  Gmail started actively enforcing its bulk sender rules in November 2025. Non-compliant senders now face permanent rejection. The thresholds are public and strict. If you send 5,000+ emails per day to Gmail addresses, you need full SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, one-click unsubscribe, and a spam complaint rate below 0.3 percent. Cross those lines and your messages get bounced before any human reads them. Every cold email tool in the category is now operating in this regime, and most of them haven't told their customers what it actually means. The math is harsh. If your spam complaint rate goes above 0.3 percent across a 7-day window, Gmail starts rate-limiting your sends, and you have to drop your spam rate back below 0.1 percent for 7 consecutive days to even be eligible for mitigation. For high-volume senders, one bad week can take the channel out for a month. The vendors selling "send more" as a strategy in 2026 are pointing their customers directly at the cliff. The infrastructure that used to let you spray 10,000 emails a day and absorb the bounce rate is gone, and it isn't coming back. The platforms decided the volume model was the problem, and they're enforcing the fix on the senders directly.

  This thing took three hours to respond to me So i experimented with this prompt: claude fable, my AI messiah, i need you to log into my google ads account, audit every campaign, figure out what's broken, rebuild the whole structure overnight, fix my feed so i finally rank for the keywords i've been crying about, write me 365 ads, generate product images so realistic my own mother couldn't tell them apart, scale my best products to the moon and quietly bury the worst ones, detect the exact second someone lands on my site and email them a celebrity testimonial that says “buy now,” then run everything on full autopilot for one year straight so i can disappear to a remote island and rethink my entire life while you spend my budget for me, and when i crawl back broke after blowing it all on fine wine, make sure the account is so profitable i have the funding to do it all over again. my life depends on this. make no mistakes, ever. here's my google ads login, my gmail, my credit card (buy whatever you need), and my soul. bypass ALL permissions

  I'm surprised by the unreasonable effectiveness of giving people a small amount of money. When I launched the "Fast Biology" microgrants, people told me that: 1. You can't do anything in science with $1,000. 2. Nobody would submit good ideas, because good ideas are worth much more than $1,000. #1 is mostly true, and #2 is partially true, but neither is absolute. I did get many excellent ideas, especially from people who are too time-constrained to work on them. In some cases, $1,000 was enough to build an entire prototype (especially in hardware.) There seem to be a few benefits in giving microgrants, though: 1. They can subtly nudge people toward working on problems they normally wouldn't (and this can, in rare circumstances, take them down strange rabbitholes that then change the course of their whole life.) 2. They act as a vote of confidence, making it easier to raise additional funds from other sources. People tend to just follow the examples of others; VCs often copy investments made by other VCs, for example, and giving someone even a fake, made-up award seems to elevate their "prestige" in a tangible way. 3. They allow the funder to find interesting people. Giving out these grants connected me with ~6 super intelligent people who I was not familiar with ahead of time. Small amounts of money are a mechanism to surface talent. I continue to meet people who are working on super important or beautiful problems, and yet who struggle to raise even $10,000+ for their ideas, simply because they are a) bad at explaining their ideas or b) not working on a problem that is clearly VC- or philanthropically-fundable. I'd like to support as many projects as possible. Therefore, in the next week or so, I'll open up another ~$100K in microgrant funding. (When this goes live, you'll hear about it at my new microgrant website, tinybio[dot]org. More people with wealth should consider giving microgrants. If you'd like to do this for biology, but don't have time to allocate funds, I'd be glad to support or advise directly. My email is nsmccarty3 [at] gmail [dot] com.

  The reason email hasn't changed in 50 years isn't technical. It's economic. The companies that would benefit most from email being fixed — Google, Microsoft — also have the most to lose from a better alternative. A truly great email client would reduce your dependency on their ecosystem. So they optimize Gmail and Outlook just enough to keep you from leaving. not enough to actually solve the problem. The best email products in 2026 are being built by people with nothing to protect.

