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.

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.

Companies like to make metadata sound innocuous, but it matters more than you might think. Here’s why. ssd.eff.org/module/why-...
Why Communication Metadata Matters
As its name suggests, metadata is data about data. Metadata is used in a variety of contexts, often for cataloging information, like tagging keywords in a video so it’s easy to find later. When it comes to computers, people often first think of "file metadata," which includes details about when...

“We just know that this system, with those safeguards, and with that process has been massively abused to take down lawful speech, because people recognize that it’s a legal means of censoring speech online,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @prismreports.org.

How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search.

Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.

Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

I just sent an email with this information in it to my local MP but I cannot believe that this is something even being considered. What a fuckton of horseshit the world is at the moment.
If there's ever a post of mine that you share, make it this one

The UK government is considering allowing copyright exceptions for AI training. Below is a letter I sent to my MP explaining why this is a terrible idea, along with instructions on how to forward it to your own MP

one of the reasons bluesky works differently is because early users waged a successful fight to get the devs to prioritize safety features to protect communities at risk

as a result bluesky now has a suite of controls that i think are unmatched on social media

here’s the list, lmk what i’ve missed
