Yeah I've already got a game plan - move the email to proton & sign up for claude to replace gemini search/chat...which I do use heavily. Works out more expensive but claude pro seems to include a little coding agent usage too. Already have one of those (GLM) but a bit of anthropic allowance would be nice The problem is extracting oneself from google is non-trivial. That must be a decade of emails...
Proton has a pretty good importer for GMail/Calendar/Contacts. The downside is that their Android calendar app is shit (a rewrite should come later this year), and Android contact syncing doesn't exist (planned for 2027). Not sure how the situation looks on iOS, but AFAIK it's similar.
Their iOS mail app is fine though doesn’t do offline caching as well as Gmail

You basically cannot enforce any laws on corporations when Republicans are in control. ~50% of voters decided that they should be able to do literally anything they want and Buyer Beware is a good way to structure society and commerce.

shameless plug burlap will let you just use keys from gemini studio or openai and try stuff out without messing with the web interfaces. that's (one reason) i made it https://www.burlap.app/download
That looks solid. Alas UI isn't the problem. I want google to fix their broken plans. Why can a FREE consumer account use antigravity but my $22 plan can't? It's not even consistent within my account. I can generate a Banana 2 image in gemini interface but on aistudio it says I need to pay for an upgrade (which I can't). Do they design their plans with a strong pull from a joint and a magic 8 ball?

I mean it’s already fraud to do so today… you cannot misrepresent the condition of a property. I think the harm so far has just been wasted time and thus no standing for lawsuits yet.
You can stage a property with furniture. Previously that was done with rental furniture.

Why would that be more useful than fighting this fraud? Surely the original images would be more realistic than one passed through AI two times.
What is an original image? A good photographer can also create a completely different impression. And it's hard to get rules applied, suing is often too expensive, for consumers, and governments need to reduce costs, so don't have the funding. It will not be enforceable enough that people wont try tampering with their picture. If you make it a technical solution, e.g., browser plugin, it become an economic opportunit…
Cool, so money is made from lying to me, and more money is to be made from what is fundamentally still lying to me, but with somewhat different intent.
That seems like a lot of pointless economic friction that doesn't generate real value, but what do I know.

> it seems nobody is enforcing consumer protections like they used to I'll preface this by saying that I don't agree with how things are working currently. But, the way the existing protections get enforced is by an individual or group of individuals filing lawsuits. Our regulatory agencies have either been completely gutted by DOGE, or just no longer have an appetite to do any kind of proactive enforcement, so its n…
>so its now up to the victims who have been wronged to bring the violation to the attention of the courts/regulatory bodies responsible for enforcement. lol Have you tried finding a lawyer recently? For anything? >The legal system needs to be made much more accessible, but I'm not sure how that happens or what that looks like.

> As far as consumer protection goes, the party with greater resources or sophistication (e.g., if you retain counsel against a pro se defendant or plaintiff) should have a higher standard of proof
No. Holding parties to different standards of evidence is a horrible idea and would do so much harm to a legal system that is already in many cases failing to function the way it was intended.
Determining who has "greater resources or sophistication" is itself a very thorny issue. For example, class action lawyers often look for Average Joes to become lead plaintiffs in highly-targeted lawsuits. These lawsuits are, in at least some if not many cases, designed less to defend the interests of individuals who have been harmed in some way (even theoretically) and more to extract settlements that result in hefty legal fees for themselves.
In these cases, it would be naive to treat the plaintiffs (who I would argue are proxies for the attorneys) as the parties with fewer resources or sophistication.
The first example of generating home interiors fills me with indescribable hatred. Recently real estate agents have taken to running every dilapidated unsellable apartment through these AI filters, and you have to scroll through a dozen of these Ikea-chic images of what the apartment presumably could look like, before you are allowed to see the horrors they are trying to peddle at insane prices.

And it's borderline fraud, I think I saw an apartment on Streeteasy where they were able to 'fit' an entire desk, drawers and a queen size bed, obviously these image models just scale these down to proportions that just don't exist in real life. the actual bedroom could only fit queen size bed ;(
