Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Matt (@mattsaltaccount) reported@JustinBleuel @bonitadreama @ChatGPT Multiple Gmail accounts in the Gmail plugin. It's honestly broken without that. Who only has one Gmail account?
-
Kyle Covan (@kylecovan) reported@XMoney @Support @Premium Need a human to clear the incorrect country flag on my account please so I can complete X Money onboarding. Account country was wrongly set to Barbados (I’ve never been there). I live in Oregon, USA and already updated the setting to United States. I have the Money tab in the sidebar + profile, plus invitations in Gmail. Clicking “Get started” in the email or the Money tab both give the same error: “we are currently only allowing US customers.” Phone support (888-606-9669) collected my SSN and DOB, then told me to use a non-existent “X Money app” and hung up.

Adam (@ajmautomates) reportedSeeing a lot of confusion here on it this is new. The Gmail connector previously could only draft on your behalf. I’m actually more excited by the expanded Google Drive features to update and trash files. I’ve worked around them by making my own MCP server, but it’s nicer to just have it be native now!

Ved (@vedanshchn) reported@Garry153973 @samsheffer @gmail Gmail app works pretty well. What problems do you face? I do want them to let us use the default iOS message/email tunes though.

NKFU! (@nkfu) reported@AayushGTM0 @TeamYouTube My friend, all my channels are linked to a single Gmail and AdSense account. I think that's where the problem lies. Dozens of people are breaking this chain by linking to the same AdSense account with different Gmail addresses, but they're giving me extra penalties. Using different Gmail addresses is ridiculous; a Gmail account can be created in 30 seconds. Also, as far as I know, changing the phone number isn't possible. Or maybe I'm wrong.

Aryan Mahajan (@aryanXmahajan) reportedEvery AI writing tool has the same problem. It writes well. It just does not sound like you. Two years of pasting threads into Claude to fix that. Explain who the person is. Ask for shorter. Ask for warmer. Paste it back into Gmail. Then rewrite the three lines that still are not mine. Lindy put that entire loop inside Gmail. The reply is already written when you open the email, and you change it by saying what you want changed: → No blank page (it is written the way you write, before you get there) → No prompting (one line back to it and the whole draft moves) Two goes and it sounds like me. Not like something writing on my behalf. Every other tool turned me into an editor. This one gets closer every time I correct it. @getlindy

Mike P (@mikepat711) reported@gusiggins “i have this problem where both of my gmail inboxes are so full of **** and i do not want to face cleaning them up. but i'd love to not have thousands of emails in each. do you think there's a way you could go mop them up for me? i don't want to lose old important emails, but there's so much crap in there that i'd love to get out so my inbox isn't packed”

Alessandro Frau (@alessandro_a0) reportedGmail, social accounts, sites that used to block agents: they all work in Agent Zero now. Sign in once, every chat shares your logins. Plus @ tagging for everything, and ACP support so external editors can host A0 directly.

John Siers (@JohnSiers7987) reportedThe scammers are getting better (well, maybe not better but smoother and more polished). Just got an email from a person who claimed to be an executive and senior editor for W. W. Norton -- an actual publishing company based in New York. The email started by praising my latest book (not one I wrote 15 years ago, as so many have done) with enough detail to show familiarity with the content. Funny, though, it sounded like the same kind of glowing praise for my work I get from ChatGPT (wonder if that's what the scammers are using to summarize books). Said they want to talk to me about "my broader body of work and the projects I might currently have underway" and noted that if I have an agent they would "be happy to continue through them." Gee... sounds great, doesn't it? Couple of problems, though. I actually went to Norton's website to see what they publish. It's a broad range of stuff but includes ZERO science fiction or fantasy. Further, Norton must be aware of what's going on because their website has a page warning about publishing scams and advising that any emails from them will come from their email domain -- first thing I checked, as I do with any suspicious emails, and this one didn't. But hey, like I said, smoother than usual -- this one didn't come from gmail or yahoo or any of those, just a domain that was a permutation of the sender's name. It was very nicely written, though, no problems with spelling or grammar, not demanding or promising anything, just a "we like your work; let's talk." It also reeked of AI generation. Like I tell everybody... I have no problem with AI technology, actually think it's pretty awesome. I just don't like the way people are using it.

