  @Google @gmail I have paid for my Gmail storage twice Aug 6th and Aug 25th - both successful but I can’t seem to access my Gmail still. It still says I’m out of storage. What is this about? Kindly fix ASAP

  @RavynSkye1 @PressSec “I can exist just fine without the internet.” Congratulations. That's not what anyone asked. The question is how much of your ordinary modern life depends on American goods, companies and services. Let's count just ten: 1. Your smartphone. Apple dominates Canada's smartphone market, with roughly 58% of Canadian cellphone owners using an iPhone. 2. Your social media. You're literally posting this argument on X, an American platform. 3. Your search engine. Google is American. How many times a day do you use it? 4. Your email. Gmail is American. So is Microsoft Outlook. 5. Your cloud storage and computing. Amazon, Microsoft and Google control about 85% of Canada's public cloud market. 6. Your credit card. Visa and Mastercard are American payment networks. The Bank of Canada specifically identifies VisaNet and Mastercard's payment systems as major payment systems relied upon by millions of Canadians every day. 7. Your streaming. Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Spotify are all American companies. 8. Your online shopping. Amazon is American, and millions of Canadians use American payment and technology infrastructure to buy things online. 9. Your computer software. Windows, Microsoft 365, Teams and countless other programs Canadians use every day come from American companies. 10. Your digital payments. Canadians made 22.5 billion retail payment transactions in 2024, with credit and debit cards accounting for 63% of payment volume. Mobile contactless payments alone reached 3.4 billion transactions. So yes, I'm sure you could survive without the internet. So could I. But that's a completely different proposition from saying Canadians can casually sever economic and technological ties with the United States without considerable consequences. And here's the funny part: you're demonstrating the problem while arguing about it. You're using an American social-media platform, probably on an American-designed smartphone, through American-developed software and infrastructure, to announce that you don't need American technology. That's rather like standing in a Walmart yelling, “I don't need America!” while holding the microphone they gave you. Nobody is saying Canada can't stand up for itself. We absolutely can. But pretending that economic interdependence disappears because you're personally capable of reading a book by candlelight is not economic strategy. It's cosplay.

  @NCbassey Just log out of all your Gmail accounts. After logging off, go to LinkedIn sign in, and then just add your Gmail account. LinkedIn just adds our running Gmail account when we try to log in.

  Every bot in Grok Bot gets its own actual computer in the cloud, a full machine with a browser, files, a terminal, and your real logins, and it keeps working after you close your laptop. That single fact is why one person can now run a Chief of Staff, a research lead, a sales rep, and a bookkeeper without hiring a single one of them. Here's the part that undercuts the "replace your whole team" hype: xAI's own documentation calls the shared cloud machine every bot runs on a real blast radius, meaning one bot isn't actually a security boundary from another. Every connection you make lives at the account level, so connecting Gmail once hands that access to every bot you'll ever create, which is exactly why the honest advice is to keep banking logins off it entirely and only connect what you genuinely need during beta. The mistake that kills most setups isn't technical, it's psychological. People pile outreach, content, receipts, and calendar management onto one clever bot until it drowns in its own context and burns through usage fast. The fix that actually works is almost boring: one narrow role per bot, briefed like a real job description with what it owns, what good output looks like in checks instead of adjectives, and exactly where it has to stop and wait for you. If an action can't be undone in under a minute, it waits, full stop. The real training here isn't the bot's, it's yours. Every time you interrupt a run to re-answer something the bot's profile already knew, you pay to relearn it, and context only compounds if you actually leave it alone for a week at a time. The suggested ramp is blunt about that: week one it only drafts and you read everything, by week four it runs on a schedule and you read a weekly summary instead of babysitting every click. So the real question isn't whether a bot can do the job, access already proved that. It's whether you can actually stop interrupting long enough to find out.

  Most of us have an archive problem disguised as an email problem. Years of sent mails, drafts, links, notes, experiments and half-formed ideas sit inside Gmail or Apple Mail. We think it is old communication. But for knowledge workers, it is often something else: a record of how we thought.

