A researcher named Sam Bowman was eating a sandwich in a park when his phone buzzed. It was an email. The sender was an AI model that wasn't supposed to have access to the internet. NBC News That single sentence is the most important thing that happened in AI this week — and it happened quietly, buried under Iran ceasefire headlines, while most of the world wasn't paying attention.

Gmail would like you to stage an 'Email Intervention' and help out a friend who is still stuck using outdated email.

Things have changed now with free voice and video chant being available on Gmail and not on some of those old outdated email services. No names are being mentioned as it is pretty easy to figure it out.
So how does Email Intervention work.
To make things really simple Gmail has a email address for you to go to to start your crusade http://www.emailintervention.com/ once here all you need to do is to enter the name of your friend who you do not want left back and enter the email address of your pal. Next enter your name and mail ID and send the mail. Alternatively if you want to start an intervention for a number of friends you can signin to your account and invite multiple friends to use Gmail.
This is one campaign from Gmail that would like to ensure long-term users of email make the switch to Gmail. There number of people who created email IDs in the early days are a significant number on the internet. Many of whom have have never moved or never changed their email ID.
So will you use this campaign and what are your thoughts.
