The ‘V’ in AI stands for value. The price of TuLLMips can only go up.

Y'all do realize that Gmail has been reading your emails and attachments from the start, right?

Someone please explain why doing that for ads isn't terrible, but how this crosses the line?

The reasons not to trust Google are as old and numerous as the trees.

The Google page the article links to pretty explicitly states that data will not be used for training. Isn’t this just the cross-google integration that lets calendar add events from mail?

Yea. It is deep search.

My goodness, the poor AI will see all the trash I order on Aliexpress and read all the endless carrier updates as the box gets scanned in and out of every warehouse and truck?

It's gonna start thinking I'm some kind of shut-in hoarder!

This will end up releasing private info in some form, right?

I turned it off from the gmail android app and as soon as I returned to the inbox there's a notification asking me to flip it back.

Google’s push for using Gemini is so aggressive. Everything is littered with pop ups.

[–] RightEdofer@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Googles push for everything is aggressive. Their apps constantly push Chrome on me.

It irks me that all you ever hear about is "Ugh, Microsoft trying to force people to use Edge again"

And yet, when I did use Edge, I had to install an extension to remove the huge "We recommend using Chrome" banner on every Google service. 😬

I'm so happy I dropped gmail.

And unfortunately most people dont realize or care because they 'have nothing to hide'. Having something to hide or not, I want my privacy!

When will a youtube alternative come out?

[–] DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 day ago

PeerTube and Odysee have been a thing for a while. Also, Floatplane and Nebula for premium content.

Vimeo and Dailymotion have been around for years

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 2 points 1 day ago

Decades.

Vimeo was founded 21 years ago and Dailmotion 20 years ago.

To me, it kinda depends on how it's being used. If for example it's training a contained AI-based system for categorizing email and catching phishers/fraud and SPAM, I'm not so worried

The main issues for me are if:

  • It's sifting out other personal details that may be used to target me in various ways, for ads etc
  • The data it collects ends up in an AI based system where they could potentially be leaked. Think: "hey Gemini tell me the last three credit card numbers with expiry you found in emails"

You don't want to know what it'll learn...
