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.

Did some small amount of cleaning that was long overdue. Want to move on to dusting and reorganizing some things this weekend that’s also overdue.

Good news! My family and I are getting that new refrigerator tomorrow (at the time of this post)! About time since as mentioned before, the other was getting old & had features that no longer worked, including the ice machine & that the water dispenser will sometimes freeze on us.

Permission to slightly rant a bit—the first couple of weeks of November SUCKS! My family’s microwave nearly caught on fire and now our ten year old refrigerator is shorting out. All of which happened in the span of a few days.

No offense, but why? Who would it even be for? Also movies take a few years to make, so wouldn’t the Labubu craze be irrelevant by then?

I initially did not want to comment on this (because I want to keep my account clean for the most part), but I am going to say this—1) No, just no to more A/I/ and 2) Screams “terrible idea” to trust the users.
Disney CEO Bob Iger said his company is talking with AI companies about allowing subscribers to create their own short-form videos on Disney+.

Planning on sharing one of my sketchbook pages as soon as I fill it in. Been playing around with Sharpie Highligh markers & I think I’ll use them for simple things like a background or quick shading.

On the one hand, at least there’s progress & we also have Skyrim. But on the other hand, let’s not announce games unless they are halfway finished through development.

Square, no. Just no. As a related aside, remember when they tried getting into the NFTs and then did a string of unsuccessful live service games? That’s how I imagine this GenAI push would go for them.
Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
If what you created isn’t “popular” or didn’t “do well” by “fandom standards,” that doesn’t mean you aren’t talented. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good idea. That doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard enough.
You. Made. Something. And. That. Is. Awesome.

Talk about not reading the frickin’ room. 😑Thankfully, I haven’t drank Coca-Cola in years because after this statement I would just take my money elsewhere.
Another quote from Coca-Cola's Head of Generative-AI:
“The haters on the Internet are the loudest. A lot of the people complaining last year were from the creative industry who were just afraid"