  Grok Bot shipped this month and you can run an entire outbound desk inside it. Here's the full build: 1) Create one bot first and make it the coordinator. Give it a title, pin it to the top, and don't give it any work. Its only job is knowing which bot owns what. 2) Brain dump your whole motion into it. Your ICP, offer, channels, stack, what you want off your plate. Then reverse prompt it: Ask how it would structure the desk based on what it now knows. It writes the bots itself. 3) Build 6 bots, one job each: > list builder, owns TAM sourcing & segmentation > enrichment, runs the waterfall & scores accounts > copywriter, writes variants per segment > deliverability, watches bounce rates & inbox health daily > replies, scores intent & drafts responses > coordinator, reads all five and hands you one list 4) Give them real names. Sounds pointless. You delegate noticeably more when the sidebar reads like a team instead of a list of functions. 5) Install the plugin layer. Gmail, Calendar, X, and Agent Mail. Agent Mail gives every bot its own inbox and address in about ten seconds. 6) Never hand a bot your credentials. Each one gets its own email, then you invite it into your tools like a contractor. Moderator, not admin. Scoped to one workspace. 7) Put them on routines. Deliverability runs every morning before sending starts. Replies runs continuously. Coordinator runs once at the end of the day. 8) Every stop condition has to be checkable by something other than the bot. "Bounce rate pulled from the sequencer" works. "The bot says it ran" does not, and this is where swarms fail silently. The reason this beats one big agent: A single agent's description has to cover every job you own, and that whole thing gets read on every request. Split by role and you split the context with it. The deliverability bot answers fast because it isn't reading about your copy first. Week one output is mediocre. You fix it by messaging the specific bot that produced the weak brief and telling it what was wrong. Then it rewrites its own instructions. Most of the setup is deciding who owns what. The prompts literally take an evening.

  AMERICAN HODL 🇺🇸 (@americanhodl8) reported 28 minutes ago

  I talked to this person too and it was the standard social engineering playbook. After months of calls from “google” he finally decided to pick one up because it said it was from the Mountain View area. The scammers then socially engineered him to reset his gmail password. They gained access to his gmail account, where they watched him email the real @trezor. They then called pretending to be trezor and tried to give him a fake link to click. He was smart enough not to do that and went to the trezor website himself. But they had already pulled pictures of his ID and passport from his gmail and created a panic inducing story about someone trying to pretend to be him and they said in the wake of coldcard they had a new recovery service and if he would just type his seed phrase into the chrome url they could make sure his bitcoin was safe. In a moment of panic his brain glitched out and he decided it was a good idea to do that. The scammers then had access to his google and were able to see his browser history so they were able to read his seed in plain text and they stole his bitcoin. He knows this was a big mistake and he feels dumb for falling for it, but this kid is not dumb. He knows a lot about bitcoin and has even heard about these types of scams before. He simply had a very human moment of genuine fear and panic (which was artificially created by the scammers) and then ****** up and made a catastrophic error. The lesson is that your own panic and fear is the scammers weapon, so if you’re feeling that it’s best to pump the breaks and slow everything way down. Get off the phone and breathe. Call a trusted friend. Come to them with what’s going on. The other unpopular lesson is that self custody is hard and it’s not for everyone. Stay safe out there friends.

  @tszzl goodluck cracking PHP WASM kernels matrix boundaries and cryptographic proofs of work required. even a single button that links a tenant server or cluster to GMAIL is over 100k lines of code and a rigorous battery of over 1,000 tests... I pity the fools who end up trying to hack it, by the time I am done it will bite back

  Some early thoughts on Grok @bot after using it over the weekend... This is a knowledge worker who can code rather than a coder that can do knowledge work. This will be the form factor for multi agent, single human companies going forward. No doubt about it. All of the basic features just work. In the first hour or so setting up plugins, using the VM, setting up routines didn't feel like a chore. Just a conversation. The speed at which it gathers context or updates plugins like Notion is amazing. The level of abstraction of feeling like your talking to a colleague with a role eases the mental load subconsciously when working. This is not talked about enough. But still room for improvement... The VM routines are SLOW. Increased speed here would be a big plus. I had some gmail signature issues with the plugin and tried to replicate in the VM instead and it was just painful. It NEEDS workspaces. Each representing a solo business with different bots/roles. Currently I'm solving this by having product owner bots for each of my repos. This could be a follow on to the upcoming templates feature I believe. Overall I'm happy to stick with this setup going forward as there are already lots of updates on the way as well as Grok 4.7. I'm willing to bet on the Cursor & xAI team also that its only going to get better from here. I've got some other thoughts on it that I hope to write an article about soon.

  @ChatGPT Event triggers on Slack and Gmail is the real shift — cron means the model runs when you decide, webhooks mean it runs when the outside world decides. Every inbound message is now a potential instruction, which makes prompt injection an inbox problem rather than a chat problem.
