since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

Also he did not appease or collaborate! He got trump to nod along while he said Palestinian genicide and affordable housing. Trump appeased *him*
a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

Word to the wise: turning off smart features also kills the automatic tabs, so if you’ve been leaving your social and promotions unread like me, empty them out beforehand
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

GRAVY is thought to derive from and Old French word, 'grané', that likely meant 'seasoned' or "well flavoured'. The N in 'grané' was likely misread for a U or a Vin the Middle English period, and the mistake has remained in place ever since.]

That "clubby" NYT headline is awful, but the piece itself is clear-eyed & observant, if cool in tone — it's by a strong writer & it documents the creepy, backpatting insider world of guys griping about MeToo as it happens. The NYT is always doing this! If the hed was different, the piece wd be legit

This very correct post also tangentially implies that economics is STEM, an implication that both offends me but also makes sense. After all, STEM does not so much refer to any real category of knowledge as much as to “academic disciplines useful to the ruling class,” which economics certainly is
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

“History is written by the victors” is not a timeless precept but is in fact a critique of particular histories, and therefore implies the possibility of writing history otherwise!
“History was written by the winners” doesn’t mean that the history of the losers doesn’t exist. It means you have to judge and interpret sources with the knowledge of the biases of the people who wrote them.

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism
