I do want Google computers to read my email and skim out the obvious spam; I didn't need Google computers reading my email to spam me with Google's own redundant and/or out-of-date alerts about package deliveries on top of the emails that already told me that information
Seems like that Gmail thing isn't true but maybe there's a lesson here about what happens when you keep turning new features on by default and you make it difficult or impossible to turn them off, and also what happens when you lump useful machine learning in with forced slop under the "AI" label

Just watched an excellent Zack Polanski interview ( leader of the UK Green Party) by Owen Jones. Highly recommended. Polanski gives me hope that we can turn this country around and have a better future than what we're facing right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_qa...

Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.
