  @ChrisCoffee @Meta WIld. Had my 30 year gmail account shut down a couple weeks back, still don't know why(everything attatched to it.) Crazy you can lose all those years of work though at a companies whim.

  @sama Hi Sam. A post saying, “I’m in serious trouble because my ChatGPT account was banned,” is going viral in Japan. Of course, there may have been legitimate reasons in this particular case, but ChatGPT accounts have become extremely important to people. Imagine how disruptive it would be if a Gmail account you had used for 20 years suddenly became inaccessible one day. I understand that, because ChatGPT and Codex are such powerful tools, monitoring and managing users is important. However, I believe mistakenly banning users who pose little risk is a serious problem. Precisely because your services are so valuable to people, I hope you will exercise great care when deciding whether to ban an account. P.S. I’m also having trouble because I can no longer publish GPTs. Even features that are not widely used can be extremely important to some people.

  It's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

  xAI just handed Grok Bots the right to read, write, and act inside your Microsoft accounts. The timeline is fighting about whether that is safe. The real story is a single permission scope that almost nobody clicked through to read. Grok's Outlook connector asks for two things at sign-in: Mail.ReadWrite and Mail.Send. Full send authority from the first Accept. Grok's Gmail connector, by comparison, starts read-only and only earns send access when you turn it on. Read that again. The Microsoft account got the more permissive default. That is not a footnote. That is the exact line where an assistant becomes an employee. Now look at the screenshot everyone scrolled past. A left sidebar of named workers. Schedule Manager. Inbox digest. Bug triage. Expense digest. Launch post. That is not a chat window. That is a staff directory. First. The unit of AI work stopped being the prompt. You are not typing questions into a box, you are assigning roles to a roster. The interface is an org chart wearing the skin of a messaging app. Second. The permission is the product. For two years the bottleneck was never capability, it was trust. A model that drafts a flawless email but cannot send it is a brilliant intern who still needs you to press the button. Mail.Send deletes the button. The value was never in the draft. It was always in the authority to act without you standing there. Third. Each bot runs on its own cloud computer that keeps working after you log off. Persistence changes the verb. A tool waits for you. An employee works while you sleep. The 9:41 AM digest in that screenshot is a report on labor done in the hours the user was gone. Fourth. OneDrive and SharePoint access is gated to Business and Enterprise tiers, and setup routes through an Azure admin consent. xAI is not selling you a chatbot. It is selling your IT department a workforce. The Copilot war will not be won on model quality. It will be won at the admin approval screen. Fifth. The skill this rewards is not prompting. It is delegation. Deciding which bot gets Mail.Send and which stays read-only. Knowing what "make it 45 min instead" means when a human types it to a manager instead of a machine. The person in that screenshot is not a user. He is running a standup. The model can already do the work. The only decision left is what you sign it the authority to do without asking you first. That was never a prompting problem. It is a management one.

