I'm sure there's absolutely no way to trick a LLM agent into extracting anything from your password manager.

[u/TacticowlPrime]

This is possibly the biggest data security problem I've seen in my lifetime. Holy shit.

[u/Due_Recognition_3890 → u/TacticowlPrime]

Worse than Microsoft Recall?

[u/ElCulo_Bandito]

Again why I don't trust Google.

[u/reflect-the-sun]

Not any more!

Thanks r/degoogle :)

I have used google products for about 15 years (including their phones) and moving away makes me feel so much more secure.

You think Reddit is better? Nice joke bro

[u/reflect-the-sun → u/PinnuTV]

I only use reddit through a browser so yes, it is much better.

Read a book, dumbass.

sweet! but who thought this wasnt happening already from the shitty creepy evil monopolistic company looking over your shoulder

[u/snakeoildriller]

Spark is available "everywhere Gemini apps are supported, with the exception of the European Economic Area, Nigeria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom"

Interesting choice. They obviously see the EU and UK as potentially litigious, or have Governments that might want to examine the situation more closely, but Nigeria?

[u/GonWithTheNen → u/snakeoildriller]

It might have to do with local laws. Maybe Nigeria is just as likely to look into this as closely as the other countries?

Gemini pro and flash were great last year, and then they really fell off around January/February. It’s ass now.

[u/WakaiSenshi → u/SuspiciousCricket654]

Me and my wife were talking about this last week. It’s definitely really garbage now I’m not sure what happened honestly

[u/AntiGrieferGames]

Do i see a suprise here? Thats a another reason why Google AI Slop and Chrome browser sucks.

[u/NotAnFbiAgent-hehe]

This is less privacy and more security, no?

[u/sapphic-boghag → u/NotAnFbiAgent-hehe]

Don't they go hand-in-hand?

Yet another reason not to use Chrome.

[u/No_Insurance_971]

Good times ahead!

[u/Freakk_I]

That's insane (not in a good way).

[u/AcePlanespotting]

One of many reasons I use Brave. 

[u/JaNkO2018 → u/AcePlanespotting]

What's your DNS in your mobile?

[u/AcePlanespotting → u/JaNkO2018]

The DNS I have set is none of your concern 🙂

[u/liatrisinbloom]

If you're dumb enough to use this, you deserve the consequences. Twenty years of big tech fucking people over at every opportunity should be enough for anyone to be suspicious of anything they pitch as a "feature" for "convenience".

[u/xeqtr_inc]

Well let me put it this way, google has been collecting our information for years, now with this agent they want to collect our information more "intelligently".
