I've moved to piefed.world! Same name. This account is still active. You can still reach me. I will still accidentally post from it sometimes.

  • You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning

    Jump

  • I don't remember, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    Like, I personally find it useful enough to have stuff enabled, but I do get that people want it off for real. I wouldn't be surprised if the only way to achieve that is to degoogle the phone.

  • I think the article is misunderstanding what is happening (though to be clear I think the email is at fault for that). Google is making it so that app developers can integrate Gemini better by allowing Gemini to interact with those apps. There is a menu inside Gemini where you can switch these interactions on and off (Inside Gemini, click your profile in the upper right corner and press apps in the menu).

    I'm assuming from the email that this will be enabled by default which is a choice they've made and which absolutely could be argued as invasive. That being said you'd actively have to use Gemini and have it be active on your phone in order for it to interact with those apps.

    Assuming Google records whatever you do on your phone whenever you do those things, which many privacy minded people of course legitimately worry about and feel uncomfortable with to various degrees, this is not really anything but another way for your assistant to do more things. If they want to read your stuff that's not really dependent on a switch in the Gemini app.

    So if you have Gemini entirely disabled I don't think this is relevant. Only if you actively seek to use it and do not want it to be able to integrate with external applications will these settings be relevant to you.

  • Well, yeah. I haven't actually seen this email yet in my personal inbox, nor have I found the opt out personally. Google is kinda weird with their staggered rollouts but I figure it'll turn up. I'm on a Pixel, so anything else would be quite odd.

    edit: seems to be in the top right corner of Gemini, press your profile picture and then apps. That's where the settings are. You can opt out of Gemini having access to any app in the list on an individual basis.

  • I don't feel very concerned... That's kind of the point of the service.

    Good that there's an opt-out.

    edit: I dug around for it. They seem to mean the literal "Apps" settings page and not the "Settings" page. Every individual app that Gemini is capable of connecting to has a switch there. In Gemini, press your profile picture, then apps. In there you can both access the activity setting and decide which apps Gemini has access to.

  • American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s

  • I've used it to figure out a button on a vintage calculator which had multiple humans give up assuming it's broken. Neither I, nor the AI knew what it was for but I could use it as a very willing conversation partner that didn't grow tired of trying new things.

    I've had it help me come up with an effective deep fry batter that fit my exact needs and gave a perfect result.

    It's usefulness is limited in many respects but if you have a rough idea of what you're talking about it will (mostly) be helpful. Until it forgets things.

  • Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon

  • I feel like youtube is losing sight of why users are paying for the service then.

    To me, personally, youtube is useful enough that I will keep paying to remove ads entirely (in combination with ublock). That being said, there will come a time when the value proposition is no longer balanced. Then I will stop paying, and probably stop using it as well.

    But as always with Google, I question whether their motive is to kill another service. They're very competent at that specific thing.
