How to Feed a Robot
-
[tags: #kangaroo #robot #technology #comicstrip #anthro #funny #noai #krita #digitalart]
Comic panel comparing two robots and how to properly "feed" them. Text at top: How to Feed a Robot To the left: An X and the text "WRONG" is above a cold, unfeeling, boxy "AI Image Generator" which is using its yellow robotic claws to consume a painting through its shredder-like mouth. A smokestack on the robot's left is spewing out lots of smog. To the right: A green checkmark and the text "RIGHT" is above a picture of an overjoyed, hungry Robo-Roo holding a freshly baked rhubarb pie.

This Secret Of Monkey Island ad from 1991 includes details of the Monkey Island Treasure Hunt. What's that? Certain 3M diskette boxes (and a write-in offer) included a demo you could complete to win a cruise (or a sound card!)

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.

I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.
[Correction] Gmail can read your emails and attachments to power "smart features"
Did you know that Gmail can use your emails and attachments for its smart features? Here's how to check your settings.

"Dog Days" by D.T. Carlisle, 1929-1931
February 27th, 1929 as seen in the Clarion-Ledger
Single panel comic strip "Dog Days." A dog tied to a tree uses the slack of his rope to trap another dog. "Now will you swipe any more of my bones" the first dog asks. The strip was renamed to "Life of Riley" midway through its run.
