y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

My husband was surprised that I think Mamdani is cute ("he's just a guy!" "I think guys are cute!"), but underestimate charm and a good smile at your peril!

My punishment for still having Facebook (for my Buy Nothing group!) is it suggesting I write "Here's to another incredible year of life!" for the birthday of a college friend who died two years ago.

Will not be seeing Hayley Williams on my birthday, but I will be seeing her the day after! And this sets me up to go to the Giants/Dodgers on my actual birthday (though of course I'm tempting fate with misery on that one)

Gen Z’s propensity for FaceTiming in public without headphones must be stopped. You are in line at the pharmacy! We can’t be doing this!

I had jury duty with four days of jury selection and was two seats away from being an alternate, but the most important thing that happened is my group of jury duty friends took a young French man to the Cheesecake Factory for the first time.

Also every millennial should know that William Daniels (Mr. Feeny) has a long and storied career that I’m sure makes older people groan to hear us reduce him to Boy Meets World
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

Oh also had a very harrowing drive home from Orange County where the (presumably) drunkest driver I’ve ever seen in real life weaved between lanes and even hit the median wall but still kept going and weaving and everyone did their best to stay behind that car until it was safe to pass.
