  "I'm too late to ecom" was a weak excuse in 2019 and it's embarrassing in 2026. People have been saying the market is saturated for as long as the market has existed. Meanwhile brands launch every month and get to real money inside a year, selling things that already have 40 competitors. Being early was never the advantage anyone thinks it was. "Early" means you're paying to teach a market what your product is, with nobody to copy and no proof that people want it. "Late" means the demand is there, the playbook is public, and your job is to be better at execution than people who got comfortable. Of course, there are cases where you want to be first, but unless you actually know what you're doing... Choose the 2nd one. When I sold a retro console, it wasn't a new idea. Other people were already selling it, and it worked anyway, because most competitors are worse than they look from the outside. Their shipping is slow, their product page oversells, and their support is a Gmail somebody checks on Sundays. + People really liked it, so much so it got the attention of Nintendo and they emailed me to shut it down. Point is, you don't need a category nobody has touched. You need a product people already buy and a business that doesn't fall apart the moment volume shows up. The guys still waiting for the next untapped thing will say the same sentence in 2029. Lmao.

  @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.

  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.

  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.

  Claude can now run your Mac in the background while you do something else, and that quietly ends the debate about whether AI agents need your full attention. Everyone assumed autonomous computer control meant giving up your screen, watching a cursor move while you wait. That assumption is wrong now, at least on macOS 15. Sonnet 4.6 scores 72.5% on OSWorld, up from under 15% when computer use first shipped in late 2024. Two years took the model from novelty to something close to reliable. Yes, it's Pro and Max only, macOS only, still marked research preview. None of that changes the direction, it only changes the rollout schedule. This isn't a new feature, it's a shift in where automation lives. For a decade we treated automation as an API problem. Now the interface itself is the integration layer. Give it three years and clicking through a UI will be the fallback path, not the exception, for every agent that lacks a direct connector. Connectors like Slack and Gmail stop being the main event and become a shortcut Claude reaches for first, before it falls back to acting like you would. Engineers who spent years building bespoke API integrations are about to watch screen control eat a chunk of that work. Multitasking on a Mac just got a second set of hands, and most people haven't noticed yet.

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  @blessedby__ @GoogleWorkspace @Em0517561932234 imo this would make the implication even worse. Gmail forces ‘Gemini Flows’ and automation down my throat constantly, yet they don’t use their own tech? Seems dumb for one of the biggest AI companies in the world to have a standardized reply that’s completely irrelevant, instead of y’know, using their technology to automate a relevant reply.

  @Zoom Oh! I remember the other problem. The "send a code" button is super slow. Yes, I checked my spam folder. Took several minutes to come through. To a gmail domain. It also produces a captcha error every time you click the button even after you've already clicked the captcha.

  @AMoser_E @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail If you make a Proton account, and sink Gmail to it. Pick at it. Don't make it a chore. A couple of accounts at a time, or one, or binge it. Whatever. It is possible to degoogle yourself. I degoogled and deMicrosofted myself. I am fully on Linux (Mint), and on Calyx OS for phone. Slow and steady wins the race friend.

  My Gmail accounts have been compromised, and the recovery process is currently underway. Please be careful and do not trust or respond to any emails, messages, videos, posts, links, or other content that may be sent, uploaded, or shared through my accounts including YouTubes, Facebook's and other SMs during this period. Any such content is not under my control and should not be considered authorized or endorsed by me. I will issue an update as soon as I regain full control of my accounts.

  @stelzner_n1150 This has to be the stupidest comment ever sorry. 100% of cell phones, smart phones, cable boxes, electric meters, computer usage and email GOES THROUGH DATA centers and always has! Here are the facts: That claim is backwards. The internet and smartphones have always run on data centers (or the same thing under older names: server rooms, colo, hosting farms). What changed is the size, location, and branding — not whether the machines exist. The internet never ran without servers Commercial internet use took off in the early 1990s. From day one it needed: ISP modem banks and backbone routers Web/email/DNS servers Co-location and hosting facilities Those are data centers. Exodus, AboveNet, Equinix, and telco “carrier hotels” were already packing raised-floor rooms with racks in the mid-to-late 1990s. Google’s first big custom plants and Amazon’s early AWS rooms were 2000s expansions of that model, not a new species of building. You could run a static homepage off a PC in a closet. You could not run search, streaming, maps, payments, or “the internet” as people actually used it. Smartphones made the dependence worse, not optional The iPhone shipped in 2007. A phone is a thin client. Almost everything people treat as “the phone” lives off-device: iCloud / Google account sync Maps and traffic App Store / Play Store Gmail, Photos, Drive Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify Siri / Assistant Banking and payments That traffic hits someone’s data center. If those rooms went dark, the glass slab in your pocket would still make calls on a good day and not much else. Twenty years of smartphones is twenty years of more backend compute, not twenty years without it.

  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.

  An imported automation will not just run, and that is not a broken template. Every one of them needs your own accounts connected before it does anything. Your Gmail, your Notion, your Drive. The workflow is the wiring. It is not the electricity. Most people import one, hit the first credential error, decide the tool is broken, and never open it again. That error is the normal first step. It is the workflow telling you exactly which account it wants.

  Ima let you finish, but... DON'T USE Gmail. Use Protonmail with dual encryption 2 passwords to get into your email + an authenticator key 🔑 or authy app. No idea why more email providers don't use the same model. But very few others allow for the dual login requirement of 2 passwords. If you have to use 2 emails use Protonmail address as your ultimate recovery email for Gmail or Whatever your second email is. Don't add phone authentication Sim swapping is EZ for a social engineer.

  Unsubscribe is them walking out. Spam is them telling the building you're a problem. Unsub hurts a dashboard. Spam hurts the next 10,000 people. Keep blasting people who already wanted out and Gmail starts taking their side. One-click leave. Stop mailing people who never wanted this cadence. I'd rather they walk out than burn the building.
