  After doing this. I just realized. Most of you don’t see success in this. Cause you don’t actually deserve it You post 1 -2 videos per month ( low quality btw ) You generate visuals before voice overs ( your voice would be saying A. While your visuals will be on B ( inconsistent) You post 100 niches in 1 channel. You actually do not have a niche. You just keep copying viral videos and posting on your channel You just do not have any volume ( you have 4-5 videos not doing well. And already. Your tiny mind starts talking about. Some. Proxy , shadow ban? Old Gmail, New Gmail. all these just not to blame yourself for the failure that you are. Your dashboard is data. Low ctr. Below 3-4 = Thumbnail Huge drop in the first 30 secs = Hook problem Huge drops in some sections of the video = Pacing problem Low Avd : Your story sucks

  Pearl AI (@heypearlai) reported 3 minutes ago

  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.

  GROKBOT JUST MADE AI TEAMS STUPIDLY EASY TO BUILD. But after 20 minutes of testing it, I hit the problem that could kill the whole idea. Why Grokbot is interesting: → Telegram-style interface for managing entire AI teams → Give different bots different roles, including a CEO bot → Agents get their own computers in the cloud → Connect tools like Gmail with a couple of clicks → No Mac Mini, terminal setup, API gymnastics, or local model decisions Where it falls apart: ✓ My supposed week-long trial ran out of usage credits in roughly 20 minutes ✓ Computer use burned through tokens while struggling with a simple CAPTCHA ✓ You're currently locked into Grok rather than choosing Claude/local models ✓ It's not open source, so pricing, limits, and model access aren't under your control My current AI agent ranking: ClaudeBot: 3/10 looking back Hermes Agent: 6–7/10 Grokbot: 6/10 Grokbot wins on simplicity. Hermes wins on control. If Grokbot can fix the usage limits without destroying that simplicity, this gets VERY interesting.

  CyberSignal | Cybersecurity News (@XQOPTRX) reported 15 minutes ago

  @saen_dev Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’d frame it too. Right now, prompt injection is still the more common entry point I’m seeing in published enterprise research. The tool-call side becomes more interesting once the agent already has access to things like SharePoint, Gmail, Drive, CRM, APIs, or internal search. That’s where the risk changes from “the model said something weird” to: the agent retrieved something sensitive and then used a legitimate tool to move or expose it. We’ve already seen researchers demonstrate this kind of chain with Copilot and connected services, but I wouldn’t say widespread real-world tool-call exfiltration is proven yet. Public evidence there is still much thinner than prompt-injection activity. So my current view is: Prompt injection is the entry vector. RAG, memory and tool permissions are the blast-radius multipliers. Once an agent can read data, retain context, call tools and communicate externally, the real security problem becomes much more about authorization and data flow than the model itself.

  @XMoney @Support @Premium Need a human to clear the incorrect country flag on my account please so I can complete X Money onboarding. Account country was wrongly set to Barbados (I’ve never been there). I live in Oregon, USA and already updated the setting to United States. I have the Money tab in the sidebar + profile, plus invitations in Gmail. Clicking “Get started” in the email or the Money tab both give the same error: “we are currently only allowing US customers.” Phone support (888-606-9669) collected my SSN and DOB, then told me to use a non-existent “X Money app” and hung up.

  Hey @TeamYouTube I woke up today with a disabled Gmail account caused by an error in your system. For context, I currently live in Colombia, but returned to the U.S. for about a month. When I returned to Colombia, I needed to re-sign in to my Google account to sign into YouTube. Your system prompted me to change my Password due to 'Suspicious Behavior' which I assume is due to the IP address change or something like this. So I changed my password, logged in, and everything was fine. This morning my Gmail account was disabled, which is also tied to my YouTube. I am certain this was done in error as I have not violated any Google policies. If you could look into this, I'd really appreciate it.

  People have been asking about the kinds of things I’ve been utilizing Grok Bot for as an average joe. I’ve posted elsewhere, but I’ll park some of it here for context of what someone who can’t use it on work systems (restricted from doing so) sees as a real use case for AGI: - Search for and book plane international first class (lay flat) tickets utilizing best award redemptions. (It found them, and were now going to Japan) - Dispute a significant Lexis Nexis error with supporting documents that reside in my email. - Provide me a policy analysis hourly based on various publicly available congressional bills and documents - Go into my AT&T bill and average my family’s monthly usage across 14 devices and see if it can negotiate a lower rate or see if I’m being overcharged (it found a lower rate and grabbed it) - Clean and organize my gmail inbox of 40,000 emails, and unsubscribe me from spam Granted, most of this stuff is not going to be done on a regular basis. Particularly the email organization. But these are the types of things that new general users are going to want to do. And if they run out of compute while doing it in the first few hours, they’re going to be more unlikely to resubscribe.