Conan the Barbarian (@RandomPerson242) reported@mikepat711 I just recently did this too. Gmail had been warning me about nearing my cap. I had the AI purge like 50,000 emails of old obvious garbage. Problem solved. See ya again in 10 years when I'm maybe near the limit again.

Sophia Orthoi (@SophiaOrthoi) reported@hfakos @Alonso_GD Mail can be similar as banking. If you run an email server, gmail classifies mails send from it as spam, even if you comply with their conditions. If you ask them why they do it, you get no answer.

Zen (@itZen00) reportedthree separate systems are scoring your store right now and most operators only watch one of them 1. your payment processor scores you on disputes. cross the threshold and it holds your payouts 2. your inbox provider scores you on spam complaints. cross 0.3% and gmail stops delivering you, calculated daily 3. your marketplace scores you on returns, cancellations and on-time delivery. miss those and TikTok can reserve up to 70% of settled funds none of these is a ban. none of them involves a human deciding you did something wrong. they're all ratios, evaluated continuously, and you cross them without being notified here's the part worth sitting with: all three are downstream of the same upstream cause slow shipping creates item-not-received disputes, which moves number one. it creates frustrated customers who mark your "where is my order" email as spam, which moves number two. and it directly blows your on-time delivery rate, which is number three one operational weakness, three separate scoreboards, and the failure shows up in whichever one is closest to its limit which is why fulfillment speed isn't a customer service line item. it's the single input that every governance system you operate under is quietly measuring fix the parcel and three dashboards improve at once

Faye Xiao (@faye_xiao_) reportedThe spirit of Spirit just sold for $10 million Google is buying Spirit Airlines' data out of bankruptcy. Emails, internal communications, spreadsheets, bookings, frequent flyer and HR records, all de-identified, for $10 million. Judge Sean Lane rules on the sale Wednesday. The obvious read is that Google wants more data. But de-identified data doesn't work for advertising, since you can't target someone you can't name, and Google already sees more airfare information through Google Flights than Spirit ever generated internally. An airline that went under in May is also a strange place to look for pricing wisdom. What's worth buying is the internal material. The emails and the spreadsheets they reference record how work moved through the company: a question gets asked, a document gets built, a decision gets made, a system gets updated. Consumer text is everywhere, and records of how an organization actually functions are not, which is what you need if you want models that operate inside workflows rather than talk about them. Google's own statement uses the word enterprise, and the runner-up bid of $7.5 million came from Mercor, a company whose entire business is sourcing training data for AI labs. When the second bidder isn't another airline, the market has told you what was being priced. The strange part is that Google isn't short on this data at all. It runs Gmail and Workspace and sits on possibly the largest collection of business correspondence in the world, and it has promised enterprise customers it will not train on their content, which is not a promise it can quietly break. So it has the material and no permission to use it. What $10 million buys is clean title, a court approved dataset nobody can sue over, at a moment when everyone else is defending scraping claims. Dead companies can agree to things live ones can't. Any of this is worth paying for because the public supply is running down. Epoch AI's 2024 analysis put the stock of quality public human text at roughly 300 trillion tokens and projected it would be consumed between 2026 and 2032, a window that opens this year, and access has closed faster since than the arithmetic alone suggests. A census of the top 100,000 domains this July found 19.1% blocking at least one AI crawler, and in September Cloudflare begins blocking mixed use crawlers by default across its entire free tier. Private operational records are the obvious next reserve, and they are almost untouched. Epoch left them out of its estimate because private data is fragmented and legally too messy to use at scale, which is precisely the condition a bankruptcy court removes. That makes Wednesday's ruling more interesting than the sale. If it goes through, every bankruptcy from here has a new asset to offer, and the value will depend on how well documented the industry already is. A corner store has nothing worth buying, since you can watch how it works from the sidewalk. A hospital or a law firm is the opposite, because even with names removed the record shows how a case moves through the organization, who escalates what to whom, and which exceptions get made. That knowledge lives in internal systems and in people's heads and appears nowhere public. The catch is that the supply is biased toward failure, since no healthy company would sell its internal record, so every dataset that reaches the market comes from an operation that didn't work. That's useful for learning how a process runs, and much less useful for learning what good judgment looks like.

Liz Churchill (@liz_churchill10) reported‘Covid Science’ that was so ‘gold standard’…they had to hide it because they knew they’d be in ‘trouble’… “I forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble”
