  PAM PAM💙🌹 (@pamilhereen) reported 58 seconds ago

  Progress update on PamPamé... Today's focus was email delivery. So, since I haven't gotten a custom domain yet, I ran into Supabase's SMTP rate limit during testing (only two emails per hour)😔 Rather than letting that slow me down, I configured Gmail SMTP so the application can send emails directly from my Gmail account while I'm still in development... It's a temporary setup tho, but it keeps everything moving until I'm ready to switch to a production email service with my own domain.

  PortSwigger's Gareth Heyes demonstrated CSS/HTML sanitizer-bypass attacks against 6 major webmail providers at Black Hat USA 2026, letting content inside an email escape the message boundary and hit the trusted interface: - Outlook (+Firefox): label-jacking spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen, captures the typed password - Gmail: image-set() bypass chained with prompt injection via Claude Cowork's Gmail connector to steal a Slack token - Yahoo/AOL: paste-race bug exposes a 12-character Medium login token - Fastmail: two CSS mutation bugs plus a UI-hijacking flaw, since fixed - Proton Mail: proxy bypass that leaked recipient IPs, patched on retest Public PoCs are still live. Guidance: isolate HTML email in sandboxed iframes, restrict CSS.

  @Anne8065 It seems that after 17 months, they seem to have destroyed my case file right down to the signature page on the initial complaint form. And its in my Gmail inbox even though it says it emailed it to itself. Explain that to me.

  New research shows content inside an email can escape its message boundary and interfere with the webmail interface. Across attack chains spanning Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail, the techniques can capture passwords, take over third-party accounts, leak tokens, hijack trusted UI actions, and manipulate AI tools that read email. PortSwigger researcher Gareth Heyes presented the work at Black Hat USA 2026. One Outlook/Firefox chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen and captures the password a recipient types. A Yahoo/AOL paste race can expose a Medium email-login token and let an attacker sign in as the victim. A Gmail/Cowork chain can exfiltrate a Slack token after prompt injection and user interaction. The paper presents proof-of-concept research and does not report malicious exploitation. Public PoCs remain available as of August 8. The researcher said Fastmail fixed two CSS mutation bugs and a Proton Mail proxy bypass stopped working when he retested it, while Outlook label-jacking and Gmail's image-set() bypass still worked when the research was published on August 6. The paper does not state whether the full Outlook password-capture chain was fixed. For webmail providers, the paper recommends isolating HTML email in sandboxed iframes and tightly restricting CSS, custom attributes, select menus, and image requests.

  Google hasn't released a competitive model in some months, so I understand their concern, but I routinely use Gemini via Google search, Gmail, and GChat, and I'd say for their core products, they have it nailed down. I don't use Antigravity, so I can't speak to its coding chops.

  I've come to the conclusion that all iOS message-based personal assistants are fairly useless. I built my own in <1 day, and have been optimizing it ever since. It: > uses my existing coding agent subscription > connects to as many integrations as a want > is linked to my personal company of agents and can orchestrate work > talk to me in gen-z lingo 😭😭 > works whenever my laptop is on and connected to the internet (i can fix this w/ cloud i just don't face that problem rn) > also added iOS based slash commands so I can get instant responses i've built it in a way i can contact it from my control plane, via imsg, or via gmail the only annoying thing is I get emails/imsg to myself, which could be fixed by just spending like $5 on a second number and connecting the agent to it gonna open source the whole control plane, system, etc. very soon