  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.

  @BkashJosi @bot Treat this as two separate logins: Gmail OAuth and model/provider access. If Cursor is asking for payment, that is not a Gmail problem. Verify the exact Cursor/Grok account has the right plan, get one provider working first, then add Gmail/Calendar last.

  Wild Gmail experience this week. I added a TXT DNS verification record to our return path subdomain (marketbeat dot analyst ratings dot net) in Cloudflare to add it to Google Postmaster Tools. Somehow that caused Gmail to think our CNAME record for that subdomain which points to SendGrid has no valid SPF record. Gmail starts blocking about 30% of our messages because they had no valid SPF record and weren't validated. Took about 36 hours to figure out. I removed the new TXT record and the issue fixed itself within an hour.

  I need help from anyone who's knowledgeable about Gmail or email systems. A while ago, I started receiving Microsoft sign in verification codes for logins I never initiated. As a precaution, I changed my password and later cleaned up my Gmail by unsubscribing from a lot of email subscriptions. Ever since then, I've stopped receiving important emails from my bank and a few other companies. I've contacted their support teams, and they've confirmed everything is set up correctly on their end, but the emails still aren't reaching me. I've tried resubscribing where possible, but nothing has changed. Has anyone experienced something like this before or knows what could be causing it? I'd really appreciate any advice.

  I used to think “agents in group chats” were a gimmick. Now I think the bigger problem is that too much strategy still lives in my head, and too many useful skills are too messy or sensitive to share cleanly. That’s what changed my mind. I’m starting to think a multiagent should become the default workspace for our growth team. Not because Slack or gmail are unusable. They’re just very good at holding messages, and not that good at holding work. What I actually want is one place where people can @ my Codex directly to ask positioning and strategy questions. A lot of the time the problem is not execution. It’s that people are operating on slightly different versions of what I want. For example, yesterday my growth team Mengyao and Alyssa pulled me into a meeting to ask what I meant by doing a small creator push for Okeight. Actually they could just ask my codex That kind of nuance gets lost constantly if the only interface is “ask Monica in a meeting.” And honestly, I also forget to sync strategy changes fast enough. Sometimes I change my mind on priorities, or realize an angle is wrong, or want to shift the goal slightly, and I just forget to tell everyone in time. Then different people are working off different versions of the strategy. Nothing is fully broken, but the team drifts. I also want the group to automatically turn the past week of work into a real weekly report. I’ve tried asking people to write trackers before, and it’s painful for everyone. Not everyone is trained to produce polished internal docs, and more importantly, they shouldn’t have to spend time doing that just to prove work happened. What I actually want from a weekly report is: - what worked - what didn’t - what content performed unusually well - whose priorities are off - where output quality is weak - which direction feels wrong That should be inferred from the work, not manually reconstructed afterward. Then there’s the skill-sharing problem. Some of the most useful internal skills are hard to share directly because they expose too much. Sometimes sharing a deep skill means exposing keys. Sometimes it means exposing messy internal setup. Sometimes it’s just too complicated to package cleanly. I built a pretty complex video editing skill recently, and it made this very obvious. In theory I want that capability to be reusable. In practice, sharing it cleanly is hard, and sharing it carelessly is dangerous. I also keep running into a simpler but equally stupid problem: the context already exists somewhere, but I forget to attach it. For example, Mengyao ran a Reddit reply test recently, and the doc from that experiment has a huge amount of signal in it. It could shape product direction, growth direction, and a lot of downstream decisions. But when I’m talking to Codex about strategy, I still sometimes forget to include it. That is such a stupid failure mode. I used to think “agents in group chats” were a toy. Now I increasingly think a lot of teams do not need a smarter agent first. They need a workspace where the agent is already sitting inside the context, absorbing strategy changes as they happen, and using the shared work without everyone manually re-explaining it. We’re going to test this internally for real. I’ll report back next month with what worked, what was annoying, and what turned out to be fake.

