  Reggie Tan | rxggie.eth (@rxggietan) reported 6 minutes ago

  I despise default AI copy. Especially in emails. Here's how I taught mine to stop sounding like it. A few months ago, an AI agent I was testing (using Hermes) drafted an email that sounded way too eerily like me. And I'm not talking about "professional email from reggie tan" me. I mean it actually sounded like me - with all my quirks and isms - 90% of the way there on the first try. I was out running errands, so I voice-noted the agent to check my inbox for any new emails. Something had come in. I told it the gist of what to say as a response, and moved on. A minute later the reply was sitting there - the opening, the phrasing, my catch phrases, the way I sign off, all of it was totally me. It tripped me out a little. I'd previously used AI to write emails plenty of times before, and it always came back sounding like AI. Saved me a few minutes, maybe. But it definitely never sounded like me. The problem was never that AI can't write. It's that most people let it write in its default voice. And you can spot default AI in two seconds, just like you can spot a standard Canva template, or just another Claude-designed website. Nobody teaches their AI anything. However email is the place where it really matters. It isn't a broadcast. It's one person writing to one person. You're trying to build a relationship there. Send someone a generic version of yourself and you've missed the whole point of writing to them. So I stopped relying on a lucky voice note and built it on purpose. I rebuilt my voice in Claude Cowork. Connected the Gmail connector so it could read how I actually write, not a list of rules about how I write. Then used skill-creator to turn that into a reusable email skill. Told it to look for example emails in my sent folder. Then made it look again for more, over and over again, until it was satisfied with the volume of sample data. I read what it gave back, corrected it, ran it again. It's a loop, not a one-shot - and every pass landed closer. The goal should be 80% of the way there. Back in the prime years of web3 (the golden years of crypto), way before ChatGPT 3.5 changed the world, I solo'd six clients at once (led 6 marketing teams for 6 companies simultaneously) and it nearly broke me. What's changed isn't that AI does the work for me. It's that the output still sounds and operates like me, which is the only reason I could take that kind of volume on again without the quality slipping. Using AI isn't the edge anymore. Everyone's doing that. The edge is whether it still sounds like you, or like everyone else. When you get an email you can instantly tell was written by default AI, what's your honest first reaction? 👾 I'm kicking around turning this into a short workshop for anyone who wants to do this with their own AI. If that's you, drop a comment or DM me - I'll share details when we're ready to rock.

  Bit of a rant. This is not actually true. There is no reasonable way anymore as a functioning user of the internet to prevent an image to going into AI. If it’s transferred online it’s in an AI in fact congrats you’ve broken and nullified your own terms. Have windows or a mac… it’s been scanned. Transferred over discord? Scanned. Emailed? Likely scanned by both email accounts (especially google with gmail). Did you post it literally anywhere publically online? If another user can see it so can an AI. It’s also been through both your ISPs don’t think they won’t also sell your data. Next, copyright ownership is implied when you are purchasing especially if you are a ‘work for hire’. But let’s table that because it’s a difference of opinion and many judges and lawyers would give you differing stances on this. So let’s move onto legal enforcement, you can’t stop the person from using the model and there is no damages for a financal lawsuit. Without actual enforcement none of this matters. But let’s pretend you all brigade the vtuber and kill their channel, whelp you will lose your career cuz nobody is hiring your *** again. Also now on top of that they have a nice little lawsuit for you with damages because there is provable financial damages since they can project the money off his or her earnings. Lastly the obvious… you are making everyone’s point. This is why people are using AI in the first place. You are being an insufferable sub-human rat who can’t simply get along and be normal. You can’t just be low maitenance and get the commission done quickly and without strings attached and start a healthy transactional relationship with your customers. They are coming to you in good faith and you are looking for ways to screw them over your own brain worms. You instead try to control the situation from the person you are getting payment from which you should feel indebted to because they are giving you an opportunity. If you are more effort than the alternative (which is free btw) then you are not getting hired. You are not entitled to anyone’s money and we are not forced to deal with you. What you offer isn’t so impressive that you can make any demands. To artists, if you love art then shut up, hone your craft, have fun. Draw what you hired to draw, and if you don’t like the commission don’t take it. Don’t cause problems or make demands. If you deviate from this, you get nothing and deserve nothing. But if you get along with nearly everyone else people will want to hire you because many of your fellow artists are this level of insufferable.

  Week 2 of building a local newsletter - sent my second issue out to 31 subs at the time (+20 since the last issue), describing 84 things going on in the area; 55% open rate - currently 41 subscribers: 34 active, 7 pending +13 week-on-week i.e. a 46% WoW growth rate! - 100 subs -> 1mo, 250 -> 4mo, 500 -> 8mo therefore, likely to start getting interest from sponsors about 3mo from now - subscriber pain point: so much stuff they want to do, it's difficult to keep track -> they asked for a way to favorite stuff - my pain points: editing down the volume of content is really difficult even with AI, especially since Gmail clips emails at 102KB - open questions: is Thursday the best day? I'll send out a poll when I have more subscriberss

  It’s 2026 and the 6-member limit on the #GoogleOne family plan is still completely arbitrary and frustrating. Large families exist! #IndianFamilies I’ve had Gmail since 2008 (18 years of data & loyalty), I’m a Google Ultra Max user who previously gave feedback on Gemini’s initial limitations, and this should apply to all Google One subscriptions. We can’t pay for extra slots or add more members without a whole second plan. Time to fix this. One more stupidity is I can't my family members who are in India , I'm in the usa . It is completely arbitrary. I can share such feedbacks across our #Google. It is ours to make it better. Please think about it. I didn't find a Gmail to send the feedback. Hence sharing publicly. @Google @MadeByGoogle @sundarpichai

