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.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Price drop! Reducing my hours at work so I can keep up with school. I hope to make more of these in my little bit of free time to make up the difference!

Trico art doll
I made a few Trico dolls back then in 2017/18 and this is one of those few creatures that I wanted to repeat after so many years. Surprisingly, I sculpted his head 90% from memory and only opened references to touch up some details. Definitely a quite memorable fella.

Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft?
Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago.
In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

I really hate it when a friend or coworker, who is very much not fat, says that they are fat with their whole chest. Because that must mean I, who is visibly and obviously a heavier weight than they are, must be hella fat. :’)
