So apparently the below is not a correct report, but given the state of trust in Big (Theft) Tech these days, it's not surprising this kind of thing is taken seriously.
I think I previously explicitly disabled the offending settings for "classic" privacy rather than anti-AI-theft reasons.

Before you opt out, be sure to delete everything in your Promotions folder. As soon as I unchecked the box my inbox/promotions/social tabs disappeared, leaving me with about 350 promotional emails mixed in with my inbox mail. Google clearly wants to make usage more annoying if you opt out.
Here’s how to opt out.

A new change quietly rolling out allows Google to access your private messages and attachments to train its AI models - likely without your knowledge. Opting out takes just moments.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

The 'From a Distant Window' exhibit at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum is just wonderful. TOP might be my favorite Tokyo museum, they just always knock it out of the park with their very accessible and well-designed exhibits.

Every now and then it's good to take a moment and remember that however flawed my writing is, it is not...this.
It needs to be emphasized that this paragraph is about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Oof, weird convergence of emails today that are some version of "why haven't you done the thing we asked you to do" when either 1)I've already done the thing or 2)was never asked to do the thing, taking deep breaths and repeating "I am not going insane" several times...

Mamdani got a humanities degree.
His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.