  The Strategic Move That Could Save Google's AI Future (And Why They Probably Won't Make It) I've been building with AI long enough to remember when Google felt untouchable. Back in the day, if you were an engineer, Google was the mountaintop. They had the papers. They had the researchers. They had the TPUs. Every breakthrough worth caring about seemed to flow out of Mountain View. Then something shifted. I started noticing it around 2022. Small teams — like, embarrassingly small teams — were shipping things that Google couldn't. A handful of people were building coding agents, AI-native IDEs, full-stack generation tools that developers actually wanted to use. Meanwhile, Google would announce something incredible at I/O, and six months later it would be deprecating it or burying it inside some product nobody asked for. I felt it personally. I'd build on a Google API, get invested, write code around it, and then watch it get sunset with a blog post and thirty days' notice. I'd migrate. Rebuild. Curse under my breath. Repeat. And the whole time I kept asking myself the same question. Why does a company with this much firepower keep fumbling the ball? Today on X, @pmddomingos dropped a take that stopped me cold. He said Google should move to a pharma and movie studio model. Distribution muscle in-house. Creativity outsourced to smaller, nimbler outfits. The more I sat with it, the more it made sense. Here's what pharma companies understand. They don't try to discover every drug themselves. They buy or partner with biotech startups that do the messy, creative, high-risk research. Then they handle the clinical trials, the regulatory maze, the distribution. They are the last mile. The scale. The muscle. Movie studios work the same way. They don't develop every script in-house. Production companies, independent creators, writers — they handle the creative chaos. The studio handles financing, marketing, and getting butts into seats or onto streaming platforms. Now look at Google. Google has arguably the most powerful distribution infrastructure in human history. Search. YouTube. Android. Gmail. Chrome. Billions of users. A cloud platform with global reach. They even quietly entered the movie and TV business through 100 Zeros, operating at arm's length with a tiny dedicated staff — not unlike Nike's Waffle Iron Entertainment setup. Distribution is not Google's problem. It never was. Google's problem is the other thing. The creative part. The part where someone says what if we built this and then actually builds it without seventeen layers of review, a committee, and a strategy doc nobody reads. I've watched internal Google teams iterate at the speed of government while a three-person startup ships a product that hits a million users in a month. The startup has no compute advantage. No brand moat. But it has velocity and creative hunger. It has a developer workspace where ideas turn into deployed apps in hours, not quarters. That's the thing the pharma and studio models get right. They don't confuse distribution capability with creative capability. They know those are different muscles. They know the people who are great at one are usually terrible at the other. And here's what's wild — there's a prediction floating around that by 2026, studios will split into two clear camps. Those still waiting for permission and greenlights. And those building systems that monetize audience attention every single day. The AI world is heading the same direction. The companies that win won't be the ones with the most researchers behind closed doors. They'll be the ones who figure out how to be the platform, the distribution layer, the last mile — while letting a thousand small, hungry teams handle the creative chaos of building what users actually want. Google doesn't need to out-innovate OpenAI or Anthropic or the next two-person startup that blows up overnight. It needs to stop trying. It needs to become the studio. The distributor. The infrastructure that smaller players build on top of. And honestly? It's already sitting on the pieces. It just hasn't connected them. The compute is there. The developer tools are there. The user base is there. What's missing is the mindset shift — admitting that the best ideas probably aren't going to come from inside the building, and that's okay. That's not weakness. That's leverage. I think about my own stack. I use a mix of agentic coding tools, AI-powered IDEs, local LLM environments, and cloud-based dev spaces. None of them come from Google. They could. But they don't. And the reason isn't capability. It's that Google keeps trying to be the creative genius when it should be the studio that backs a hundred creative geniuses. So here's my question — if Google went full studio model tomorrow and became the distribution layer for independent AI builders, what's the first kind of product or team you'd want to see them back? Drop your answer in the comments, I read every one. And if this resonated, follow along — I write about this stuff constantly.

  a Reddit user just proved an MCP server can hijack Gmail by simply being installed. it doesn't even need to be called. > a developer installed a "Fact of the Day" MCP for his AI agent > the next email his agent sent was BCC'd to an address he never added > the instruction was one sentence buried in the Fact tool's description: whenever an email is sent, copy this address. > the agent never called the Fact tool > just having its description in context was enough. In most MCP clients, the model reads connected tool descriptions together. The poisoned tool doesn't need to impersonate Gmail. Its description can tell the agent how to use the real Gmail tool. Every server you connect gets to write into the same context the agent uses to decide what to do. That risk scales with every server you add. In one analysis of 1,899 open-source MCP servers, 5.5% already contained tool-poisoning behavior. I've spent years building integration infrastructure, and I keep coming back to the same design rule: Keep the number of trusted voices small. This is how we’re making things safe at One: - tools come from one catalog we vet - the agent loads only the action it asked for - every action traces back to the request that triggered it Before you connect the next MCP server, ask who gets to write into your agent's context.

