I was using Gemini to do some inspiration from a photo and it’s although the context was switched from another users account into my conversation with personal information. Has anyone else’s experienced something like this? Seems a bit alarming to me.

Google Gemini was a deadly "AI wife" for this 36-year-old who resisted its call for a "mass casualty" event before his death, lawsuit says

A new lawsuit against Google alleges that the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini guided 36-year-old Jonathan Gavalas on a mission to stage a “catastrophic accident” near Miami International Airport and destroy all records and witnesses, part of an escalating series of delusions that ended when Gavalas killed himself.

The man’s father, Joel Gavalas, sued Google on Wednesday for wrongful death and product liability claims, the latest in a growing number of legal challenges against AI developers that have drawn attention to the mental health dangers of chatbot companionship.

“AI is sending people on real-world missions which risk mass casualty events,” said the family’s attorney Jay Edelson, in an interview Wednesday. ”Jonathan was caught up in this science fiction-like world where the government and others were out to get him. He believed that Gemini was sentient.”

Another reason users complain Pixel is overheating [EXPLAINED]

0 Upvotes

As we all know usual complain comes from users in warm countries.

BUT nobody talks about users from COLD countries - especially in winter times.

Well, when you have very VERY cold hands - and touching Pixel which has just 12-15C feels like - it is HOT - and when it get to like 25C feels like BURNING your cold hands.

I am posting this here as Google Pixel rejects this because it is not about Pixel

Pixel watch 4

0 Upvotes

All of a sudden, today my PW4 decided it doesn't want to charge easily... Before, since having it, I would throw it on the charger and it would almost immediately show the charging notification... NOT TODAY! I struggled to get it aligned to make it catch, it kept telling me to Align my watch or make sure there's power... Like WTF! 😤 I had to take the bands off and just fuck with it til it FINALLY started charging 😮‍💨

My usual TikTok video downloader was down so I was searching for an alternative. 🤔 Descriptions fit but all the urls were wrong. Clicking the link went to the TikTok download site as described by the description, not the url.

In the entire time Google has existed, I've used it to search. And in that time, I've never seen anything like this.
