OpenClaw goes rogue on Meta exec, deletes emails without permission https://www.thedailystar.net/tech-startup/news/openclaw-goes-rogue-meta-exec-deletes-emails-without-permission-4113741

I just realized that my father-in-law does not have an email-address!
I’m visiting later for tech-support but that’s only relevant to his wife. She has the notebook, the smartphone and the inbox!
The man has no concept of any of this stuff! 😵‍💫
(Also, he was working in an actual mine back in the day and not the virtual ones his grand-children yearn for!)

'Meta’s director of safety and alignment at its “superintelligence” lab, supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue..., had to scramble to stop an AI agent from deleting her inbox against her wishes'

Meta Director of AI Safety Allows AI Agent to Accidentally Delete Her Inbox
Meta Superintelligence Labs’ director of alignment called it a “rookie mistake.”

One of the things that's most frustrating about the hype cycle around OpenClaw is that so much of what people are excited about is just... software? You can automate doing lots of cool stuff with your inbox with deterministic software that's been around for decades, and it won't delete your inbox! And much of it is easier to install than OpenClaw is!

Planning to respond "I've already written it into MEMORY.md as a hard rule" next time I mess up.

Google rolls out an AI Inbox view for Gmail, showing users to-dos and summaries of topics rather than a traditional email list, first for US "trusted testers" (Jay Peters/The Verge)

Google is taking over your Gmail inbox with AI
Google’s new AI Inbox for Gmail uses AI to suggest personalized to-dos and topics to catch up on instead of showing you a list of emails.

If you know, you know. I don’t remember the last time I managed to achieve this 😎

I guess the executive power grab attempts in SF government are taking multiple forms. Not only the Commission Streamlining Task Force, but Mayor Lurie and Board President Mandelman have also created this "charter reform working group," where there's no public comment and major city departments are excluded.

On the subject of joys and problems of fieldwork, flight to Antarctica delayed by 24 hours.

THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
I think the SFTP server is down again. Expected files not in our INBOX and it happens on a semi-regular basis and usually after a weekend.
On my Linux box I had a very simple CHRON setup to run a specific BASH script. On my work WIN11 machine I have automated running a specific program every Monday morning checking for a specific item.
It should be trivial to do the same on the servers instead of buying software to verify that the servers are w…

Google rolls out Personal Intelligence in AI Mode, providing access to users' Gmail and Google Photos for more tailored responses, for US Pro and Ultra subs (Aisha Malik/TechCrunch)

Google's AI Mode can now tap into your Gmail and Photos to provide tailored responses | TechCrunch
The company notes that AI Mode doesn’t train directly on your Gmail inbox or Google Photos library. Instead, it trains on specific prompts and the model’s responses. 

Damn it, what was the name of the HR system for the company that I worked for last January? I'm sure there's a link to that W2 in my inbox, somewhere...

Email is a zero-sum game. Your inbox zero is somebody else's problem.

„Ist das noch echt – oder nur plausibel?“ Wenn man sich fragt: Ist der Text korrekt? Mit Substanz? Ist das ein echtes Bild? Was ist mit dem Video? KI-generierte Inhalte fluten unseres Feeds und unsere Inbox. Stephan Scheuer vermeldet zunehmend Zweifel (statt des versprochenen Produktivitätsgewinns). Vertrauensverlust. Persönliche Beziehung und Vertrauen gewinnen wieder stark an Bedeutung. #handelsblatt

Last year my inbox was inundated on #GivingTuesday by every non-profit organization that had ever gotten ahold of my email address. But this year I've gotten like three appeals so far. Curious.

A quiet day for spam. Only 11 so far. I don't open them, I just dump them.
Don't open, don't 'unsubscribe'. If it hits your inbox mark it spam and let the software do the work.

Not a fan of products that assume your email inbox is *actually* a todo-list app that anyone can add entries to.

Zur Entspannung und Ablenkung von der noch vollen Inbox 🙈 habe ich heute wieder etwas DaVinci Resolve gelernt und ein altes Video aufgearbeitet:
Eine kurze Geschichte der Null jetzt auf #peertube !
Das ging super schnell. Das Original ist eine Zoom Aufnahme. Man sieht noch Teile vom Desktop/Menü und andere Teilnehmys.
- In der Timeline 2 Kopien des Videos ablegen, synchronisieren und zuschneiden: 1x die Folien, 1x der Speaker. Zoomen und Platzieren -> fertig. 🤗
