What about the model? My understanding is those queries are saved by the model provider.

Given this administration, and the privacy issues with the official WH app, this feels very misleading.

Not taking the free PhD path I was offered.

We are a small web development company. I'd say that about 20% of our clients used this feature because gmail WAS their email client. They did't want to use a device-based mail client.

I am happy we will no longer have to support this. Losing the POP access a couple years ago got about half of them to move, and this will kill it off.

The video showcases his new version. The live version is his old version.

I think the fundamental issue is social communication without any social consequences. In real life if you continually insult and troll people, you will be a pariah. Online, you can find others who admire and support that behavior. And all you need is another anonymous/pseudonymous account to keep doing it if you get blocked.

And no, that does not mean that I am calling for identification. It just seems to be a natural consequence of having social interaction without real consequences.

Sir, this is a Wendy's

With streaming balkanized into so many individual providers, it's hard to pay for more than a couple.

So the Grandson has learned to discriminate ads from content, and as soon as an ad comes one, we all chorus, "Stinky Ad!" and then everyone rushes to be the first person to get to the remote and skip it.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's what we have.

No. Wouldn't try it for free.

It's possible there would be a market for this in genres where there is a strong parasocial connection to the author that drives a desire to simulate interaction.

For something factual or scientific/mathematical, I would not want to interact with a nondeterministic pretend version of the author.

Grok is literally built to create nonconsensual porn, so this doesn't seem very surprising to have it sexualize translations.

I plugged the tweet text into Google Translate and it looked just fine. Same with ChatGPT. YMMV

Yep, for-profit healthcare is a bad idea. It's the main reason our USA healthcare costs so much.

It's not the lack of spelling and grammar.

It's the "reduction to the mean" that turns everything into bland corporate-friendly prose like the bulk of the corpus that AI models ingest.

Unironically, this is exactly the state of the world in 2026

My daughter (29) is getting a filing cabinet and pastel folders. And a cute EDC kit with knife, pen, and screwdriver. My grandson (2) is getting books, little people, and a cheap drone that floats and is controlled by hand movements.

As an agency owner, we don't use these tools regularly but we have clients who do, and we support them. As far as the domains, they are a registrar like any other. You can transfer the domains away or to them like any other registrar. This means that the customer "owns" it for the period of time it is registered for with an accredited registrar. The web builder companies do not own it on your behalf.

There are no real SEO penalties, but as with any web property, you have to do the work to get all the SEO working as you want.

As far as benefits for developers, give me an open source tool any day that I can improve on, extend, or mess up with sketchy coding. These tools are meant for consumers to build their own sites for the most part. They represent the initial commodification of "get a website". They are more difficult and/or expensive to extend than a tool like WordPress, Laravel, Hugo, etc. And they are walled gardens, which means they are difficult to migrate away from.
