Every tech company and their uncle seems to be rolling out AI features these days, especially ones that promise to summarize all the stuff you’ve got stored in their platforms. From Gmail and Slack to smaller players like Gitbook, everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon—usually behind a shiny premium paywall, of course.

Since we rely on a mix of these big and small tools, we decided to put their new AI toys to the test. We asked them to summarize emails, messages, posts—you name it. The verdict? Meh.

The summaries they spit out are all over the place. They either miss the key points entirely or focus on the most random, irrelevant details. It’s like asking someone for a quick recap of a meeting, and they tell you what snacks were on the table.

So now I’m left wondering: is it just me? Or is Google, Slack, and the rest of the AI crew genuinely struggling to make these features work the way they’re hyped up to?

Just received email from Google they are opening up call center for developers if they need help. Sounds promising after many years of ignoring us?

Ukraine needs real support not using this crisis to push your product!

If you want to make a statement switch off Google services in Russia. That is how revolutions are started!

Google makes less than %0.3 of their total revenue in Russia. Surely that is worth a sacrifice to end this unfair war and tell Russia they cannot invade their neighbors!

We are a long-time Gandi customer and have hundreds of domains registered with them. After their last hack when one of our domains was serving malware we started reviewing security of our domains (see last hack here: https://domainnamewire.com/2017/07/15/bad-guys-get-gandi-nets-password-technical-provider-redirect-domains/)

What we discovered was very troubling. We managed to transfer domain out of our Gandi account without any authorization from our side. To make matter worse, that domain was protected using Domain-lock feature.

We of course reported that to Gandi. That was 2 months ago. Since then we communicated with Gandi legal department many times and they say they are looking into this but they say we are wrong.

2 weeks ago our patience run out, we have migrated all domains that can be affected by this hack (again verifying that hack is still not fixed) and contemplating what to do next.

We could leave it of course and just wait if Gandi come to their senses, or wait until something bad happens.

What do you think is the best way to deal with this? I am hoping that if that post gets noticed more they will be forced to prioritize this fix.
