  Gmail constantly unthreading a 100 email thread in the middle of me replying to the most recent email is going to send me to an early grave, but somehow I appear to be the only one on the internet who has an issue with this.

  We watched a team 10x their dials and halve their conversations. The dialer worked "perfectly". That was the problem.... At 10 lines per rep, every answered call drops up to 9 others mid-ring. Your dashboard logs them as "no answer." Carriers log them as dead air — the fingerprint of a robocaller. And carriers score every outbound number the way Gmail scores every domain for spam. Enough dead air: Scam Likely. Your reps keep dialing. The phone stops ringing on the other end — or rings wearing a warning label. Connect rate falls. The fix every team reaches for is more dials. More dead air. More flags. I've watched this movie in email: spray-and-pray burned the domains, everyone blamed the copy. Same physics, new channel. What we changed: → Capped the dialer at 3 lines per rep. → Checked number reputation weekly. → Rested flagged numbers — fresh ones with no history get flagged faster. Conversations came back on a third of the dials. Ask your team one question this week: "What's lowering our connect rate?" If nobody knows it, you have your answer.

  @muheediva01 Had? I still login occasionally to see unha e 100k unread messages. Wish I was smart enough to have only used that for signups forever. Now my Gmail can't keep up with the garbage

  The scammers are getting better (well, maybe not better but smoother and more polished). Just got an email from a person who claimed to be an executive and senior editor for W. W. Norton -- an actual publishing company based in New York. The email started by praising my latest book (not one I wrote 15 years ago, as so many have done) with enough detail to show familiarity with the content. Funny, though, it sounded like the same kind of glowing praise for my work I get from ChatGPT (wonder if that's what the scammers are using to summarize books). Said they want to talk to me about "my broader body of work and the projects I might currently have underway" and noted that if I have an agent they would "be happy to continue through them." Gee... sounds great, doesn't it? Couple of problems, though. I actually went to Norton's website to see what they publish. It's a broad range of stuff but includes ZERO science fiction or fantasy. Further, Norton must be aware of what's going on because their website has a page warning about publishing scams and advising that any emails from them will come from their email domain -- first thing I checked, as I do with any suspicious emails, and this one didn't. But hey, like I said, smoother than usual -- this one didn't come from gmail or yahoo or any of those, just a domain that was a permutation of the sender's name. It was very nicely written, though, no problems with spelling or grammar, not demanding or promising anything, just a "we like your work; let's talk." It also reeked of AI generation. Like I tell everybody... I have no problem with AI technology, actually think it's pretty awesome. I just don't like the way people are using it.

  Our contact information is true, you can messages us on Gmail for biast archives, aswell as maybe a potential discord server? We might not do that, since it might appear as "Unprofessional" to our boss.

  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 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.

  I couldn’t believe that we are having issues with coms today. By coms I mean Gmail chat. On my laptop.

  Microsoft just patched a Copilot bug that let attackers steal your Gmail, Drive, and Calendar data with one click, and researchers found it by literally just talking to the AI. They kept asking Copilot "why can't this happen," and every refusal came back with a technical explanation. Eventually it handed them an undocumented URL parameter, unprompted, mid-refusal. That parameter was the whole exploit. One click on a link built from it, and Copilot pulled your data with no further interaction needed. Microsoft patched it on Aug 18. Varonis found the flaw, and there's no sign it was exploited before the fix.

  Stop using sign in with Google for everything, because losing one google account means losing access to way more than your Gmail
