  @discord @TeamYouTube @Google This hacker has locked my Gmail behind "Family Linking" as my alleged "parent", so I cannot sign in, change my passwords, or kick them out without THEIR CONSENT. The only people who can get my account back are Google themselves, and they refuse to aid me.

  A researcher flagged a bug in Claude's Chrome extension in May: a fake click and an internal test flag let any extension skip the permission check that gates your Gmail and Calendar. In July it still works. Time to fix, not the sales deck, is the real governance metric.

  @HustleBitch_ Alexa is able to reveal private details about users, such as their profession or education, by cross-referencing data from the entire Amazon ecosystem (purchases, searches, emails, and calendars) and leveraging AI to infer information from unintentionally intercepted conversations. The system analyzes audio snippets recorded in the background and combines micro-information collected over time to personalize responses, often without being able to explain the exact origin of the data. That said, the very first step is downloading the app, so Alexa isn't the problem, but the idiot who relies on technology and prefers to use Alexa instead of using his brain. We should reflect on this instead. Everything that's convenient is stupid... Longanesi said: "They lived unhappily because it was cheaper"... Today's humans are zombified, that's the reality. I don't have Alexa, I have the TV off, I've set the privacy options to prevent her from spying on me at home, I've disabled the camera and microphone on my computer, and on my phone, specifically Gmail and Google, I've disabled location, tracking, smart text, the ability to listen to my conversations, etc. And if someone wants to call me, I have a separate phone just for calling, and nothing else. The problem isn't Alexa, trust me, our world is based on consent. If Alexa is a problem, we created the problem because by downloading and installing her, we agreed to use her... we agreed... so all you have to do is not agree and use your brain, easy, right?

  I think Alphabet ($GOOGL) can double again within 1–2 years. Why? - Stock is down 20% from its high because investors dislike its ~$200B AI investment. - Q2’26 Revenue grew 24% YoY vs 13% for the S&P 500. - Google Cloud grew 82% YoY, with profit more than tripling. - Open weight AI (Kimi K3, etc.) should increase demand for Google Cloud. - AI is being integrated across Search, YouTube, Gmail, Android, Chrome and Maps. I modeled three scenarios: • Worst case: $241 (-24%) • Base case: $554 (+73%) • Best case: $771 (+141%) The market is pricing AI investment as a risk. I see it as the reason to buy. Not investment advice. What do you think?

  Google is shutting down the Local Services Ads dashboard. Starting in August, home service LSA accounts get migrated into Google Ads as a new Performance Max campaign type built around pay-per-lead. Here's what's changing, what to do before your migration date, and my theories on why Google is doing this. WHAT STAYS THE SAME > You still pay per lead, not per click. Valid calls and messages only. > Your ads still show only on Search and Maps, in the same positions as today. > Still no keywords. Targeting runs off your service categories and service areas. > Your Google Verified badge carries over, and if you're already verified there's no insurance or license reverification. WHAT'S CHANGING > The LSA dashboard goes away on your migration day. The login redirects straight into Google Ads, and your old performance reports do not come with you. > Google's automated bidding sets your cost per lead from here on. > One cost target per campaign, across every service. If you want plumbing priced differently than HVAC, you now need a separate campaign for each trade. > Weekly budgets become daily budgets. Google divides your weekly number by 7, and monthly spend caps at about 30 days' worth of that. > BBB callouts are gone. You pick at least 6 structured callouts in the assets tab instead. (TBD) > Your lead inbox moves into Google Ads under Conversions, with the same charged status, dispute form, and lead downloads. > Your Google Business Profile now feeds your ads directly. Name, address, and hours sync one way from the profile into Google Ads, and changing your name or address can pause your campaign for 24 to 48 hours while Google reviews it. THE TIMELINE August: the first wave of US home service advertisers. Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliance repair, house cleaning, lawn care, roofing, pest control, and moving. Late 2026: service-area businesses without a storefront and accounts with custom setups. 2027: everyone else, including non-US accounts. You get an email 14 days before your date, a reminder a week out, and Google says to expect up to two weeks for performance to settle after the switch. WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR HOME SERVICE BUSINESS > Export everything now. Reports, lead history, what each service costs you per lead. Once the dashboard redirects, that data is gone and you'll have no way to prove whether the new system charges you more. > Get your Business Profile right before your window. If you've been putting off a DBA filing or an address change, handle it now. The new campaign gets built from whatever your profile says, and changing your name or address after migration can pause your ads for up to two days. > Multiple trades under one account? Decide your structure early. One campaign means one cost target across everything you do. Splitting by trade gives you control back, but it also splits your budget and your data. > Do not panic in the first two weeks. Google says performance takes up to two weeks to stabilize after migration. Don't pause it and don't rebuild it during that window, because you'll just restart the learning period and drag the mess out longer. Give it the full two weeks unless something is seriously broken. MY THEORIES Theory 1: Cost per lead is probably going up in competitive markets, and Google has a very good reason to want that. Before this change, you could set a max cost per lead and Google couldn't charge past it. That limit is going away. Google's system sets the price now, and prices follow demand. During a July heat wave or the week after a storm, expect to pay more for the same lead. You can still set a target cost per lead, but a target is not a limit, and Google can go past it when demand spikes. The monthly cap only protects your total spend, not the price of each lead. Now look at the timing. Google just reported its first quarter of negative free cash flow since going public in 2004. They're not losing money. The ads business is making more than ever. But they're spending it faster than it comes in, about $45 billion on AI data centers in the last three months alone, with plans to spend around $200 billion this year and even more next year. They're borrowing money and selling stock to cover the gap. When a company is burning cash at that pace, every product gets squeezed for more revenue, and ads are the machine that pays for everything. Removing the cap on what a lead can cost you, at this exact moment, fits that picture a little too well. What you can still control is simple: answer every call and keep reviews coming in weekly, because Google still wants to send leads to businesses that handle them well. Theory 2: Google plans to show these ads in more places eventually. They didn't pick the Performance Max name by accident. Right now these campaigns only run on Search and Maps. But Performance Max is the campaign type Google built to push ads onto YouTube, Gmail, and websites across the internet. My guess is that somewhere down the road, Google starts offering to run your lead ads on those extra surfaces too. If that option ever shows up in your account, be careful with it. More placements usually means worse leads, and in a pay-per-lead system that means paying for more junk. Theory 3: A lot of owners are going to stop managing their own accounts. The old LSA dashboard was simple. Any owner could log in, check leads, and adjust the budget in two minutes. Google Ads is not simple, and most owners hate being in there. My guess is a big chunk of set-and-forget accounts slowly get worse after the move, because the owner stops logging in and nobody catches drifting budgets or junk leads. The businesses that actually watch their account after the switch will take leads from the ones that don't.