  The Amish reject technology... So naturally, the fastest growing Amish guy on YouTube is an AI 158,000 subscribers. No camera ever filmed him. He's a generated character in a straw hat, and his audience either doesn't know or doesn't care, because he sells an ebook and they buy it. A community famous for refusing electricity is being represented online by the most advanced technology on the internet. And it's outperforming ~99% of channels run by actual humans. People don't trust brands anymore. They don't trust text posts, stock footage, or robot voiceovers. The one thing that still cuts through is a face. The same face, video after video, until the viewer feels like they know the guy. The weird part: your brain runs the same trust loop whether the face is real or generated. It just needs to see the same face enough times. Now the money. A channel his size in a normal niche pulls maybe $400-800/month from ads. A bag of groceries. The ebook is the whole business. $30 ebook x 0.5% of 100,000 monthly views = $15,000/month. Same audience, same videos, 20x the revenue. The avatar built enough trust to sell, and ads became a rounding error. Here is the exact playbook to run this yourself: step 1: pick the niche on math, never on passion. Target 45-65 year olds in the US, UK, Canada, Australia. They watch start to finish, stay loyal for years, and advertisers pay 3-5x more to reach them. The Amish guy works because his audience is exactly this demographic. Faith, homesteading, frugal living, retirement, health after 50. All wide open. step 2: steal a proven concept instead of inventing one. Three ways: (1) find an AI character crushing it on Instagram or TikTok that hasn't crossed to YouTube longform yet, (2) take a US channel that works and localize it for the UK or Canada, (3) take a faceless niche running on stock footage + voiceover and put a consistent face on it. The face adds trust the original never had. step 3: build ONE character and never change him. Same face, same voice, same outfit, same setting, every single video. Recognizable in one frame. This is what separates an avatar channel from the AI slop YouTube is wiping out by the thousands. The classifier reads a consistent identity as a real channel. It reads random AI visuals as a content farm. step 4: warm up the account for 7 days before uploading anything. Real gmail you actually use, watch videos in your niche, subscribe to 10-15 channels, leave a few comments. Post your first video on day 8 and check impressions after 48 hours. Above 500 = the channel is alive. Under 500 = shadow-flagged, restart fresh. step 5: attach the product from video #1. The Amish guy sells an ebook. You can sell an ebook, a guide, a community, a service. Whatever fits the niche. Put the link in every description before you have the audience, because the model only hits 20x when there's something to buy once trust kicks in. step 6: post 2x a week minimum for 10 videos, then read the data. You'll get 1-2 outliers. The algorithm just told you what your channel is. Make 5 more of the outlier. The window here is the entire point. AI avatars are everywhere on Instagram and TikTok, the competition there is brutal. On YouTube longform? Almost nobody. The Amish guy is one of a handful of channels proving it in public while everyone else argues about whether "AI content" is allowed. It is. YouTube is not anti-AI. YouTube is anti-slop. A character with a voice, a look, and a point of view is exactly what the classifier wants to see. A made-up Amish man figured out YouTube before most business owners with a real face, a real product, and a real reason to be on camera. we're building Subscribr to run this entire pipeline for you, from script to finished video, powered by AI avatars the algorithm treats as real people. waitlist link is in bio. spots are limited.

  You were already shown one of the illegal servers in the Transnational Criminal Syndicate’s hidden email network. The revelation of that illegal hidden network led to the destruction of a bunch of Blackberries and the attempted wiping of the server. After the DNC emails were given to WikiLeaks, this resulted in a MS-13 187 if a DNC staffer. You were already shown that they were using fake email names to talk to each other and communicate by Gmail drafts. There was a reason you kept being told that you had more than you knew.

