  @TeamYouTube I need technical help. My newly created Gmail account (used for AdSense) was suspended by Google and has now been successfully appealed/restored. However, my YT channel's Step 2 is still stuck on "Error" with no button to reconnect or fix. Please Help!

  Gmail contains the 2FA keys to my entire life and keeps me logged in indefinitely. United rents me a chair in the sky, redeemable only with government ID, and logs me out every 30 seconds like Economy Plus is an NSA server.

  Google's Gmail integration reveals AI personalization's real consent problem The feature is called Personal Intelligence. The controversy it triggered is about something older and harder to fix. A social media post viewed over 6.5 million times exposed what many users hadn't noticed: automatically opted in to allow Gmail to access private messages to train AI models. Google's response: no policies changed, Gmail content isn't used to train Gemini. Both things can be technically true. Neither one resolved the problem. The actual issue isn't what Google is doing. It's that most users have no accurate mental model of what's happening to their data at any given moment. Personal Intelligence routes existing stored data into AI responses. From a policy standpoint, that's a meaningful distinction. From a user's standpoint, the line between "Google has my email" and "Google's AI is actively reading my email to answer my questions" feels like a different thing entirely. To fully escape AI scanning, users must disable three separate features buried across different menus. The opt-out exists. Finding it requires more technical literacy than most users have. The default state effectively becomes the permanent state for 1.8 billion Gmail users. Users in the EU, UK, and Japan have these features disabled by default. That gap is not an accident. It's regulatory arbitrage in practice. Every AI assistant that gets genuinely useful is one that knows more about you. The usefulness and the privacy exposure scale together. The question the industry hasn't answered is whether meaningful consent is possible at this level of data integration, or whether "opt-in" has become a word that describes a checkbox and nothing more.

  @sinnformer @AnthropicAI i'm surprised you haven't already ran into trouble when my boss wanted to give claude access to a separate gmail account for media contacts, anthropic converted her account into a google SSO account under that email and revoked all her auths and org api tokens i assumed the same would be true of any other 'connector' that could serve as an SSO tbh

  the myth: you need gmail/google accounts to get good deliverability. here's what's actually true: google accounts deliver well. nobody disputes that. the problem is cost structure, not performance. if you're running proper cold outreach at scale, google accounts with separate domains will cost you meaningfully more per inbox per month than outlook/azure accounts running equivalent volume. and you still need to buy the domains either way. outlook and azure inboxes, when properly warmed and configured, deliver to primary at comparable rates. the deliverability gap between properly set up outlook infrastructure and properly set up google infrastructure is smaller than most people assume, and significantly smaller than the cost gap. the people pushing google-only are often either: a) not running the volumes where cost per inbox actually matters, or b) selling google workspace setup services the real question isn't gmail vs outlook. it's: is your infrastructure correctly configured regardless of which provider you use? SPF aligned. DKIM signing active. DMARC set. warmup completed. volume within earned reputation. list hygiene maintained. all of that matters more than your inbox provider. by a significant margin. don't let the provider debate distract you from the fundamentals that actually determine where you land.

  @gregisenberg 99% of SMBs will never be structured for agents. They run on QuickBooks, Gmail threads, and tribal knowledge. That's not a bug to fix — it's the actual market. Build agents that work despite the mess.

  @LizzieTao @gmail Well, I would like to see some automations directly in Gmail. Everybody who pays some SaaS or has a fancy agent set up can send automated emails anyway but they are usually spammy and terrible. Why not make actually good automated emails powered by Gemini that create value for all parties? I see a future where my Gmail agent sends another Gmail agent an email and they find a business synergy between my company and another company based on data and facts. The people just sign off the deal and then Gemini integrates our platforms and builds the feature. I’d love that future.

  @reach_vb I logged in my gmail on the in-built browser and asked it to resolve a double debit on my credit card from an insurer. It looked up the history of mails for older unresolved ticket. Drafted mails and added proper attachments for both the insurer and the cc company. The issue which hadn't been resolved for more than a month got resolved in a day. Looks like i won't be using chrome much in the future.

  @high_byte grep /gmail /mongodb internally calls the search api to search the whole data base. So it’s relatively slow and I set some search limit to avoid return too much value to AI agents

  found this crazy design situation in Alphabet Google Gmail web services. I was looking up in my Gmail for a receipt and was not able to find it. Gmail is designed to automatically look up the keyword as "if the email itself has the words." it created two huge design problems. one: automatic read and system write operations as a services. meaning anything in the body and header is questionable and forced to be watched by security. two: i can never trust my ID because businesses are not restricted embedding my ID in the body or headers and Gmail doesn't tell me or warn me that my contact info was found to be controlled by a company. put it into perspective. I send you an email, with embedded image of a receipt and it contains your contact info. the system can not read what the image is and you can not tell me to stop tracking my ID. the fact is, embedding is a corporate tool used to secure, safe guard, and drive employee and company powers over the customers product or services sale. customers are powerless to ask companies to respect my way of doing business. if someone decides to deceive the reality is, to me, this was premeditated due to norms that everyone and all is grouped in Untrusted and debanked theories of abuse. in a sense, guilty, of a crime, which was thought of, and had not happened yet, suggesting it will. how horrific is that to have to live around crime and be managed so that I couldn't escape it because it was that someone already predicted my ability because of my position as being in the demographics, economy, orientation, process, of state of mind. I do not know how to deal with this fact that I found my personal info has to be written and not embedded as to allow me, the consumer, control over my data.

