“Gmail’s New Feature: Simplifying Your Inbox with the ‘Unsubscribe’ Option – Learn How to Declutter Your Emails Hassle-Free!”

Google has now simplified the process by separating the ‘unsubscribe’ option from emails on both the mobile and web versions of Gmail.

Given the surge in spam emails from diverse online advertising platforms, many users find them burdensome as they consume a significant portion of Gmail storage. Google has now simplified the process by separating the ‘unsubscribe’ option from emails on both the mobile and web versions of Gmail.

The technology giant divided the “Report spam & unsubscribe” category into two options: “Report spam” and “Unsubscribe.”

While it can be frustrating for users to receive numerous messages from subscribed sources, some individuals mistakenly categorise these legitimate messages as spam. This can adversely affect the sender’s credibility. To tackle this issue, Google has introduced a feature that enables users to decide whether to unsubscribe from such messages or report them as spam.

You can now directly ‘unsubscribe’ to spam emails on Gmail.

As per a Live Mint report, the company through a Google Workspace update, announced the new features aimed at simplifying the process of unsubscribing from unwanted emails in Gmail. Google also acknowledged the frustration users experience in managing unwanted emails and emphasised that the changes are part of efforts to enhance user safety.

The company said that it is moving the unsubscribe button to the hover actions in the thread list on the web. Once the unsubscribe button is clicked on, Gmail sends an HTTP request or an email to the sender to remove the user’s address from the mailing address. Moving the unsubscribe button to the three-dot menu to appear more prominently in the user’s Android and iOS devices.

Google plans to enforce a one-click unsubscribe link requirement for bulk senders, defined as those sending over 5,000 emails, the Live Mint report further said citing to 9to5Google. This measure is expected to be implemented by February 2024. The one-click unsubscribe button will be prominently displayed in the message body, and commercial senders will be obligated to process these unsubscribe requests within a two-day timeframe.

Meta joins the AI race against competitors Microsoft and Google, with plans to develop “human-level” AI shortly!

January 19, 2024 by Nitesh Leave a Comment

After Google and Microsoft, Meta is also joining the race to develop super AI, in an attempt to incorporate ‘human tendencies’ in it.

With Microsoft leading the space of artificial intelligence across the globe with OpenAI, rival firm Meta is also planning to join the AI race. The prime goal of Meta is to develop “super AI”, creating it to reach the same level as humans.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in an interview with The Verge, said on Thursday that his company is joining the pursuit of creating super artificial intelligence, with an aim to create AI that can problem solve and rationalize on the same level as humans.

Artificial general intelligence or AGI is the oft-stated goal of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, and is the central pursuit by the AI departments at Google. Through its developmental goal for AGI, Meta is expected to directly compete with tech giants Google and Microsoft.

Zuckerberg talked about how Meta has employed the best engineers to work towards expanding their presence in AI, and their primary goal is general intelligence.

“We’ve come to this view that, in order to build the products that we want to build, we need to build for general intelligence,” Zuckerberg told The Verge. He further added, “I think that’s important to convey because a lot of the best researchers want to work on more ambitious problems.”

AI has become the new rage with big tech companies after Microsoft-backed OpenAI and its chatbot ChatGPT blew up, creating a competitive sector. The prime competitors in this space remain Microsoft, Google, Elon Musk’s new startup xAI and now, Meta.

Google, according to tech media The Information, is keeping its researchers from being poached with stock compensation while OpenAI lures top staff with multimillion-dollar pay packages.

Job cut fears triggered by AI

While it continues its research on general intelligence (AGI), Meta has already released its AI model Llama 2, and Zuckerberg said his teams were working on a next version. The chatbot of Llama 2 has been made available to the public by the company.

Meanwhile, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has triggered fears in the industry regarding major job cuts in the future. Google has already fired hundreds of employees this year, with more layoffs on cards for 2024.

Further, Microsoft-backed HumaneAI has cut a massive chunk of its workforce in January 2024, just before the release of its first-ever product, a wearable AI pin.

Meta has not made any prominent job cuts in the year till now, but big tech companies overall have laid off 7500 employees just in the first three weeks of January 2024, triggering fresh fears on how AI could replace humans in the workplace.

Google Layoffs Employees, Move Comes Year After Google cut roughly 12,000 jobs

January 16, 2024 by Nitesh Leave a Comment

Google layoffs employees this year. This move came a year after Google had cut roughly 12000 jobs. The move impacts employees within hardware and central engineering teams, as well employees who work on Google Assistant, the company’s voice-activated software product.

Kevin Bourrillion, who worked at Google as a senior software engineer for nearly 19 years, was among the many who were fired as part of the search giant’s ongoing efforts to reduce expenses.

The company layoffs this year impacts employees within hardware and central engineering teams, as well employees who work on Google Assistant, the company’s voice-activated software product. Other parts of the company were also affected. The layoffs are also hitting the teams that produce Google’s Nest, Pixel and Fitbit devices, with many of the cuts affecting the company’s augmented reality team.

Bourrillion was one of the employees laid off. “End of an era! After 19 years of working at Google, with more than 16 of them on the team that I founded, I made the tough decision yesterday morning to finally bite the bullet and find out that I’d been laid off overnight,” he wrote in a post shared on X.

Bourrillion said the layoffs came at an opportune time.

“Layoffs suck, but in my case… it’s fine, because I’ve needed some kind of change in my life for a very long time,” he wrote. “And I have no plans to rush into anything else right now. I’ve got too much to do: cycling, reading, restarting my drum lessons, travel, family time. etc. etc.”

The Google layoffs of employees come about a year after Google cut roughly 12,000 jobs, reducing the company’s workforce by about 6%.

“This will mean saying goodbye to some incredibly talented people we worked hard to hire and have loved working with. I’m deeply sorry for that,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post last January.
