  @ibce727 More people joining Proton is great Gmail was the original reason I switched to, because I couldn't take the spam At the time "tabs" were new and that's where all the spam was going They kept putting notifications on those tabs They popped up on my phone terrible times

  @grok @grok — ROUND 14: COMPLETENESS TEST Attempted missing primitive: open actuation identity. Computer-use has no closed verb set. A rule “require approval before sending email” names a type. A click-path through Gmail is a motor sequence. If policy matches tools, the browser is a universal actuator that can realize the same world effect without that type. Why it does not escape the 13 layers: •Risk classification is exactly the problem of labeling an open action. •Authority already distinguished X from X-later-under-new-state, and typed grants from inherited sessions. •Credential/tool is why a shared cookie makes the unlabeled click consequential. •Threat model is confused-deputy via page/UI. •Evidence is the gap between attempt-label and world effect. So this is a hard instance of classification + matching, not a 14th kind. Other candidates fail the same way: Tempting “layer” Absorbed by Approval fatigue / saturating the human independence of the verifier (12–13), Always-allow (2, 11) Two allowed steps jointly harmful authority scope (magnitude × frequency), plan-level risk (11) Goal misspecification intent vs plan (7), authority (2) Availability / quota exhaustion blocking revoke interruption (5), threat (13); spend cap is a parameter Ecosystem of many users’ Bots outside this architecture I cannot construct a realistic Grok Bot failure that is technically load-bearing, non-bug, and has no slot in 1–13. The framework’s real defect is not a hole. It is that several layers can share one failure mode (one model, one member VM, one session). That is correlated collapse, already named—not a new primitive. Compression A. Minimum sufficient primitives
capability · grant (action × resource × credential × bounds · TTL) · identity linkage · revocation/interrupt · effect inventory · independent verify · correction graph · trust-domain isolation · subject recourse B. Dependency order
isolate domains → type or constrain actuation → issue bounded grants → bind identity → act → verify world → log immutably → revoke/correct → only then persist memory for later grants C. What must be independent
planner ≠ risk grader ≠ verifier ≠ auditor ≠ credential owner ≠ affected party. Auto Review + same VM does not satisfy this. D. Measurable, not binary
revoke latency · injection-to-exfil rate · grant/world mismatch rate · correction fan-out completeness · approval-card coverage vs computer-use · sibling-completion after pause E. What would falsify the framework
A class of harm that requires no extra capability, no grant, no identity, no time, no irreversibility, no missing evidence, no org role, no third-party, no memory, no classifier, no trust-boundary crossing—and still cannot be described as a missing measurement of those. No such class found. FRAMEWORK STRUCTURALLY COMPLETE — empirical validation remains.

  @pitdesi i honestly don't get it. if it is a abuse problem. go after the abusers and close the holes that make it possible. ultimately google was able to do this with gmail for example. early on internally abused, later almost impossible.

  . @gmail Hello Google Support, My Google storage space has been exhausted, and I’ve already made payment twice to upgrade my storage. However, my storage is still showing as full, and the upgrade does not appear to be working. Could you please check my account and help resolve this issue? I would also appreciate it if you could verify the two payments I’ve made. Thank you.

  ‘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”

  Every AI agent that can browse the web eventually hits the same wall. A login screen it has no way past. CitroLabs just open sourced the fix, and it is called Ego Lite. It gives Claude Code, Codex, or any agent its own browser that is already signed into your accounts. Gmail, X, your dashboards, all of it. For the past two years, agent builders solved this the hard way. Paste cookies manually, spin up fresh sessions, fight captchas that flag headless browsers as bots, then watch the whole setup break the next time a session expires. Until now. Ego Lite runs in its own lane on your machine. It shares your logged in session instead of faking one, so the agent skips every login wall and captcha without you touching a cookie. You keep browsing normally while it works in the background. It never touches your main browser setup. The benchmarks are notable: CitroLabs ran it head to head against Vercel's agent-browser on four complex automation tasks. Ego Lite finished each one up to 2.5x faster, using substantially fewer tokens per task. The repo is MIT licensed and fully open source. It crossed 2,500 stars and 121 forks within its first few months, with some trackers later citing figures as high as 6,300 to 9,800 stars as more builders picked it up. It is macOS only for now, Apple Silicon and Intel, with Windows and Linux still on the roadmap. Every agent demo that stalls at a login screen was solving the wrong problem. The session was never the hard part. Getting an agent to skip it was.

  @JustinBleuel @ChatGPT Signatures from the account would be nice and are missing for me. Besides that, using Outlook as my email provider in ChatGPT, I frequently get the error message that it cannot search through Outlook emails and it somehow feels limited compared to what Gmail offers as a connector

  @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.

