“…deputies of Elon Musk…” what in holy hell is that?
He is a civilian with an unofficial department where he’s now playing president, I think. He is not any sort of law enforcement officer. He is not a military officer. He doesn’t have “deputies.”
He might have associates, like a mobster. 🤔

Is there any question?

freedomsutra.bsky.social•30 days ago

Why would Musk introduce Gemini? USAID has been using Google for a long time. In fact, they used to do their meetings via Google Teams. So, Gemini is probably part of that package? https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1760849603119947981?s=46&t=2Fp3GN1HFDZMTBP-6Sd5MQ

Who voted for a police state?

ypsidoodle.bsky.social•30 days ago

On the positive side, it's Musk, and it's AI, so we're going to see a lot of Muscovites scurrying around to uncover subversive woke people with six fingers and three knees.

gopokeswyo.bsky.social•30 days ago

I work for a red state, heavy Google user. We just received a letter saying the new AI features should be used over others....it's coming.

meldric.cc•30 days ago

Gemini is Google's AI client. It's being enabled in all Google workspaces by default

If these were Gmail accounts, that's something Google is shoving down all of their users' throats

mathandstuff.bsky.social•31 days ago

Seems a bit dumb.

It's already true that there is no expectation of privacy on government email accounts. If Musk is doing this, it's because he needs to install his own spyware.

I cannot imagine anything good coming out of this. But this also seems like a breach of security.

musedri.bsky.social•31 days ago

Fascism knows no privacy nor does it respect any laws regarding privacy. It seeks only to keep power by any means necessary.

That would be hugely hilarious if Musk's cronies were installing Google's Gemini instead of the National Socialist German Workers Party's Grok.

llamswerdna.bsky.social•30 days ago

Wouldn't Musk have used Grok?

Elon Musk will one day take over the world. Gotta make sure that no one gets in his way.

Fwiw: That’s a shitty Google product.

molloy.bsky.social•31 days ago

That's what I though, a lot of people are complaining about Gemini being introduced to Google Workspace Gmail and cannot remove it.

Is this the case ?

It can be disabled, but it takes a bit of work.

Good ! God knows how much data they sucked in with that shit !

wandrme.paxex.aero•31 days ago

I think it is safe to assume Google still has all your data given that it literally is storing all the emails. But this hides the interface a bit more.

molloy.bsky.social•31 days ago

If Google had only my emails, I would be happy.

freeformz.me•31 days ago

Stuff like this is why I moved all my email out of Google a little over a year ago.

asthejoeflies.bsky.social•31 days ago

can it be disabled for personal accounts

wandrme.paxex.aero•31 days ago

I have no idea; sorry.

Maybe this? https://support.google.com/mail/thread/319012159?hl=en&msgid=319051557

asthejoeflies.bsky.social•31 days ago

lol i tried that but it didn't work. It's awful! :) And I don't think my work IT did it correctly either

vikingmonique.bsky.social•30 days ago

Most likely. Time to be creative in communicating. Sign language, drums, walkie talkie, code, etc.🙃😏 I like code. Can use lots of creativity there.

Elon is Big Brother

This is all hideous.

mcarvin.bsky.social•31 days ago

Google has been rolling Gemini integration out to Workspace versions of Gmail and Google Drive. Don't know if I'd tag that as nefarious.

If it were X's AI, yeah, it'd 100% be hair-on-fire.
