Hm. Google Gemini has humans reading sampled chats for "quality assurance." And you can't opt out. How nice...
I wonder, how ethical would it be to flood Gemini with chats that say mean and nasty things about the human reviewers, for them to see? Or to encourage them to find a better job?
Not that I recommend being cruel to anyone, ever. But... guerilla tactics can be effective.

I have not done any update on my sonlink interface in a while.
That's mostly because I use it all the time and I don't encounter much issues.

In 2020, during the George Floyd uprising, hearing the national and international news coverage of the neighborhood where I live, I saw with painful personal clarity something I already knew:
The feel of news coverage — its content, its voice, its perspective — is far more the feel of the org doing the reporting than it is the feel of the reality they are covering.

While on the one hand public figures share a lot more personal information on the internet, which will always be preserved through articles, replies, screenshots etc., chat conversations, which somewhat replace letters, are encrypted, often with disappearing …

0 days since my tooth cracked, and I wasn't even eating anything hard. I was honestly hoping that now that my #diabetes is settled the teeth problem are over, but alas. Hopefully it was badly damaged in the past, and just reached its limit now, and it won't be followed by more anytime soon. Now waiting for it to crack completely, and hopefully there will be enough left to rebuild something.
With the way things are going, instead of taking a mental health day, you'll have to ask for a "personal context window compaction" day.

It’s not a full-fledged argument, but I was just thinking how a standard narrative is “early computers were so large they filled complete rooms, then came the personal computing revolution, and now we carry computers much more powerful in our pockets” when actually the way we use our mobile computers they are again input/output terminals of computers that fill entire rooms (or halls, really).