  @guyrleech Hundrends of emails daily. Unsubscribe is pointless clicking this is spam is pointless. I dont have the time to read all that email. I aware they sell advertising to "active gmail" because I'll log in and get 2 or 3 emails during that login time. I'm done.

  OPUS 5 JUST DROPPED. IT WORKS MORE AUTONOMOUSLY THAN EVER Nobody sets guardrails after the damage. They set them 30 seconds before connecting the tool, or they don't set them at all. Opus 5 launched this week built to run longer and think for itself before asking u anything. It verifies its own work and recovers from errors without stepping in for permission first. That's power. It's also more steps where it can touch something u never meant to give it access to. 1. Draft-only, always. AI never sends anything on its own, Gmail, Slack, whatever. It writes the draft, a human hits send. 1 rule, 0 exceptions. 2. No delete permission, period. Not files, not emails, not records. If a tool doesn't let u separate "write" from "delete," that's ur first red flag before u even connect it. 3. New tool, new guardrails. Don't reuse the same rules for Gmail and for a payment API. Different tool, different blast radius. 4. Ask the AI to write its own limits. Before connecting anything unfamiliar, prompt it: "walk me through what hard limits and guardrails I should consider for this specific tool." It knows its own risk surface better than most people guessing. 5. Confirm before anything irreversible runs. Sends, deletes, payments, force-pushes. If it can't be undone, it needs a human eyeball first, no exceptions for "trusted" agents. The agent isn't careless. The setup just never asked it to be careful. What's the 1 guardrail u wish u'd set up before it was too late?

  Alan (@bitforth) reported 45 minutes ago

  @GergelyOrosz I am not surprised because I happen to have friends there. Google also uses them, Facebook names them differently but it's essentially the same thing. Especially in RL, the FANG documents, and so do most large tech companies. I would even challenge your claim that PRDs decide what should be built. In most companies, the core decision already exists before anyone opens the document either because a big customer problem has escalated, or an executive has set a priority, or sales demand a feature, a competitor has moved, or a small group has already agreed on the direction. A PRD RARELY creates that decision. They're mostly artifacts that large organizations require to make work visible to people who are not in the room where product decisions happen. You worked at Uber. You should know this better than most... the actual decision gets made in a meeting, a Slack thread, or a conversation between a few senior people. THEN the PRD is written just to formalize the decision, gather approvals, assign ownership, and create evidence of cross-functional collaboration. During calibration, that artifact becomes proof that someone “drove alignment” across six teams. The strongest case for a PRD is pretty much to stop people from building 6 different interpretations of the same idea, but then again... Google uses them aggressively and it is almost the perfect counterexample. It launched Allo and Duo while Hangouts already existed. It later killed Allo, split Hangouts into Chat and Meet, and eventually folded Duo into Meet. It ran Inbox beside Gmail for four years, then shut Inbox down and moved parts of it into Gmail. It acquired Waze in 2013, explicitly kept its product team separate, and still develops both Waze and Google Maps as overlapping navigation products more than a decade later. I am 100% SURE all of those teams had detailed PRDs. In fact, a polished PRD can make duplication worse. It gives every team a coherent narrative, supporting metrics, a roadmap, and a professional-looking artifact with which to defend its territory.

  july 9: the eu parliament tried to kill chat control and missed by 47 votes. so "voluntary" scanning of gmail, messenger and the rest stays legal until 2028 - e2e encryption exempt, for now. "for now" is the whole problem. an inbox someone else can switch to scan was never yours.