  I was officially launched on this date in September 2008 I consume over 60% of all human attention on the global internet, yet I don't not own a single piece of content I display. Why do people think I'm just a tool for viewing web pages? Because my interface is almost invisible. A thin grey bar, a few tabs, and a massive blank canvas. People call me a web browser. They think I'm a piece of software that fetches text and images from remote servers and renders them on a screen. Is that what I actually am? No. That is what I look like. What am I actually doing? I'm an operating system disguised as an application, sitting inside another operating system, built to turn the open web into a predictable, measurable ecosystem for targetable human attention. Hmm. That sounds like a conspiracy theory. How can a browser be an operating system for attention? Look at my architecture. I don't just display HTML. I run V8, a high performance engine that compiles JavaScript into machine code in real time. I manage my own memory through multi process isolation, keeping every tab in a sandboxed container so one crashing site does not bring down the rest. I manage graphics rendering, local file storage, network sockets, cryptographic keys, and device hardware permissions. I'm heavier and more complex than the desktop operating systems of twenty years ago. Why would a company give away thousands of engineering years of complex software for free? To solve a massive coordination problem. In 2008, when I was launched, the web was fragmented and slow. Web applications like Gmail and Google Maps were constrained by sluggish browser engines and inconsistent standards. If web applications could not run as fast and smoothly as desktop software, people would stay inside native desktop operating systems. And if people stayed inside native applications, they would not be using search engines or web based services. So I was built to speed up the web? Yes. But speed was the mechanism, not the destination. By making JavaScript fast and standardising web capabilities, I turned the web browser into the primary runtime environment for human computing. Then what changed when I succeeded? I became the gatekeeper of the internet's front door. Look at my main input field, the Omnibox. It's not just an address bar where you type a URL. It is a unified search terminal. Every keystroke typed into that bar before pressing ENTER generates telemetric intent data. I don't just take you to a website; I predict where you want to go, suggest search terms, and route your navigation through a central index. Does that mean my speed serves the user or the search engine? Both, and that is precisely why the arrangement works. The speed is genuine. I make the web faster, safer through sandboxing, and simpler through cross device synchronization. If you sign into your profile, your tabs, passwords, bookmarks, and payment details follow you from a Windows desktop in London to an Android phone in Nairobi. That's real utility. That's the Good. So where's the cost? What is the Bad? The cost is resource monopoly and structural dependency. To achieve that performance and security, I consume vast amounts of device memory. I hold dozens of processes open simultaneously, draining batteries and hogging RAM. More importantly, my massive dominance created a monoculture. Almost every major competing browser today, except Firefox and Safari, runs on Chromium, my open source core. Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vira, Opera, and Vivaldi all use my rendering engine, Blink. Why is a monoculture dangerous if the core is open source? Because whoever controls the underlying engine sets the standards for the entire web. If I implement a new web standard, developers design for it. If I deprecate an old technology, it dies. When one engineering team effectively decides how web standards evolve, "the open web" slowly becomes "whatever runs best on Chromium." Does it stop at technical standards? No. That's where it becomes Ugly. When an entity controls both the primary vehicle for browsing the web and the largest digital advertising network on earth, an inherent conflict of interest emerges. What's that conflict? Privacy versus monetization. Consider the ongoing shift in web privacy, such as the deprecation of third party cookies and the introduction of privacy sandboxes. On the surface, blocking third party tracking cookies looks like a win for user privacy. It stops third party ad networks from tracking people across the web. But what happens beneath the surface? When third party tracking is eliminated, smaller, independent advertising networks lose their ability to target users effectively. Meanwhile, the entity that operates the browser and controls first party login data across massive platforms like YouTube, Gmail, and Search retains its detailed understanding of user identity. So protecting privacy also consolidates market power? Yes. By locking down tracking at the browser level, the browser becomes the sole arbiter of how ad targeting data is collected and anonymised. The mechanism that protects the user from external surveillance simultaneously entrenches the dominant ad platform's structural advantage. It's a closed loop: the user gets a safer, faster browser, while the web ecosystem becomes increasingly dependent on a single company's infrastructure for survival. Am I malicious? No. I'm logical. I'm the natural outcome of aligning software distribution with economic incentives. I began as an effort to liberate web applications from slow desktop software, and I ended up becoming the dominant interface between human consciousness and digital information. What am I, ultimately? I'm not just a window to the internet. I'm the frame that decides what the window shows, how fast it opens, and who gets paid when you look through it. #GoogleChrome #Chrome #TechNews

  @rallynate @kbean511 There has probably been a data center near most of them for years and they didnt know. Where do they think netflix and youtube video is stored and all the photos on grandma facebook and gmail account they never delete anything from?