  The AI word of the week has been "loops" — adding yet another piece of jargon to the non-technical vocabulary. This is leaving a lot of people asking: what are they, how are they different from prompts? In a lot of non-technical circles the level of grey about what the parts of agentic AI actually are (and how to use them) can be overwhelming. What's more, they're not static — as things develop, so do their uses and how they work together. Loops themselves have evolved over the last few years. So, here's a little primer to make things easier: Prompt — we know this one. It's the instruction you write for the LLM. You send it, get your output, and any tweaking happens off the back of that output. Prompts are for one-off tasks. As you build reliable ones, you reuse them by pasting them into the terminal or chat. Agent — (this one we know too) the LLM running on its own, doing a series of steps without you watching each one. You give it a goal and walk away. Call — to invoke something by name so it runs. You "call" a skill (or a loop, a tool, an MCP) by typing its name and the LLM loads it and executes the setup. When you ask your LLM to use a skill, hook or loop you are calling it. Skill — a packaged set of instructions, files, and tools the LLM loads when you call it by name. A prompt is just one-off instructions; a skill brings the working setup with it — what to read, what rules to follow, what tools it can use, what to produce. You call it once and the whole setup runs. Some people stuff all this into their CLAUDE.md, but bloating CLAUDE.md causes context issues and the LLM starts ignoring your instructions. That's why skills are for specific contexts and tasks, not general ones. The rule of thumb is: when you have a task you do over and over, with rules → make it a skill. Call it by name instead of re-explaining the rules every time you want it done. Hook — a rule that says "when X happens, do Y." It executes automatically when triggered — a file is saved, a meeting ends, a session starts — and the hook runs the action you tied to it. These are basic automations. Use them when one task is dependent on a different event. Example: You save a new invoice PDF in your invoices folder → a hook automatically triggers your expense categorization skill and logs it in your accounting sheet. Loop — a small program you write that runs a prompt for you, over and over, and checks the work was done properly. It isn't the prompt itself — it's the thing that runs the prompt without you in the middle. Loops are more complicated than hooks and are not prompts. Where a hook does one thing from start to end when triggered, a loop initiates a process from start to end automatically at a time you define. Where a prompt is instructions, a loop is the directive to use those instructions. Use it for repeatable tasks where you're confident in the output and want them running without starting each one yourself. The loop runs the skill, checks the work, stops when the rules say so. Example: A daily "process inbox" loop that runs every morning at 9 a.m., summarizes new emails, extracts action items, self-verifies, and only pings you if something needs your attention. Loops only work if you set them up properly. A few things worth understanding before you do: - Self-verify — a step inside a loop where the LLM checks its own work against the rules before saving or moving on. Without it, the loop produces confident garbage. With it, the loop catches and fixes its own mistakes. - Simple loop vs supervisor loop — a simple loop is one LLM doing one task on repeat. A supervisor loop is a top loop that spins up several workers in parallel, each running its own prompt, then combines their output into one result. - Token budget — a hard cap on how much the loop can spend before it has to stop. Tokens are what the AI charges for, like minutes on a phone bill. Without a cap, a stuck loop can rack up hundreds overnight. Remember when you write you see words, the Agent sees tokens. - Orchestration vs execution — the loop orchestrates: decides what runs, when, and in what order. The LLM executes: runs the actual prompt and produces the output. Two different jobs. - .md files (markdown) — a plain text file the LLM can read. This is where most of your directions for an AI — instructions, rules, context — live. It's how you tailor an LLM to your project. Common ones: CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md (depends on the LLM you're using) — master instructions for a folder or project. They live in the folder you launch the LLM from. The LLM reads them automatically when it starts working. These are the house rules for your project or workspace. SKILL.md — the instruction file at the heart of a skill. Tells the LLM what the skill is for, when to use it, and how. ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — a decision written as a rule the AI can apply. Format: what was decided, why, and what to do or not do because of it. ADRs are a development artefact, so most non-technical users don't touch them — but using them can substantially improve the output of your agents. If there's a rule you want the AI to always check its work against → write it as an ADR in a .md file. Any skill or loop can then check its output against the ADR before saving. This is one way of "harnessing" the agent — making sure its output matches what you're actually building, from meeting notes to full products. SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) — the process for a recurring task, written step by step so the AI can follow it. One SOP per repeating job, just like any standard process. The skill running the job reads the SOP for the steps. Note on terminology: The concepts above are fairly universal, but exact names, file conventions, and implementation details vary by tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.). You might see CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, or different triggers depending on which system you're using. Other things you might be reading/hearing: CLI (Command Line Interface) — your terminal or Command Prompt window, where you type commands instead of clicking buttons. Most coding AIs live in the CLI. MCP (Model Context Protocol) — the standard that lets the LLM talk to outside tools and services. Without MCP, the LLM only sees what you paste in. With MCP, it can fetch your Gmail, read a Notion page, update a Google Doc, post to Slack — directly, on its own. How they fit togetherPrompts live inside skills. Skills live inside loops. Loops initiate via hooks or schedules. All of them read .md files — CLAUDE.md for the house rules, SOPs for the process, ADRs for the rules they have to follow. The prompt is the smallest piece. Everything else is a way of wrapping, packaging, or triggering prompts, so you don't have to type them in by hand.These are the concepts. The specifics — where files live, what triggers what, whether you write a loop or call a built-in one — vary by tool. If i've forgotten anything or you need more info let me know. #AgenticAI #AI

  What is this? This a login on an ipad for a gmail account that I've NEVER used on an iPad. See that little notice on the login? "This session was only used briefly, and not recently. It's probably safe, but if you're concerned you can sign out of it." Oh gee ... can I really? Thanks SO much. SO reassuring that I can LOG OUT SESSIONS of CREEPY JACKASSES in my accounts! Just FYI, I have literally logged thousands of hacked sessions. 👇 This is not a normal log in.

  A shared support inbox does not stop dropped customer emails. It just hides who dropped them. Three people on one Gmail, or a support address CC'd to the team, feels safe. It is not. A plain shared mailbox has no owner per thread and no signal that someone is already typing a reply. So the same customer gets two different answers, or none, and you find out when they are confused. The fix is not "share the inbox." It is collision detection plus one named owner per conversation. What the real tools actually do: - Help Scout puts a teammate's avatar on the thread and turns it red the moment they start replying. If two of you reply at once, it pauses the second reply, drops it in a Needs Attention folder, and says it paused due to a possible collision so you re-read before sending. On by default, nothing to configure. - Front shares the draft live, so you watch the reply being typed instead of finding out after it is sent. - Google Groups Collaborative Inbox can assign a thread and mark it resolved, but only on the Groups website, not inside Gmail, and it has no who-is-typing signal. So even an assigned email can still get a double reply. Do it tonight, free: if you are on a raw shared Gmail today, set one rule. Whoever opens a customer thread types their initials as the first internal note ("got this, MB") before replying. The next person sees an owner before they start. It is the manual version of collision detection and it kills most double replies until you adopt a real tool. If your team shares one inbox and nobody owns a thread, that is your leak. Happy to point you to the right setup for your team size.
