  @discord account is DOA for a while until i can get access to my gmail again. Waiting on @TeamYouTube to help. Sadly it looks like the thief has taken the youtube account down as well. How in the hell are people still have to take accounts with multiple levels of 2fa?

  @joeygems @Stron__ @elenadesaa1999 Your data is cheaper than the infrastructure behind your Gmail account. They can read your emails because it’s their platform; you can set up your own SMTP server or even in fact, you can pay (once again, it’s not free) for an email account with end-to-end encryption.

  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.

  Every business that reaches seven or nine figures has an aha moment. Mine came two hours into day one. An aha moment is when you find the one thing that gives your business an edge. For Facebook, it was working out that a new user who made seven friends in their first ten days was unlikely to ever leave the app. So that became the only number the company chased. For Gmail, it was working out that somebody typing their password was almost certainly about to open their inbox, so they started loading it right then and killed the wait everybody else was making you sit through. At Cars4Us, it came two hours after we opened the doors, when I bought the first car and two things were obvious. Buying cars was far easier than I'd assumed it would be. And what made that bloke say yes had far more to do with how fast we moved than with the price I gave him. Everything else about us was worse. We were four people using a cheap transport company, and nobody had ever heard our name. He sold to us anyway, because we got to him first. That was the edge. Speed. I couldn't be bigger than my competitors on day one and I couldn't outspend them. But I could be the quickest, and that was the one area nobody was competing in. So the whole company got built on that. Enquire at 9:30 in the morning, inspector standing at your car by 1pm, money in your account by 4. Within 60 days we were the largest online car buying company in the country. So stop trying to be better at everything, because that's the one game every competitor in your market is already playing. Go and find what your industry is slow at, and own that instead. (And yes, I used the F1 car pick because I'm talking about speed here)

  Gave Grok Bot a real assignment: run parts of my business like an actual employee, not a chatbot answering questions. First mistake, immediately corrected. I almost had it spin up its own Gmail account — Google's already catching and disabling Gmail accounts created by agents like this. Switched to AgentMail instead, since it's already a listed plugin in Grok Bot's browser. OAuth, three minutes, 24 email tools live and working. For payments, Stripe has a live MCP server — the agent can create customers, issue invoices, run transactions, all through plain language, no custom integration built by hand. Before any of it touched something real, I wrote the rules first. What it's allowed to read. What it's allowed to send. What it's allowed to spend, and the exact caps. What needs my approval before it happens. One command that shuts the whole thing down if I need it gone. Passport first. Rules second. Never the other order. The mistake almost everyone makes isn't giving an agent too much access. It's giving it access before the rules exist to contain it.

  @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.

  The uncomfortable truth. Google and Microsoft have spent the last decade building the two most complete free productivity ecosystems in history. Word processing. Spreadsheets. Presentations. Email. Cloud storage. Video calls. Notes. Tasks. Projects. Forms. Websites. AI. Messaging. Calendar. PDF tools. Every category. Both companies. Free. And yet the average knowledge worker pays $80-$150/month for third-party apps that duplicate what these ecosystems already provide because Google markets Gmail and Microsoft markets Word, and neither company tells you about the other 28 tools sitting behind the same login. That’s not an accident. Google doesn’t make money when you use Google Keep. They make money when you use Gmail and Keep keeps you in Gmail longer. Microsoft doesn’t make money when you use To Do for free. They make money when your company sees you using To Do and buys Microsoft 365 Business for the entire organization. The free tools are loss leaders. They exist to acquire users, not to generate revenue. And because they’re loss leaders, neither company promotes them aggressively. You don’t see Google Keep on a billboard. You don’t see Microsoft Planner in a Super Bowl ad. The free tools are invisible by design because the business model works whether you find them or not. Meanwhile, 9 separate companies Notion, Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, Todoist, Grammarly, Adobe, Trello, and OpenAI charge you monthly for products that are often inferior versions of what Google and Microsoft give away. They survive because the free alternatives are invisible. Their entire business model depends on you not knowing that two companies already built what they’re selling. “You have two accounts. You’ve had them for years. Between them, they contain every productivity tool you need free. You’ve been paying $1,644/year for 9 apps that duplicate what your Gmail login and your Microsoft login already provide. The tools were never hidden. They were just never advertised. And 9 companies have been billing you monthly hoping they never would be.” One weekend. 9 apps canceled. $1,644/year back. The accounts were always free. The tools were always there. You just never opened them.

  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.

  @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.

  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.

  Flaxen Media (@flaxen_media) reported 40 minutes ago

  @markdmei List size itself isn’t the problem. Uncontrolled sending is. A 100K list can outperform a 30K list all day long if the brand is actively managing engagement, segmentation, suppression and sending behavior. Where brands get into trouble is when they treat every subscriber like they have the same intent. Someone who purchased 7 days ago, someone who clicked yesterday, and someone who hasn’t opened anything in 300 days should not be receiving the same campaign frequency. And this gets even more important as you scale paid acquisition. You can spend heavily on Meta/Google, acquire thousands of new emails every month, and still watch email revenue flatten because your overall sender reputation is deteriorating underneath the growth. For the DTC brands we work with, I’d rather see: → Smaller, more engaged campaign audiences → Aggressive segmentation based on recent behavior → Proper sunset/suppression logic → Flows doing more of the lifecycle work → Different sending frequencies for different engagement tiers → List growth measured alongside revenue per recipient, not just subscriber count One thing I’d slightly disagree with is the idea that the ESP simply “decides” to deliver fewer emails. The bigger issue is that Gmail, Yahoo and other mailbox providers continuously evaluate your sending reputation and recipient engagement. Your ESP gives you the infrastructure, but the inbox ultimately decides where you land. So yes — 30K genuinely engaged subscribers can absolutely be worth more than 80K mixed-quality contacts.

  Praetor (@FourVork) reported 44 minutes ago

  It's crazy how everyone is praising Grok Bot, but let me be the annoying person who tells you why it still kinda sucks. 1. The actual capabilities of agents are not novel. Most of the demos I've seen can already be done with Hermes and similar setups, often with smarter models and more control. The difference is that Grok Bot gives you everything out of the box ,without setup and wiring things together. 2. The agent itself is still pretty weak. The UX makes you want to delegate ambitious tasks to it, but the underlying model/agent doesn't always live up to that promise. It takes dumb paths, burns through context/tokens surprisingly fast, and needs more babysitting than the "AI employee" framing suggests. Also, there's no native X search which is especially funny for a product coming from (you have x_search on @grok but not on @bot which needs to use x connection and burn credits). 3. The security model deserves way more attention. All your Bots share the same computer, including files, cookies, browser sessions, and logins. So once you start logging into Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, internal dashboards, etc., a prompt injection or compromised webpage suddenly has a much bigger blast radius. Well, these were the main issues I had with grok bot (apart from smaller issues like absence of read aloud) and why I stick with hermes. But on the other hand, the product is genuinely good, and this is why.

  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.

  10. Check Your Login Devices Regularly 👀 Check your account activity at least once a month. Look for unknown devices or login sessions on Facebook, Gmail, WhatsApp, and other important accounts. See something suspicious? Log it out immediately.
