  A few weeks ago I realized I had applied to about eight roles and could not tell you, without digging through Gmail, who I had followed up with and who I had forgotten. So I built a Zapier automation to fix it. It logs every application automatically. I BCC myself with a consistent subject line, Zapier catches the copy, uses AI to pull out the company, role, and date, and writes it into a tracking sheet. The harder part was the follow-up logic. A daily check looks at everything still marked "Applied" and only acts on rows sitting past a week. Sounds simple, except Google Sheets returns all rows bundled together, not one at a time. My first few tests compared every application against every date at once and returned nonsense. Had to add a looping step to split rows apart before the date math and filter could evaluate each one properly. Once a row passes that filter, I get a reminder email telling me who to follow up with, and a second AI step drafts the follow-up itself. It does not send automatically though. It lands as a draft. Tracking and remembering are automated. Deciding what actually gets sent to a real person stays with me. Small annoying problem, but it taught me a lot about where automation helps and where it should not go all the way.

  @KEWLV1C @TeamYouTube Yo @KEWLV1C try this The owner should use Google Account Recovery from a device, browser, and location they previously used with that account. Google can use previous passwords, devices, recovery information, and other account history to verify ownership. Do not rely only on the normal login screen if the attacker changed the password or added their own security key. Because the Google account is connected to YouTube, also use YouTube’s hacked-channel recovery process. If the channel is in the YouTube Partner Program, contact YouTube Creator Support as soon as possible. For AdSense, report the account as compromised and gather proof of ownership, including: Original Gmail address YouTube Channel ID and URL AdSense Publisher ID Previous passwords Old recovery email/phone AdSense payment records Bank/payment information Tax documents Old YouTube or AdSense emails Approximate date the hack occurred The hacker having a security key does not prove ownership. It only means they registered another authentication method after gaining access. Once Google restores the account, immediately remove unfamiliar security keys, passkeys, devices, recovery information, and third-party access. Change the password, enable your own 2-Step Verification, and check AdSense payment information for unauthorized changes. The most important thing is to start recovery quickly and preserve screenshots and emails showing what was changed. Trying to help if anyone can get in touch with v1c give him this. He probably has it but every little bit helps.

  @Vertigo_Politix I agree the state will impose itself We would have similar issues with Email, because it's ubiquitous However, "email" is really just Outlook or ProtonMail or Gmail (i.e. web-sites) and they all have central DNS records that could take them out the game, if so desired..

  A domain that has been sending for two years with no obvious problems is not necessarily a healthy domain. It might just be a domain where the problems haven't crossed a visible threshold yet. Reputation decline doesn't announce itself. The ESP metrics stay stable because opens and inbox placement fall at roughly the same rate, keeping the ratio consistent while the absolute performance quietly drops. The campaign that finally underperforms with no explanation is usually the one where the accumulated drift became large enough to show up in results. The founders who find out about reputation problems during a launch or a pricing announcement find out at the worst possible time. The fix takes weeks. The launch already went out. Postmaster takes ten minutes to set up. The data it shows has been accumulating since the first send to a Gmail address. Setting it up today shows you what the last two years of sending actually looked like from Google's side. Some teams set it up and find everything is clean. That confirmation is worth ten minutes. Some teams set it up and find a problem that's been sitting there for eight months. Either way, knowing is better than assuming.

  If you're building a Grok Bot team, I'd start with these six roles. I moved some work from other agent tools into Grok Bot and reassigned ownership. A Bot needs recurring work, its own memory and task list, and regular handoffs. One-off capabilities stay as Skills or routines. 1. Nexus (Coordination) This is the Bot I use most. It reads today's tasks and each Bot's checkpoint, sets priorities, then hands the work to the right role. It also runs the nightly review, but only updates one TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md file. Conflicts, external messages, spending, and changes to important files come back to me. 2. Scout (Research and Leads) Scout reads X, GitHub, documentation, papers, and videos, and runs the daily content radar. Every result needs a source, a reason it is worth following, and a clear next owner. Content signals go to Quill, customer leads go to Guide, and technical issues go to Forge. 3. Quill (Content) Quill reads my writing rules, previous work, and approved phrasing, then turns research into posts, articles, and replies. When facts are missing, it asks Scout. For code or product details, it asks Forge. It prepares drafts but never publishes on its own. 4. Forge (Engineering and Automation) Forge writes code, builds automations and MCPs, deploys, and verifies the result. Guide can call it when a customer asks a technical question. Nexus can hand it repetitive work to turn into a tool. Every delivery needs test results, screenshots, or files I can inspect. A delivery does not count as complete without that evidence. 5. Guide (Customers and Delivery) Guide manages customers, prospects, briefs, feedback, delivery, and follow-up. Each important customer gets a separate context packet containing recent conversations, current goals, promises made, and open problems. Guide asks Scout to research a company or contact, and asks Forge for technical answers. Customer emails and messages remain drafts. 6. Ledger (Finance and Reconciliation) Ledger reads Wise, PayPal, invoices, and subscription data through my self-hosted MCP, then handles reconciliation, revenue records, and anomaly alerts. The real API keys stay on my own server. Ledger can prepare payment or refund recommendations, but every financial write still needs my approval. Once the roles are set, give each Bot the Plugins it needs. For example, Nexus can use Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and Granola. Quill can read Drive and Notion. Guide can use Gmail, Slack, and meeting notes. Forge can connect to code repositories and cloud services. Ledger continues to use my self-hosted MCP. Repeated methods become Skills. Work that needs to run on a schedule becomes a routine. That creates a basic loop: Plugins provide data and tools → a Skill defines the method → a routine triggers on schedule → the Bot completes the task or hands it to another Bot → I approve external messages, publishing, and financial actions For example, Guide's heartbeat checks the customer inbox on a schedule. When a new email arrives, the Gmail Plugin reads the full thread. Guide then opens that customer's context packet to see what was discussed before and what is currently blocked. If the email contains a technical question, Guide asks Forge to verify the answer. Once Forge replies, Guide writes the email draft and labels it: BOT DRAFT · NOT SENT · HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED Nexus adds the email to my pending report and reminds me that a customer reply needs review. The email is sent only after I approve it. I wouldn't create separate Bots for meeting prep, 1:1 reviews, data analysis, revenue forecasting, slides, or call reviews. Meeting prep and 1:1 reviews are Nexus routines. Ledger or Guide can run forecasting and data analysis when needed. Slides are a Skill called by Quill or Forge. Scout finds prospects, and Guide handles the follow-up. Bot = owns an ongoing work queue and needs its own memory Skill = a reusable method Routine = a task triggered on a schedule Packet = context for one customer or project Connector / MCP = access to external data and tools I start new capabilities as Skills. Once something has recurring work, its own state, and frequent handoffs with other Bots, then I create a Bot for it. This takes me back to the OpenClaw setup I built six months ago. I used almost the same roles then, but had to wire the whole thing together myself across a VPS, Vercel, and Supabase. The part I wanted most was smooth coordination: Bots messaging each other in the background, handing off tasks, and talking in a group. I spent way too many hours trying to make that work and probably lost some hair over it lol. The UX was still clunky. Six months later, bigger companies are moving into this space. They’re treating coordination as part of the product, which is a very different route from the DIY agent stacks I was building. Grok Bot’s group chats still aren’t perfect, but the handoffs and background messaging already feel much more natural.

