WeChat’s XiaoWei PC launch has everyone creeped out by its watching eyes and privacy concerns. But the real story isn’t surveillance—it’s a silent heist.

Google is killing Assistant next month. Not because it’s broken, but because they want you on Gemini — a more data-hungry AI. The assistant you trained is being sacrificed for a corporate strategy. This isn’t progress; it’s a forced migration that betrays the trust you built. Here’s why you should be angry.
The recent exposure of Claude users’ shared conversations in Google search results reveals a chilling truth: AI privacy is an illusion.
