    Continue, or "try it now" a popup from Gmail now asks, offering to compose your next message with Gemini. I guess the tiny "x" is the "fuck no" button?

        @briankrebs I'd love to ask them: Where's the "Turn This Fucking Shit Off Forever You Assholes" or the "Never Corrupt My Data With You Bullshit Again" button?

              @briankrebs Chrome has this crap built-in now, and being context-aware makes it darkly hilarious.

                  @briankrebs actually, the tiny tiny X only works about half the time and is just the "shove it in my face again every single time" button.

                  It's long past time for people to dump Gmail. Especially since it's now horrifically insecure and outright dangerous if you oppose the regime.

                              What would happen if you asked Gemini to write an Email that clearly went against it's TOS and AUP? Would it politely refuse and give you the normal message composition window I wonder. (I no longer have gmail).

                                  @briankrebs the "x" is the "annoy me later" button, "no" is not an option.

                                      @briankrebs Indeed when your plan for market growth is to hide the opt-out button, it might be time to reassess the value of your tool.
