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.

I can’t think of a better analogy for AI than the HHGTTG description of the Nutri-Matic machine.

Finally got to meet X-Men comics writer Chris Claremont. I was wearing a Godzilla shirt, so of course he started riffing ideas for a Godzilla story for free. Cool dude.

for all the people canceling their disney plus subscription over kimmel, i suppose i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn’t know that you should have already been doing that. disney plus has been one of the BDS movement’s priority boycott targets for quite some time.

I already thought this pencil portrait Jack Kirby did of his wife Roz was great but then I read the caption: "A drawing of Mrs. Kirby done, from memory, on the back of a piece of German stationery picked up off a dead enemy soldier." DAAAAMMMMNNN!

billionaire creates white supremacist antisemitic ai bc he assumes the only reason it criticizes him is bc its being too woke is brilliant writing. and just after he announced he was going to start a political party called the america party? this place can’t be real.

don’t know if this is a red flag or green flag, but one of my greatest pleasures in life is watching the climatic duel in a samurai movie, and declaring “got ‘im” at the end

We have to bomb the nuclear enrichment sites Iran started working on again after we ended the deal that prevented them from working on them, because we can’t let the oppressive theocratic government we helped create have the nuclear weapons they don’t have and probably weren’t building

2. Key political facts are this: Trump is trying to do 2003 again (WMDs, fake intelligence, war of choice) but this is not 2003. He doesn't have a 9/11 to scare public into support, USA is war weary from decades of failed wars. Trump is unpopular and war is unpopular. The moment to organize is now

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power
"To everyone who pulls me aside to whisper with the best intentions 'You have already won', I am sorry, but the days of moral victories are over. And as my father told me years ago, 'When the Right wins power, the Left writes a great book.' Those days are over too."

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks
I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

Killing Supergirl and then erasing her from the new reality so she didn’t even get her heroic sacrifice called back to like Barry was such a terrible decision. Made with a check!
I cannot believe they killed Supergirl with a “Check Yes or No” note.

Wikipedia is in the unique position that not only does it rely on a massive volunteer workforce who will absolutely stop doing that work at the drop of a hat, it also relies on donations from the public.
And "AI" is unpopular and despised by the majority of both groups.

IMHO in the best Batman stories, Bruce is deeply intertwined with caring for his community. I'm not saying that's how he's always written, but I think the aughts view of Batman as an obvious authoritarian is a bit antiquated after the last decade or so of Batman stories.
