PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!
"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."
Today, Google opted everyone into their AI scraping of emails, etc. Like a lot of folks here, I went in and turned that functionality off. Now inbox categories and possibly junk filtering no longer works. All this stuff worked yesterday and clearly does not require AI scraping. This is literally following the Enshittification Playbook.
Any suggestions for an Android IMAP client so I can get off of Gmail?

FWIW I read this as a not-very-coded warning to governments that they need to get their wallets out. They learned from the banks that as long as they got "too big to fail" they could knowingly inflate this bubble without personal consequences. #AI #Google #USPol #UKPol #TechNews

#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
