🚨A.I. INFILTRATION ALERT🚨
If you use Gmail (which is a LOT of you), the fuckin' company just installed Gemini into all of your "smart features," thus scanning all of your emails
You have to turn it off, then manually re-enable your smart inbox
It's a pain in the ass, but it's worth both steps:

Any man who still whines that "MeToo went too far" (it didn't), most likely has skeletons in their closet or they want to be able to harass women without consequences.
It's a big red flag.

For those like me who are a bit slow, after going to Settings>General you need to click "All Settings". Then you can scroll down as Monica says.
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.

Ogres have a mutualistic relationship with their big sticks – aptly named Persuaders – malevolent mimics that instigate their wielders into raiding settlements for food.. in exchange for plunder.
