I want to share my experience today with Google support, trying to get Gemini (their AI/plagiarism machine) turned off in my Google workspace account. That account is where I personally do all my work communication—I am an editor, and most of my work contracts explicitly ban any use of Generative AI
Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, has bent the knee to Trump.
Sure, you can ditch Instagram, avoid Facebook, and never bother creating a TikTok account. But I'm guessing a lot folks have a Gmail account. That means Google can read your emails & Google Docs, see your family photos in GDrive, etc.

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.

You know we wouldn’t be in this much of a mess if we got rid of the President’s ability to pardon people. Just saying.

“The Sam Altman-founded company behind the ‘Orb,’ a volleyball-sized metal sphere that scans irises to prove people's humanity, had a message for employees: work weekends and ignore anything outside your job — for the good of humanity.”
Sam Altman's eye-scanning Orb startup told workers not to care about anything outside work
Tools for Humanity CEO Alex Blania said that "if you should care about something else, and if you want something else, you should just not be here."

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Drew Struzan's approach to composition in his posters will always be a huge inspiration for me. His artwork was a part of what made movies feel like such a spectacle when they were released in theaters. Movie posters will never hit as hard as his did.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
A massive loss 💔
