More stupid AI bullshit by Google.
Also: they're starting to stuff it all over Android as well, including the messaging app - why you need fucking AI in your text messages boggles the mind.
Just turn off RCS chat to get rid of it there tok

Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

VR pioneer Jaron Lanier was our guru at NYU circa 90s - still remember his lecture on the data glove. He brings wisdom, insight and humanity into a space that needs guidance from a visionary who isn't wedded to profiteering. #xr #vr #ai
