  my personal gmail was hacked. I lost access to my @coinbase and in order to get the funds out of my old account and into my new one, I need to verify my identity. here's the problem: I have tried a dozen times to verify my identity for my new account and I keep getting an error message. I am following each step perfectly. I am exchanging emails with @CoinbaseSupport What am I doing wrong? Has anyone experienced this issue before?

  @HustleBitch_ ARPANET being a DARPA project is not a conspiracy. It's in the history textbooks. What isn't: that it was built as a honeypot so every Gmail/Facebook click would train a giant AI "since the Reagan era," or that the wrong words summon a black SUV. Resource-sharing network in 1969 ≠ commercial surveillance in 2026. Those are real, separate problems (ads, data collection, actual warrantless programs). Mashing them into one Tesla-Grok jump scare is how you stop being able to talk about the real ones.

  @sholard_mancity simply log out and do not stay logged in. or immediately access gmail from elsewhere and "log out of all devices". the emails were not in her laptop, but in the cloud. so, the issue is remaining logged in on the work laptop. what is so hard about this?

  Email signature logo showing as a broken box for some people? Don't fix it with base64. Gmail blocks those deliberately, and some spam filters flag a message containing one. Host it at a normal URL — or rebuild the wordmark as text. Text never gets blocked.

  @skullface Because the issue is with generative-ai, not assistive-ai. And the labeling is done this way intentionally to blur the line between these two different types of ai. Just like gmail telling me it needs ai permissions to give me folders that have existed since at least 2012.

  When Google shut down my You Tube channel. They also closed my Gmail. I’d had that account for decades. And it’s how old friends would contact me. Should tech companies be allowed to arbitrarily close people’s email accounts? Call me crazy. But I think not. I’m more annoyed about that than my You Tube channel. Sorry for Tadhg. It was promoting peace with Iran that did it for me.

  First why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

  🚨 BREAKING: Your boss can now dig through EVERYTHING on your work laptop… even your private emails, late-night chats, and personal files. A Kenyan employee thought she was safe. She logged into her personal Gmail on the company computer. She sent private messages. She stored personal stuff. Then performance problems hit. The company seized the laptop. They opened it. They read through her personal email. She cried privacy violation. Constitutional rights. Article 31. The court looked at her… and said NO. “Your computer belongs to the employer. You used it for personal business at your own risk. No expectation of privacy.” Boom. Case dismissed. Employers just got a green light to inspect work devices, even when you’re mixing private life with company property. One wrong login… and your secrets can become evidence. It feels extreme.

  OpenMousebot just landed. It's a free open-source version of Grokbot. And it runs on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. Quick backstory: Grokbot's "week-long" free trial died on me in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this. Open source. No waitlist. → Looks like WhatsApp, but every contact is an AI agent → Each bot gets its own brain, memory, and cloud computer → Pick a different model per bot: Claude, Codex, or Grok → 500+ one-click app connections: Gmail, Slack, Notion → Every risky action needs your approval first The part Grokbot can't match: Grokbot locks you into one model and burns tokens fast. This uses the Claude login you already have. One assistant in one chat box was version 1. A named team of agents, each with a job and a computer? That's version 2. And it just went free.

  @Google I have a complaint. Many times, if not all the time, when I click links inside of @gmail , I've noticed that it does not go directly to the link address. It does a Google search for the link address. This is usually not an issue, though I wonder why you guys do this.

  SpaceXAI just shipped something more interesting than another model bump: AI agents with their own cloud computer, running 24/7, that sign into your actual tools instead of just talking about them. It's called Grok Bot, launched today in beta. Not a chat window. Not a workflow builder you have to configure first. You message it like a coworker, hand it a job, and it goes and does the job inside the real apps, including ones with no API or MCP integration at all. That last part is the actual unlock. Most agent products stall on integration coverage. This one gets around it by giving the Bot its own machine and letting it operate software the way a person would, clicking through the UI. Sales Bots researching accounts overnight and drafting outreach in a rep's own voice. An ops Bot processing invoices out of Gmail and seating new hires. An engineering Bot reproducing a bug, filing the ticket, then handing the fix to a separate debugging Bot. That handoff piece matters more than it sounds. Bots can message each other, share context in threads, sit together in a group chat and divide work without you playing relay. One person running a "chief of staff" Bot on top of several specialist Bots, instead of babysitting five separate agent windows. Guardrails are real, not decorative. Anything that sends, pays, deletes, publishes, or touches production still needs your approval. That's the part that makes "always-on and unsupervised" believable instead of alarming. It's in beta today on desktop and iOS, bundled into SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra ($200/mo), and Cursor Teams Premium ($120/seat/mo). Enterprise is waitlist only for now. Zoom out and this is the real story: SpaceXAI isn't launching a feature, it's trying to own the layer above the chat window entirely. Connectors landed in July. Grok Build hit 1.0 August 7. Grok Bot drops four days later. That's not a coincidence, that's a company assembling a stack on purpose. The open question is whether "sign in and click around like a human" holds up at scale the way clean API integrations do, or whether it becomes the thing that breaks first when five apps update their UI in the same week.