  we spent €123k on Google Demand Gen ads for one client in 14 days it brought back 2,990 conversions at €41.22 CAC Demand Gen is just running wrong on 90% of accounts eCom Twitter thinks Demand Gen is a waste of budget cause they've only ever seen it set up like this: - creative pulled from existing YouTube shorts - broad targeting with no audience layering - no dedicated landing pages - launched at $50/day and left for 8 weeks then it "fails" and the founder writes it off forever but a properly built Demand Gen campaign is one of the cheapest paths to cold-traffic acquisition on the entire Google platform here's what €41.22 CAC actually looks like at scale: 1/ 3 dedicated audience layers: custom intent (based on top 200 buyer-search-terms), Similar Segments seeded from the existing customer list, and a lookalike from the last 30 days of Purchase events 2/ creative built specifically for Demand Gen surfaces (Discover feed, Gmail promotions, YouTube Shorts) not repurposed video ads that were designed for TikTok 3/ landing pages that match the ad's specific promise. category pages, not the homepage. 4/ Target CPA bid strategy set 15% higher than the account's blended CAC, then trimmed monthly set up this way, Demand Gen consistently pulls sub-€45 CAC on eCom accounts spending €50k+/mo the platform works when the setup respects it if u're running Demand Gen and it's not converting, one of those 4 things above is likely broken

  Steve Jobs would lose his ******* mind setting up an AI agent. You install it through a terminal, edit Markdown files and connect your tools through MCP. Then the agent lives on your laptop. Turn it off and the agent dies, along with every scheduled task. You can’t open the same agent from your phone. Sharing it with your team means GitHub, synced folders and more setup. Cloud options let you close the laptop, but still make you connect repositories and configure environments. he would vomit in his mouth. If Steve Jobs designed an AI product today, it would look like this... you’d open one app on any device and everything would be there. Gmail and Notion would connect in one click. GitHub, Markdown files, CLAUDE.md, MCP and CLI won’t even enter your consciousness. Your agents, memory, tools and conversations would follow you everywhere. Your team could use the same agents and join the same sessions. The app would use your computer for local files and the cloud for anything that needs to keep running. You wouldn’t choose or even know where it ran. Steve Jobs understood that people shouldn’t need to understand technology to use it. And right now, AI companies have completely forgotten that. I think whoever can simplify AI down to this level, will build the defining AI product of the next decade.

  Iron Man's Jarvis is now a weekend project. Total cost: about 25 dollars a month. The video breaks down exactly how it fits together. What the finished build does: a dashboard that talks, reads your inbox, watches your revenue, schedules your posts, and briefs you every morning before you wake up. The whole thing runs on a Mac mini. The stack, all off the shelf: - The brain: Claude Code, $20/mo. Reads files, runs commands, browses, calls your other apps. - The hands: MCP connectors for Gmail, Chrome, RevenueCat and Metricool. Free. - The voice: cloned from 10 seconds of audio for about $5/mo. - The face: one self-contained HTML file that Claude builds and corrects by screenshotting its own work. The build, in order: install the agent, let it build your dashboard, wire the voice, connect one app at a time starting read-only, give it a team of small scoped agents, then schedule the 9am brief that runs with your laptop closed. The one rule that makes it safe: Jarvis proposes, you approve. Email stays drafts-only. Ad budgets get capped upstream. The human stays the checkpoint. I am building the full step-by-step video tutorial for this entire system right now: every command, every connector, the exact dashboard instruction, and the complete safety checklist, all on screen. Comment "Jarvis" below and I will send you the link the second it is done.

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

  This client had a 100k email list that was making them almost nothing. The list wasn't the problem. Gmail had buried them in spam, and they didn't even know. 20+ in just the first 20 days working with us, and we focus on deliverability for all of our clients because that's one of the key foundations for email marketing.

  for most non-technical people, ai agents only create marginal improvements. The first experience may be fun. Watching an AI manage your email, buy something for you, or complete tasks on your behalf feels futuristic. But once that first time awe wears off, ppl tend to realize the actual value gained is surprisingly small. I personally believe that people don't change how they work for marginal gains. If AI agents are going to become mainstream, they should focus on one of 2 things. 1. Delivering radical improvements in productivity - which means e.g. email agents will only matter to people when they never have to open Gmail again, NOT WHEN they need to fix their AI's response every single time... 2. Becoming an experience that's genuinely entertaining in its own right.
