I sit down for a chat with Blake Barnes, VP of Product for Gmail. We cover a lot of ground, all centered around the new Gemini in Gmail features that Google recently announced. Blake walks us through the three new Gmail AI features: Proofread, AI Overviews, and AI Inbox. Plus, he shares what Gmail will look and function like in the future and what it means for users. Hint: AI Inbox is about to change the way you use Gmail. This was a wonderful chat, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I’m sending a huge thank you to the entire Google Workspace team for the opportunity to chat with Blake. And of course, thank you, Blake, for your time.

The YouTube Invalid Traffic bug is back in a big way and this time my revenue is down about 54%. I made less money in 2023 from YouTube than I made in 2022 - even with more subs, views, and watch time. Go figure.  So, in this episode of Talk Techie To Me, I'm providing an update on the invalid traffic issue, sharing the growing list of affected YouTube Creators, and asking anyone who is a lawyer or journalist to please get in touch with me. We need all hands on deck.  If you or someone you know has been hit by the YouTube invalid traffic bug, you can find the list here:  https://pnuk.com/youtube/category/INVALID-TRAFFIC?country=&page=1 Join my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TasiaCustode Support me: https://ko-fi.com/tasiacustode
