Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedChatGPT Codex Just Became A Full AI Worker Most people still think it only writes code. They’re about to get left behind. What Changed: → Codex can now build full apps from one prompt → Plugins connect it to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Figma, Linear, Sheets, and 90+ tools → It can wire APIs, read docs, test workflows, and fix bugs without you doing the painful setup The New Workflow: ✓ One agent builds the frontend ✓ One agent builds the backend ✓ One agent tests the app ✓ One agent writes docs ✓ One agent fixes bugs in parallel Real Example: → Ask Codex to build a lead form → Connect Gmail + Google Sheets → Send thank-you emails automatically → Log new leads without manual data entry The big lesson: Stop using Codex like a coding assistant. Use it like a builder that can automate the boring parts of your business.

Monday-Monday (@MondayMonday_2_) reported@OwenGregorian I will not go near anything that is Google. I don’t have a Gmail or any other apps associated with Google because they has cracks in the door where hackers can get in and there are aware of it and they don’t fix it. The hackers could be them? I bought an iPhone and stick with iCloud and the search engine under Norton. I have not had any problems since making that transfer. I WILL NOT DEAL AT ALL WITH GOOGLE.💪

Heałer⚕️ (@Healer0x) reported[8/12] Let's make it concrete. Say you hold 0.5 BTC. You open a Garden — Gmail login, 60 seconds, no seed phrase. You deposit your BTC. You pick a Gardener — a DeFi strategist with an on-chain track record. They get a Session Key. Permission to execute strategies inside your Garden — nothing else. They cannot withdraw your BTC. They only earn when your BTC grows. When it doesn't — they don't. Your 0.5 BTC never left your wallet. Not for a second. One model. Two winners. Zero middlemen.
