  Nate Tucker (@natetucker) reported 1 minute ago

  Gmail search is broken. We're building an AI assistant which lets people talk to it. It tries to look up contacts by the name it hears. 60% of the time it failed. The reason it failed was because we were learning on Gmail search. Gmail's search doesn't understand that words can sound alike. It only matches from the start of a word, caps how many results it returns, and doesn't sort by how relevant a result actually is. Somehow it gets worse, because the old matching would grab any word containing the letters you typed. Searching for "Dr. Stevens" could match the "dr" hiding inside "Sandra" or "Pedro," and one of those wrong matches would often win. We got fed up and built our own directory instead.

  @katiehobbs @MaryLouRosas1 Katie, Sweetie… This Is Your Record?” 1. The Pay‑to‑Play Saga That Just Won’t Die Katie out here preaching “nonpartisan leadership” while her administration was busy starring in a real‑life episode of Arizona: The Donation Connection. • Massive donations roll in. • Rate increases magically appear. • A secret legal defense fund pops up like a desert gopher. But sure, Katie — tell us more about “doing what’s right for Arizona.” 2. The $2 Million Wire Transfer to Nigeria This one is peak comedy. Her Housing Department literally wired $2 million of Arizona taxpayer money to scammers. To Nigeria. Because they didn’t have basic verification procedures. Katie: “Leadership is delivering results.” Arizona: “Girl, you delivered $2 million to a scammer with a Gmail account.” 3. The Tourism Logo Fiasco $700,000 blown on a tourism rebrand that looked like someone opened Canva and said “good enough.” Then — shocker — the marketing firm had ties to the Tourism Director’s brother. Director resigns in 48 hours. But yes, Katie, tell us again how you’re “bringing people together.” Apparently mostly through ethics investigations. 4. Court Ruling: You Literally Broke State Law A judge ruled she violated Arizona law by installing agency heads without Senate confirmation. She tried to bypass oversight by inventing “executive deputy directors.” The court basically said: “Nice try, but no.” Leadership, Katie? You can’t even follow the rulebook. 5. Transparency Issues That Make People Squint Even after prosecutors declined charges, the Attorney General said the whole situation showed a need for legislative reform. Translation: “Something smells off, but we can’t prove it yet.”

  @CreeK_ @MSFT365Status Gmail had a self inflicted outage on Apr 8, and is garbage for business (I've used it at several companies).

  @nicdunz It's cool. You can just utilise the bug in their billing to get access to other accounts that they won't fix despite it being on the dev forums. I used this on a Gmail account to "breach" my own business account for a proof of concept to get them to fix it. Didn't need to provide consent or anything. Just sitting there draining my own business account via a gmail.

  ChatGPT finally supports multiple Gmail accounts. No more logging out. No more switching tabs. No more half-pictures of your schedule. You can now connect multiple Google accounts side-by-side to read emails, calendars, and contacts all at once. Here is how to set it up in under a minute: 1. Open ChatGPT and go to plugins/settings. 2. Tap the gear icon on Gmail. 3. Select "Connect another account" and sign in. Stop checking your inbox manually. Let AI do the triage.

  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.

  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.

  @levelsio scoring is the easy 80%. the last 20 is that my 'important' isnt yours, and the model only really learns it from what you actually delete, not the rules you write down. thats the part gmail keeps not shipping
