screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it"

header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets"

below that:
Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files. 

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history.

For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting.
Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.

My mate says his pet rodent is so well behaved that he could trust him with the most valuable work from his collection of French Impressionist paintings. I bet him Β£100 that he couldn't. It's time for him to put his Monet where his mouse is.

Thinking about how human cloning technology could be used to not only revive famous musical acts, but make them even better. Just imagine Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Crosby, Stills, Stills, Nash, Young & Young

πŸ“£ Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

The terrifying thing is the number of people who seem to want this, who say it saves them from having to think, as if existence should be a unchallenging and comfortable dream.

Voor de miljoenste keer: het plan staat haaks op het principe van individuele privacy. Het is ONMOGELIJK om een veilige achterpoort in een E2EE-systeem in te bouwen.

Experts zeggen dit al 50 jaar (it's the maths, stupid), maar politici willen gewoon niet luisteren.
