I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

I think it would be good enrichment if you gave a bunch of librarians the chance to hunt James Patterson for sport

it’s not that i think women authors should get a pass for writing bad books because they’re women it just does not escape my notice that the various women purveyors of mass market novels on sale in the airport are hunted for sport daily whilst james patterson and his ilk remain at large

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.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

hello! freg!
8 panel comic P1: A title panel; borderless. We see a highly stylised --and decidedly grompy looking-- frog sitting atop a lily pad. The overly exuberant title above them reads "Hello! FREG!" P2: A close up on Freg, as their mouth opens slightly, a look of realisation on their face. The text reads: "Oh! Freg has something to say!" P3 & 4: Back to the POV form the first panel, as Freg gradually hinges open their jaw impossibly wide, almost 180 degrees. P4: We dolly back, as an absolute ream of text spews forth from the open mouth. "Jumping no longer elicits the feeling of sheer joy in me like it did, once upon a time. However, jump I MUST, because what else can I do? You ask my, why, then, would I continue to jump? Dear reader, you may as well ask me the same of breathing." "To not jump is to admit defeat. To give up entirely." P6: We switch to a dramatic low angle, with a fish lens effect, as Freg stares up at the sky, which is filled with cotton candy clouds. P7: Freg --saying "I must away"-- "jumps" off the pad. I say "jumps" because Freg looks like they are simply being dragged by a computer mouse into the air. P8: We end on a borderless panel, far back from the lily pad. The only sign Freg existed are a few ripples in the water around the pad.
