@Tutanota could you source your information ?
Dear Prospective PhD Applicant,
I very much appreciate you find my work inspiring, but I have absolutely no interest at all in supervising future theses on making toxic tech such as #genAI #LLMs Very Slightly Less Toxic (tm).
Personally for your future studies I’d encourage you to envision, seek out, study, and build technologies that have a role to play in just and sustainable futures. <3 🍀
Refreshing to see a supervisor being this direct upfront rather than letting students spend years on work that won't survive ethical scrutiny. What fields or problem spaces are you actually pointing students toward when they ask?

1. The Main Switch
This is the main setting Google shows you, but it's not the only one.
Gmail (Desktop):
⚙️ Settings → See all settings → Smart features and personalization → Uncheck "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet" → Save Changes.
@Tutanota
First, inventory all accounts where you use your Gmail, then change your Gmail address on these accounts to a privacy-focused email, such as Tuta or Proton mail. Use different aliases, for example for online purchases, banking matters, etc. Keep monitoring your Gmail in the meantime. Are you receiving all your mail on Tuta or Proton? Delete your Gmail account.

Good night!

No, we're not renaming it. All map data in Organic Maps comes from the OpenStreetMap project.
@organicmaps love your app, been using it on Android and Linux since forever <3
Is Flock the only mass surveillance tool/network that people should be worried about? No. But it is an entry point for people from all walks of life to the fight against mass surveillance and I'm glad people are paying attention and taking action.
@evacide *seething irritation at everyone dissing resistance because it doesn't fix everything all at once*
Listening to “Ballot Result” while washing the dinner dishes. Cozy.
Cried in frustration over my emails at 7:30 am on a Monday morning about stupid shit that's going to happen in orbit and my inability to do anything about it, and my apparent inability to even organize others to do anything about it. It's going to be great week, I can tell.
@sundogplanets You've done so much and it's just not right.
But if it helps you get through the day, just think what you'd feel like if you hadn't tried at all.

What am I worth to these boys anyway. Glad I could give them a couple of woke pieces to publish on the website so they could pull this move 2 years later
I’m trying to move on I swear but I am so fucking mad still
There isn’t even a bit of closure to be had. It just sucks plain and simple and whatever I also suck anyway
@nileane I only just got caught up on it in the past few days, and it's been really frustrating from the outside. I don't know how you felt about the grand focus shift to AI, but that was a downhill trend for me just for its all-encompassing nature. But watching them double back any time they took a stance on a platform (first Meta, now X) was really maddening.
I feel for you and the others who walked and didn't get so much as a word of (real) public acknowledgment for it.
Organizovaný zločin používá čím dál víc „paralelní finanční systém“ hawala. Pomáhala to odhalit evropská síť veřejnoprávních médií, systém si osobně vyzkoušela belgická novinářka.
@Robinzz3 @mttaggart This is my concern about so called social media in general, but I hear (read?) you: AI is like pouring accelerant on a tire fire.
@Spartan_1986 @Robinzz3 This particular technology excepted from the economic engine is, imo, a distinction without a difference. LLMs, by their very nature, could not exist (and continue to exist/evolve) without a scale of computing only realizable under this kind of corporate wealth, or nationalized control of production. There is no human scale for LLMs. NLP, sure. SLMs, maybe. But not this.
Love someone the way tech bros love fascism.
