So this is protection against Google? Well. It would make sense, but I somehow doubt they are really doing that.

It applies to keeping any attackers out.

No idea why that is. Is copilot really a lot more crappy than other LLM manifestations? Or is its crappiness just more obvious?

Indeed. And there is a second problem: Since this seems to be gmail-only, it does not solve any issues with email sent over the open Internet. Unless gmail uses non-encrypted protocols for the client connections?

I am a bit confused as to what advantage this supposedly has?

At this time that still means reduced security. That will eventually change, but not anytime soon. That said, for most uses, this should be fine, even if one goal is obviously creating a google-only email system.

It is basically a case of using tech in a criminal context without understanding that tech. The OP is right that for most people the workaround is to not use tech. If you are a forensics expert for the tech you are using, you can probably do better. Otherwise, far too risky.

Obviously nothing. But for the religiously deranged, "church" solves anything. Obviously, in actual reality it is a massive problem and routinely a massive manifestation of evil.

Indeed. These repulsive defectives seem to think that denial changes reality.

Simple answers for people with simple minds. Actual reality is a lot more complex.

The Big Lie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) worked in the 3rd Reich (and many other places and continues to work) not because the Nazis were a lot better at using it. The Big Lie works because, generally, people are dumb and without insight. Present the average person with anything where disagreeing might incur a cost, and they will readily agree, regardless of what they agree to and regardless of how evil that makes their action.

You know, most ACs seem to be far dumber than the typical LLM. Which is quite an accomplishment.

Actually, no. That just seems to be the primary motivation to create companies in the US. It is not the only reason and, for people that are not total greedy scum, it may not even be a goal besides financial viability. Profits a entirely optional and there strong evidence that running a company with a primary motivation of generating profits is detrimental for its survival. And society, incidentally. You have fallen for some thinly veiled religious fundamentalist propaganda.

As usual, you are without insight. Your usual mode.

No argument.

Possibly. Or they want to demonstrate strength. A nuke test does that. Remember that North Korea even faked one to look strong.