  @Earth_1729 @drummatick **Advanced spam ML & search in Gmail require massive server-side compute**—Google runs this across global data centers with huge clusters of CPUs/TPUs. They process ~15B+ unwanted messages daily (blocking 99.9%+ spam/phishing) for 1.8B users, using ML trained on billions of emails + user feedback for real-time pattern detection. Search indexes petabytes of data with instant full-text queries and updates. A single email's inference is lightweight, but the scale, training, and global coordination make it impossible client-side. That's why servers do the heavy lifting.

  During all of the Podesta emails scandal it was discovered that many people used the same gmail account. Each would log in, respond to an email and save it in drafts. The next person would login, respond and save it in the 'Drafts' folder.' They thought that was pretty slick

  Synta search data is showing where automation demand is leaking. Last week’s top internal searches: Slack: 87 Gmail: 63 Drive: 39 Webhook: 35 HTTP: 33 Sheets: 33 That is not a tool list. It is a map of workflows people keep failing to connect. The expensive pattern usually looks like this: Slack has the decision. Gmail has the customer request. Drive has the file. Sheets has the source of truth. A webhook or HTTP call is the bridge nobody wants to own. If you sell automation, start there. Do not ask “what AI agent do you want?” Ask: 1. Which app holds the request? 2. Which app holds the record? 3. Which human copies between them? 4. How many times does that happen each week? 5. What breaks when the copy is late or wrong? A 4-minute handoff running 300 times/month is 20 hours/month before errors. At £25/hour, that is £500/month of admin drag sitting inside one boring integration. The best workflow offers usually come from the apps people already search for. Slack to Gmail. Gmail to Sheets. Drive to CRM. Form to webhook. Webhook to owner review. Find the repeated bridge. Name the owner. Add the fallback. Store proof it ran. That is where the build becomes worth paying for.

  @browser_use session isolation > CDP-readability. one logged-in profile shared across agents = next agent inherits gmail/stripe/aws auth. per-task cookie jar declared upfront — same scope-flag pattern as fs mounts. stealth fixes anti-bot, doesn't fix the cross-task auth bleed.

  If you are drowning in tender documents every week, steal this Claude + Gmail formula: Tenders sitting in your inbox. Unopened. Unsorted. Forgotten. Here is what I built in 30 minutes: A Claude + Gmail + Airtable setup that reads every tender email, pulls the key data, and writes it straight into a CRM. Project name. Deadline. Scope summary. All there. Set it to run weekly. No manual entry. No missed tenders. No inbox chaos. Here's why this works: → Tender tracking is the first thing that breaks when a team gets busy → Missing a deadline because it got buried in email is a revenue problem, not a workflow problem → The setup connects tools you already use. Gmail and Airtable. Claude is the bridge. → 30 minutes to build. It runs itself after that. The firm down the street is not sorting their inbox by hand anymore. Are you still doing it manually? Comment TENDER and I will show you exactly how to build this. PS: Your next project is already sitting in your inbox. The question is whether you find it before the deadline passes. #construction #AI

  VTuber Research Club (@The_VTRC) reported 47 minutes ago

  An update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

  @IsaacKing314 1) so yeah, this is a weird quirk of dmarc. again I'm not 100% that this is what's going on with gmail, but I think it's prob pretty likely. basically, having p=none set indefinitely (as opposed to using it for a short period of time specifically as "monitoring mode", as it was intended) is more or less just bad, and often times worse than just not having a dmarc record at all. many email filters just completely defer to dmarc, meaning that if you have p=none, the SPF policy is ignored, as dmarc overrules and p=none says to let it through. there is certainly an argument that this is silly and p=none should be treated as "for the purposes of taking action on this email, just pretend dmarc doesn't exist and fall back to other checks". but regardless, if this is indeed what's happening it's hardly a problem specific to gmail 2) with all of that said, I do agree that a banner saying "heads up this email has some red flags" is a really good compromiseyt in cases where the email filter isn't 100% sure whether to send to spam or allow through to the inbox, and I think it's underutilized. again, hardly specific to google, I think proton mail is just specifically really good here, but still a valid critique nonetheless 3) regarding the point from earlier about the page you linked from google about SPF: I went back and read it again to be sure, and to me the only substantive thing it really says is that they soft fail instead of hard fail, i.e. they lean towards sending to spam rather than outright blocking. that's why my response was primarily focused on that aspect. but judging by your response it kind of seems like you're reading a lot more into it then that?