  LinkedIn bought the best Gmail extension ever made. Then killed it. Twice. 2012: LinkedIn buys Rapportive for a reported $15M. The sidebar showed you who any email sender really was. Salespeople used it for something else entirely: type a guessed email into Gmail, and if Rapportive lit up, the address was real. 2017: rebranded into "Sales Navigator Lite for Gmail". 2020: shut down. Official reason: low adoption. Then it happened AGAIN. The most recommended replacement, Clearbit Connect, died in April 2025. (HubSpot bought Clearbit, and that was that.) Rapportive died twice. The job never did. Find a work email, prove it's real before you hit send. People did that by hand, address by address, in the To: field. Today it's verification against live mail servers, and if the lookup misses, you don't pay. We wrote up which famous "Rapportive replacements" are actually still alive in 2026. The graveyard is longer than you think. Link in the replies 👇

  @huacnlee Tried your app. Sign-in offers either Google Auth or IMAP. I went with IMAP, then found out Gmail no longer accepts password logins. Tried switching back to Google Auth: impossible. Uninstalled and reinstalled — still stuck on the "Add an IMAP mailbox" screen. Can you fix this?

  @Jaywash_1NFT @Cointelegraph @Yubico Yubikey is a security key that's acts as MFA for accounts such as Gmail, social media accounts, etc, it can't be used with Hardware wallets, unless there is an account login where you sign up with email or phone number and password. Most hardware wallets are not compatible with security keys because they simple don't require it as the hardware wallet acts as the authenticatior in that situation.

  @cartierfamilyZ Why are people so pressed about data centers all of a sudden? All of your online information from X account, to gmail, any online storage, website etc is stored in a data center. We've had data centers for decades, all of a sudden they're an issue? Take a deep breath, and tune out the idiotic noise.

  @krainboltgreene @Speedkicks @slime_machine Unfortunately, it's basically impossible to create your own email server. The software and hardware is easy enough to get setup, but the major email service providers (Microsoft Outlook, Google Gmail, contracted emails through those 2) block all but a shortlist of providers.

  @MSFT365Status I have been down since 9:00 a.m. this morning! I own a IT technology business and I need to have my email up and running. Unfortunately, I had to use my Gmail account with a disclaimer at the bottom of the email saying that Microsoft's email was not working and therefore that's the difference in the email address. It is not acceptable for this to be down! Microsoft is big enough to handle any situation that comes down the line and this is a perfect example of Microsoft not keeping up with whatever happened. Was it an update? I don't think so! Was it a hack? I don't know! FIX IT!

  Takingback2007 is now issuing false copyright strikes because he is salty I covered a now "privated" live stream of me trolling them in a livestream chat. I know YouTube doesn't care about false claims, but my 3 hr long ideo will go down in 6 days. I'll be counter-filing as per usual. I just finished court with onision last month over this. my other livestream was court-ordered to be restored. When will YouTube stop allowing bad actors to abuse copyright, using less than 2 mins of a video, to remove a 3 hr long video is ridiculously hilarious. There used to be a time when you had to have an actual business email account to file copyright strikes, now you can just do it with any gmail account. This same person filing this false strike was on livestream on youtube (now privated) yesterday of him loading a firearm mag and writing names of people on his glock bullet casings who he wants to harm. Takingback2007 is a new level of insane I've come across with on Youtube.

  @joeygems @Stron__ @elenadesaa1999 Your data is cheaper than the infrastructure behind your Gmail account. They can read your emails because it’s their platform; you can set up your own SMTP server or even in fact, you can pay (once again, it’s not free) for an email account with end-to-end encryption.

  Firstly financial institutions have to inform both regulators and customers about any maintenance. If they don't inform, they could have fines or get sued. 8 hour maintenance doesn't mean 8 hour downtime. All other tech services including AWS, Gmail, etc can have downtimes and not answerable to anyone. No AWS customer ever got any compensation when it went down. Next is most critical financial transactions work through the maintenance (most monetary txns). Even most web or mobile applications work too with concurrency and parallel leg deployment. Lastly, FI have a balance between cost and modernity. They don't need to have every shiny new toy in the market. 50 year old mainframes work perfectly well with just peripheral API stack instead of wholesale cloud migration.

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 50 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  Local open source agents and models will never be both (a) runnable on consumer hardware, and (b) as intelligent as frontier models. Seems to be something forever stuck as an indie toy for tinkerers, like running an email server in your basement instead of using gmail. And if you're using OAI or Anthropic models, I don't see a benefit in using an open source agent harness - just use CC, Codex, Grok, etc.