  Google is changing how Android backups use your Google storage. A lot of people have received an email from Google about an upcoming change to its storage policy. The email is easy to ignore. But if you use an Android phone, this change could eventually affect your Google Account storage. How does it work today? Your Google Account storage is shared across services such as: Google Drive Gmail Google Photos And certain other Google services Your Android phone also creates backups of important information, including things like: SMS messages Call history Device settings App settings Other backed-up device data According to the email, photos, videos and MMS data already count toward your Google storage today. However, some of the other data included in your Android device backup currently does not count toward your storage limit in the same way. What changes in 45 days? Google says that all data included in your Android device backup will begin counting toward your Google Account storage limit. That means your storage usage may increase. For example, imagine you currently have: Google Photos: 10 GB Gmail: 2 GB Google Drive: 3 GB Android device backup: 4 GB Your current usage may be approximately: 15 GB After the policy change, the additional backup data could also be counted, potentially taking your usage to: 19 GB or more. If that pushes you beyond your available storage limit, your automatic backups may eventually pause until you: Free up storage; or Buy additional storage. This is important because many people don't actively monitor their Google storage. They simply assume that because their phone is backing up automatically, everything is fine. But automatic backups can quietly accumulate over time. What can you do if you cannot afford to buy additional storage? You don't necessarily have to immediately pay for more space. You can first reduce the amount of storage you are using. Step 1: Check what is actually using your storage Before deleting anything, find out what is consuming the most space. Go to your Google Account storage management page and check the breakdown. You may discover that the problem is not your Android backup. It could be: Thousands of large videos in Google Photos Large files in Google Drive Gmail attachments Old emails Multiple device backups Deleted files that have not been permanently removed Do not start deleting randomly. First identify the biggest storage users. Step 2: Clean up Google Photos For many people, Google Photos is the biggest storage consumer. Start with videos. Videos generally consume much more space than photographs. Look for: Long videos Duplicate videos Screen recordings WhatsApp videos Old forwarded videos Blurry or accidental recordings Videos you downloaded but no longer need A simple rule: If you have not watched it, used it or thought about it in the last two years, ask yourself whether you really need to keep it in your Google Account forever. You can also download important photos and videos to an external hard drive or another secure storage location before deleting them from Google Photos. Important: Make sure you understand how Google Photos deletion and device synchronization work before deleting anything you want to keep. Step 3: Clean up Google Drive Go through your Google Drive and sort files by size. Look for: Old videos Large presentations Duplicate documents Old ZIP files Installation files Old backups Files shared with you that you no longer need Large files are the quickest way to recover storage. Deleting 1,000 small documents may save less space than deleting one large video file. Step 4: Clean up Gmail Your Gmail account may contain years of emails with large attachments. Search for large emails using Gmail's search function. For example: larger:10M This helps you find emails larger than 10 MB. You can also search for: has:attachment Then review old emails containing large files. Delete: Old newsletters Promotional emails Spam Emails with unnecessary attachments Old notifications After deleting them, empty the Trash and Spam folders. Otherwise, the storage may not be immediately released. Step 5: Review old Android backups Many people have changed phones several times. Your Google Account may still contain backups from: Your current phone Your previous phone A phone you sold years ago A device you no longer own Check whether old device backups are still stored. If you no longer use a particular device, you may be able to delete its backup. But be careful: Never delete the backup of your current phone unless you understand exactly what you are doing. If your phone is lost, stolen or damaged, that backup could be what allows you to restore important information. Step 6: Reduce future backup growth Cleaning your storage today is only half the solution. You should also reduce how quickly your storage grows. Look at your phone and ask: Do I really need every photo backed up at maximum quality? Do I need every video automatically backed up? Are WhatsApp media files being backed up multiple times? Am I keeping unnecessary screenshots forever? Do I have multiple apps creating large backups? Do I need every old message and file stored indefinitely? The objective is not necessarily to stop backing up. The objective is to stop backing up things you do not actually need. A practical 30 minute storage cleanup plan If you are worried about running out of space, do this: First 5 minutes: Check your Google storage breakdown. Find the biggest category. Next 10 minutes: Delete large unnecessary videos and files. Next 5 minutes: Search Gmail for large attachments. Next 5 minutes: Review old device backups. Final 5 minutes: Empty your Trash and Spam folders. You may be surprised by how much space you can recover without spending money. The bigger lesson Cloud storage is convenient. But "automatic" does not mean "free forever." Every time you take a photo, receive an attachment, download a video or create a device backup, you are potentially adding to your digital storage footprint. The smart approach is: Back up what matters. Delete what doesn't. Review your storage periodically. Don't wait until your account is full before taking action. And before you delete anything important, make sure you have another copy somewhere safe. Your phone may be full of memories. But not every file deserves permanent residence in the cloud.

  First why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

  I think that over the long-term, cybersecurity risk due to open frontier models will be limited. (These are, to a meaningful extent, solvable problems.) But in the near- and medium-term, there's some risk of disruption. You should consider (1) moving sensitive cloud data offline and (2) maintaining an airgapped backup of important data that you update every now and again. Incidentally, AI can be very helpful with (1). It's easier to write an export-and-delete API integration than ever before. And for most people, much of the data that's really important to them is data that they touch only rarely. If you're considering what the risks are, I think the right threat model is that popular cloud services could get breached. You could imagine loss of iCloud or GMail data. Or a breach and export of some passwords in 1Password.

  Avoiding "spam trigger words" is 2015 advice. Gmail doesn't read your email for the word "free." It watches how people behave with your emails. Promotions tab is a behaviour problem, not a vocabulary one.