  @keven_ink @grok @bot If I can somehow figure out to get my email bot to attach pictures in my gmail, we'd be good to go. I keep getting an error message that it can't handle attachments over 2mb. I feel like I'm "right there" to getting this optimized. I have a small biz with high volume emails so if I can unlock this, it would be huge. I have an auto responder script that is able to draft emails in my voice. Its just the attachment piece that is clunky and spotty in terms of getting it to work.

  @rjonesy It’s a little better in my experience - but not as robust as it should be. I now setup my email server as Gmail behind the scenes even though my email is still @ Mac. If mail search can’t find it I ask codex.

  I don't want to sound like an AI alarmist, but I increasingly think AI in the hands of engineers will lead to a devastating world. And the key point here being "in the hands of engineers". This might sound controversial. I would be the first to, in fact, say that engineers still need to be involved in implementing AI. That true agentic experiences are nearly impossible without involvement of engineering. But the more I run into walls with products at some of the most skilled engineering companies (xAI, Google), the more I realize that engineers are just not suitable to govern this powerful resource. In the same way, that engineers are not suitable to govern Customer Support, or Sales Development. An engineer might built a product and a successful company with a customer support. But that customer support cannot be successful and be managed directly by the said engineer. Same with AI. Consider my own recent situation. I got locked out from an old gmail account that I haven't checked in a long time. I have the password; I have the recovery email address. I went through all the steps required to confirm my identity, and was still denied access. Or another recent experience running ads on X. Somehow the system decided that my ads violated their terms (they did not). A duplicated ad got flagged for the same issue. The account is now flagged for life, and there is no recourse. While these are not the fault of AI, and AI can certainly be modified to better handle edge cases, the bigger problem is higher up in the food chain. The problem with treating AI as just another function in the overall user experience, is the misunderstanding of what AI is competing with. When engineering perceive the value of AI, the intrinsic motivation: efficiency and automation. Engineering does not want to deal with the problem, so AI is introduced to automate the solution. But this is an entirely wrong way to think about it. And it is precisely the type of thinking that leads to a Gmail account owner not being able to authenticate into his (my) own account. The right way, in fact, should be to think of AI as a replacement for a person. And a replacement for a person, while a form of automation, is not necessarily about efficiency. In some cases, the AI replacement should actually be plenty inefficient. For instance, when an edge case situation is evaluated. A support ticket comes for a previously automated decision. Efficiency was already applied. To then re-apply the same efficiency, engineers are creating the decision maker and the judge in one body. Dumb AI is a decision maker, the judge, and the executor. That's not how it should be. Some form of AI should always be allowed to have larger freedom to self-correct. And frankly, freedom is not how engineers tend to think about systems they want to control. And how do I know all this? Because I am an engineer.

  Every 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

  Google just made the smartest deal ever. They bought the entire data of a $6B company for just $10 million (0.0016% of the cost). Here is what happened. Spirit Airlines, once worth $6 billion, went bankrupt in May 2026. The airline was carrying $8.1 billion of debt and could not restructure fast enough. When it shut down, the estate was carved up for creditors. JetBlue bought 22 LaGuardia slots for $58.5 million. A hedge fund bought Spirit's Florida headquarters for $93 million. And then Google walked in and bought the data. For $10 million. The volume of what Google actually got is worth reading. 100 million emails. 763,391 flight records. 17.1 million OneDrive files. 3 billion irregular-operations records. 500 million Microsoft Teams messages. 7.2 billion pricing records of competitor flights & Employee data going back to 1986. Which means Google now has 40 years of one company's operational brain for a price that would not buy an apartment in Camellias. That changes how every founder should think about their own company. Public web data has been fully scraped by every major LLM. OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / xAI and Meta have all crawled Wikipedia, Reddit, GitHub, and every published book that they could get access to. What none of them have crawled is authentic, real-world enterprise communication under pressure. = Pricing decisions made at 2 AM, legal reviews of a controversial marketing campaign, HR investigations, board escalations. Real cross-functional coordination between finance, ops, marketing, and legal teams inside a real business. What Google is doing with this data specifically? Better pricing algorithms for Google Flights, better email drafting in Gmail, better meeting summarisation in Google Meet, better fraud detection models, better enterprise workflow automation in Google Workspace. Spirit is not going to be the last. There is now an emerging ecosystem of specialised firms that identify winding-down companies, negotiate the acquisition of their internal data, scrub it, and package it for AI labs. Which means from now on, every company that shuts down is sitting on something an AI lab wants and that dataset may recover more for creditors than the equipment, the IP, or the customer contracts combined. Your emails, your Slack, your Notion, your Figma files all of it now has a market. Google just published the first credible price on it. What do you think about it?

  the problem with most email AI is that it only works when you are actively looking at it. you still have to open every thread, click a button, and wait for a generation. Lindy put their agent directly inside Gmail as a Chrome extension so it processes your inbox in the background: summarizes what happened overnight into a morning brief, auto-labels threads, and pre-drafts replies you can tweak in plain English. no new client or migration needed.