  SOMEBODY AT ANTHROPIC WROTE THE GUIDE THAT KILLS THEIR OWN $200 PLAN AND SHIPPED IT TO THE PUBLIC COOKBOOK, 122,500 TOKENS OF NOISE PER QUERY AND THREE LINES OF PYTHON THAT DROP IT TO $20 00:12 the header flips red, WINDOW OVERFLOWED, and one line resolves at the bottom of the frame, "you are almost certainly on layer 2, the model never read 98% of what you paid to send it" slack, gmail, drive, the crm and 31,440 repo files stream 1.9 million tokens at a 200,000 window, signal holds at 18,000 and noise at 122,500, anthropic's own team named this context rot and shipped the fix into their public cookbook raw dump = 140,500 tokens, $2.11, 47s per run -> RETRIEVE k=20, rerank, keep 4 -> 82,300 tokens, $1.24, 31s -> COMPACT old turns to decisions, drop transcripts -> 34,800 tokens, $0.52, 19s -> CLEAR used tool output -> 18,000 tokens, $0.27, 11s -> same answer, 8x cheaper, 4x faster i ran it against my own stack for a week and counted what actually landed in the final answer, 20 chunks retrieved, 4 survived the rerank, 0 got cited, 0 got verified against source, 0 triggered a human check, that last column is the part nobody screenshots my take and it's the arguable one: every account arguing about graph engineering this month is stuck on layer 2 and paying $200 a month to prove it, the same work runs on a $20 plan the second those three lines are in the pipeline the window is open, follow and bookmark before it closes

  The King (@Youtube_pr0) reported 29 minutes ago

  “This channel is dead.” I hear this way too often. A channel isn’t necessarily dead just because it stopped getting views. There are 3 completely different things people call a “dead channel.” 1. INACTIVE You stopped uploading for months. That’s not death. You simply stopped giving YouTube and your audience new content to respond to. 2. MISALIGNED Your channel built an audience for one type of content… then you suddenly changed the niche. Now your existing viewers aren’t interested in the new videos. That’s an audience mismatch, not necessarily a dead channel. 3. ACTUALLY UNDERPERFORMING You’ve consistently published quality content. You’ve tested different topics. You’ve improved your thumbnails and titles. You’ve studied retention. And after a meaningful number of attempts, YouTube still isn’t finding an audience for the content. That’s when I’d consider starting fresh. But here’s the mistake: Someone gets 30 views. Panics. Deletes everything. Creates a new Gmail. Starts another channel. Gets 40 views. Then says: “YouTube hates my account.” 😭 Bro, you didn’t have a dead channel. You had a strategy that hadn’t worked yet. Before you abandon a channel, ask: Is the channel dead… or is the content? Those are two VERY different problems. So says the King. 👑

  @BitcoinNewsCom I’m calling bullshit on this story. First, there’s zero proof or screenshots to back up the original claim. All you’ve done is repost the original story with your take. Second, everyone knows how strict Google is. You so much as even look at your Gmail inbox wrong Google practically sends a swat team to your hours to make you verify your login. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, is gaining access to another Google account without the person knowing. There would be pop ups, notifications, confirmations sent to the user through their Google apps that are already installed on their devices. Third, what does a “compromised Google account” have to do with a crypto exchange? You’re telling me that this person used the exact same password as their “compromised Google account” and the exchange somehow approved the unusual login and large withdrawal without question even with the new Australian crypto regulations? Lol, okay sure.