  Thirteen minutes, seven mcp servers, prices from $500 to $15,000, and not one second on what permissions you're asking the client for five of the seven connect to systems the client owns, not yours. that's the part worth slowing down on 2:28 — prospecting. "find me 50 med spas in phoenix with 5 to 20 employees, get me the owner's name and email." lead lists at $500 to $1,500 3:28 — shopify. full store build, $10k to $15k invoice 4:32 — klaviyo. build segments, create campaigns. those are writes into the email list a business earns from 6:12 — dataforseo and search console. audits at $500 to $1,500. read only, and the safest one on the list 7:16 — meta ads. "you're spending $4,000 a month and $1,200 of it is doing nothing. want me to fix that?" the fix is a write 8:20 — quickbooks. their books 9:28 — gmail, calendar, drive. drafts replies. $750 to $1,500 a month at 10:00 she asks the right question herself. every owner can already log into quickbooks and meta ads manager, so why do agencies bill millions her answer is judgment, and she's right. but the thing being sold isn't judgment, it's the client handing over write access to their books and their ad account thirteen minutes on what these servers can do, zero on what scope you asked for. that's the whole conversation nobody in this niche is having yet

  how to plan a full AI product without the chaos (wayfinder by @mattpocockuk ) in <30 Steps : 1. start with one concrete outcome, not a vague idea 2. weak: "build an AI sales tool". clear: "founder connects gmail, agent finds qualified convos, drafts follow ups, asks approval before sending" 3. that one sentence becomes the filter for every decision after it 4. most vibe coded builds skip this and start typing prompts immediately 5. 3 days in the database model has already changed twice 6. onboarding has 4 different half built versions 7. the agent has no clear boundaries on what it can and cant do 8. frontend is stuck waiting on backend decisions that were never made 9. claude ends up rewriting code it shipped yesterday 10. wayfinder's fix: work backwards from the destination and list every open question blocking it 11. for an AI product that means asking what data the agent can access 12. where does company context actually live 13. what can the agent execute without a human in the loop 14. how does a user inspect the agent's reasoning after the fact 15. how do retries and failures get handled 16. what counts toward paid usage 17. each open question becomes a ticket instead of a random note in a doc somewhere 18. some tickets block 5 others sitting behind them 19. example: you need to define agent access before you can design approvals, logs, or permissions 20. wayfinder surfaces which questions can actually be solved right now 21. that's the frontier. claude gets one clear next decision instead of grabbing the easiest feature in the repo 22. every ticket gets tagged HITL or AFK 23. HITL is founder judgement or a real business tradeoff, pricing lives here 24. AFK is research claude can run alone off docs, APIs, the codebase, oauth limits live here 25. one session resolves one decision and updates the map. nothing more 26. resolving gmail scopes usually reveals the approval rules 27. approval rules reveal the activity log 28. the activity log reveals the database model 29. claude keeps the reasoning attached to each decision so the next session isnt guessing why something was built that way 30. once the fog clears run /to-spec then /to-tickets and split remaining work into things agents can run in parallel Hope this helps !

  OPEN IT ON A PHONE Desktop Gmail ignores the code that makes email responsive. Your mobile layout works everywhere except one of the biggest inboxes on earth. TURN ON DARK MODE Some inboxes keep your colours. Some invert them. Some invert half. Your background and your text can move in opposite directions. CHECK YOUR IMAGES One wrong character in an image address and every recipient sees a broken box. Nobody tells you. The email just goes out broken. SEND IT ANYWAY Because the deadline was yesterday, and it looked fine in the preview.

  STOP Using "Sign in with Google" for EVERYTHING!!! Your google account may be connected to far more than just gmail. cloud tools, business accounts, developer platforms, documents, and even services that make you money can all depend on the same login. That convenience can create a single point of failure. If your google account is ever suspended, compromised, or lost, recovering access to everything connected to it can become a much bigger problem than you expect. For important accounts, avoid relying on google as your only login method. use unique passwords, 2fa, recovery methods, and backup admin access whenever possible. Also check your google account connections and remove third-party apps you no longer recognize or use.

  But it will slow them down. The best practices are honed ones. Salted email is sorta okay for Gmail but I'm not sure if other providers allow that. Keeping your real name disassociated with your online profiles is a Best Practice.

  Tern sync used to take ~20 seconds. Now it's roughly one 🫡 The trick was asking for less. Before, every check would fetch folder lists, old threads and a pile of mailbox data that hadn't changed at all. Now Tern just asks "what's new?" It grabs the latest mail, pulls in what's needed and gets out of the way. The heavy stuff (folder structure, backfilling old mail) happens quietly in the background. It also adapts to what you're doing: Looking at it? Checks every 5 seconds Inactive tab? Slows down to save battery New mail mid-check? Checks again straight away Gmail, Outlook and IMAP all sync in parallel, so multiple accounts still feel like one inbox. Small change on paper. But the inbox finally feels alive 👀
