This will be challenging for you, as it was for me. I was sucked in by everything free, easy and done for you too. But with this latest report about how many issues can happen when one company is controlling everything, your life can spiral downwards especially if those in control have zero morals. Why else would you support evil people if you aren’t evil yourself? I’ll provide a few resources below and this story which prompted this article today.

I have gone back to the “old” way of checking my emails. Using gmail is very limited now. I lulled into using their one website catch all trickery.
- I like using Time and Chaos
- Mozilla Thunderbird for emails.
- Because I have my own website I can preview emails before I download them, but I am currently paying for Mailwasher.
- I mainly use Brave internet browser, which some sites don’t like because they love the Google spy on you way of things.
Because Google can track us regardless, as can Fakebook, we are stuffed until some sort of regulation is implemented. Perhaps I should investigate a VPN, but it is probably a bit late as they know everything already.
JUST IN: Google loses $70 BILLION in market value after Gemini AI exposed as woke
Hannah Nightingale Washington DC
Google parent company Alphabet lost over $70 billion in market value, with stock prices falling as much as 4.4 percent on Monday following the pause on Google Gemini’s AI image creator and posts surfaced of Gemini’s responses in the chat feature.
According to Bloomberg, Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes warned in a research note that problems that have arisen with Gemini may fuel the perception that Google is “an unreliable source for AI,” as many companies try to launch their own AI platforms.
“We have been arguing that Search behavior is about to change – with new AI-infused features,” said Reitzes. “This ‘once in a generation’ change by itself creates opportunities for competitors, but even more if a meaningful portion of users grow concerned about Google’s hallucinations and bias.”
The plunge came as Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said on Monday that Gemini’s image generating feature would be offline for a “few weeks” to address issues raised, according to the New York Post.
“We have taken the feature offline while we fix that. We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks,” Hassabis said.
Images generated by the feature included a female pope, a black George Washington, and other racially diverse recreations of historic figures.
During his appearance at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Hassabis said that the feature was “not working in the way we intended.”
Gemini’s chat feature has also refused to say that pedophilia is wrong but had no trouble condemning the use of the n-word. It also could not define what a woman is.
Gemini has also refused to give a straightforward answer when asked whether popular conservative figures were better or worse than dictators of the past such as Hitler and Stalin.
