Microsoft: Anti-spam bug blocks links in Exchange Online, Teams

GOP Cries Censorship Over Spam Filters That Work

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last week sent a letter to Google’s CEO demanding to know why Gmail was blocking messages from Republican senders while allegedly failing to block similar missives supporting Democrats. The letter followed media reports accusing Gmail of disproportionately flagging messages from the GOP fundraising platform WinRed and sending them to the spam folder. But according to experts who track daily spam volumes worldwide, WinRed’s messages are getting b

Open the pod bay doors, Claude

It’s a well-worn trope in science fiction. We see it in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the premise of the Terminator series, in which Skynet triggers a nuclear holocaust to stop scientists from shutting it down. Those sci-fi roots go deep. AI doomerism, the idea that this technology—specifically its hypothetical upgrades, artificial general intelligence and super-intelligence—will crash civilizations, even kill us all, is now riding another wave. The weird thing is th

My Lethal Trifecta talk at the Bay Area AI Security Meetup

In the pirate case there’s no real damage done... but the risks of real damage from prompt injection are constantly increasing as we build more powerful and sensitive systems on top of LLMs. I think this is why we still haven’t seen a successful “digital assistant for your email”, despite enormous demand for this. If we’re going to unleash LLM tools on our email, we need to be very confident that this kind of attack won’t work. My hypothetical digital assistant is called Marvin. What happens i

As spotted by Tibor on X, ChatGPT is now actively testing support for integrating Gmail and Calendar, so you can stay "organized."

I found a simple toggle to get rid of ads in my Gmail inbox, and I can’t recommend it enough

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority I hate nothing more than advertising online that blends into the rest of the content. That’s especially true when it shows up in places where I least expect it, like my email inbox. In the Gmail app, the biggest offender is the “Sponsored” emails pictured above. These ads often show up like a regular message and look almost the same as any other email — sender, subject line, and all. Some ads are even worse and take up significant real estate to show you prod
