The numbers out of the UK on age-verification are devastatingly bad.
A quarter of Britons are already using a VPN. And 22% have downloaded or considered a VPN since the OSA went into effect.
60% say it will increase government censorship.
More than half say its making children less safe.

Public think Labour will use new online laws for censorship
Broad desire to protect children and scepticism over legislation fuels growing ‘paradox in public opinion’

The issue with AI altering old movies that really sticks in my craw (beyond the obvious) is people chirping that they are just doing what the original filmmaker/creatives would have wanted.

Why read books? Because there's a book for EVERYONE out there. And once you find the right book - reading will change your life forever! #literacy

Google Drive/Docs eating people's work if it's wrongthink is exactly why I never considered it as an alternative to MS Office and went with the non-cloud LibreOffice. I realize no digital storage is foolproof but this at least has a fighting chance.

For those not in the know, I've been informed by credible sources that Google Docs is now culling material written and saved there that does not meet political or community standards (i.e. NSFW fanfics have disappeared from people's Google Docs storage!).

They think the people who write in Google Docs are the same as people who code, in which I frequently now get 10 lines of irrelevant nonsense suggested to me

The new Google AI functionality in Docs is total mind-ruining shit. Hit enter in docs, it takes over your cursor to offer to help you write. Every. Time. You. Hit. Enter. Do you know how annoying that is when you are writing something? It's someone interrupting you every minute. MAKE IT STOP.

Whatever this is thankfully hasn't hit my Google Docs but turning off Labs in Drive settings is supposed to kill gen AI stuff you can't opt out of. Plus:
In Slides & Docs: Tools > Preferences then turn off Smart options.
In Sheets: Tools > Suggestion Controls, turn off Autocomplete.

Google really has an entire app called Keep that only exists because you can't download images from a Google Doc. WTF ?!?

At first I thought this was incredibly creepy, and then I realized something intriguing. So I'm composing a novel in Google docs, as I am wont to do. And suddenly the AI assistant Gemini pops in (annoyingly) and summarizes my work in progress. It was eerily accurate. (1/5)
