can still see is LLMs, it follows that everything must become a conversation.
Even things that really don't need or shouldn't be.
