  These capitalistic tech giants astonish me. They handed me a shiny free Gmail service, stealthily vacuum up my life, then either feed the data into their own next product or sell it to whoever pays. They want a front-row seat to almost everything I do—and then they have the nerve to charge me a subscription for the privilege. Classic move: invent the problem, monetize the “solution.” The whole racket of capitalists is so brazen it almost deserves a ceremonial send-off: wrap the lot of them in their own terms of service and drop them into the deepest trench the ocean has. Anyway. Time to say goodbye to Gmail.

  @deboochatterjee @TutaPrivacy My post was not a commentary on whether to turn off smart features in Gmail. It was a commentary on the ridiculous statement that "privacy is overrated. If you don't have anything to hide then you shouldn't worry about it." It's your attitude that "privacy is overrated" that has allowed companies to get as far as they have, and it's that attitude which will allow us to continue to slide down the slippery slope we're on. "Two out of our three doors are unlocked" is not solved by unlocking the third; it's solved by locking the other two.

  @mdreinders @bdsams It's pretty garbage for work account use cases as well, at least in my case. It nags you daily with summaries, which are basically just prompts that you could have used yourself from the left sidebar or ribbon menu. Copilot in Outlook is really horrible (overall). It can't find emails. It can't make basic changes to the emails I've written. It simply doesn't follow my instructions most of the time. "Can you just fix grammar" > proceeds to rewrite the entire email. Gemini in Gmail is also pretty trash. I do not understand how AI in email can be so bad, as it's a pretty good use case for AI, imho

  1. Find intent before you write anything Grok’s real advantage vs other models is live public X + web search. Use that for signals, not generic “write me a blog.” Ask it to: Pull how your ICP actually describes the problem this week (exact phrases, not marketing-speak). Find posts where people complain about a competitor, ask for alternatives, or announce a relevant hire/launch. Scan a target account’s recent news, jobs, and exec posts and extract 2–3 business priorities you can attach your product to. That language becomes better ads, landing pages, and first lines than anything invented from a persona doc. Treat every list as a research draft and verify people/companies yourself. Starter prompt: “Search X and the web for the last 14 days. Find posts from [title] at [company type] describing [problem you solve] or looking for an alternative to [competitor]. Quote the original language. Score each 1–10 for buying intent. Ignore generic venting.” 2. Build inbound assets that both humans and AIs can cite Website + content still drive a large share of B2B pipeline, and “generative engine optimization” now matters: buyers ask Grok / ChatGPT / Perplexity for software recommendations. Structure pages so an answer engine can extract a clean definition, comparison, and proof. Have Grok: Turn one customer win into a case study, comparison page, implementation guide, and FAQ cluster. Write definition-first sections (“X is…”, “Choose X when…”), question-style H2s, and short self-contained paragraphs. Produce an SEO/GEO brief: primary query, related questions, stats to source, internal links, and a “quotable” 2–3 sentence answer block. Then publish the best facts in crawlable HTML, not only behind a form. Gated PDFs are leads; public HTML is how AIs mention you. I can also turn those briefs into a Word doc, one-pager PDF, or slide deck you can ship. 3. Multiply one asset across the funnel One strong source (webinar transcript, customer interview, product changelog, whitepaper) should become: 1 long-form page 3–5 LinkedIn posts / X threads a 3–5 email nurture ad variants a sales one-pager Grok is good at this if you lock voice and constraints: tone, claims you can legally make, words you never use, CTA by stage. Ask for variants, not one “perfect” draft. Human-edit anything that goes live. 4. Personalize outbound without sounding like a bot Grok does not replace your list, sequencer, or judgment. It is best at research and tightening copy you already have. Workflow that actually works: You pick the account. Paste homepage copy, a press release, two job posts, and a LinkedIn About. Ask for priorities + one specific observation that ties to your offer. Ask for a 20-word opener that references a real detail—or “nothing specific, don’t invent.” You send. Never let it invent titles, emails, or flattery. At a startup, quality of 30 messages beats volume of 3,000. 5. Arm sales so marketing-sourced leads don’t stall Pipeline dies in the handoff. Use Grok to produce: Account briefs the morning of a call Objection handling from real competitor language on X Battle cards and “why us vs them” one-pagers Recap emails from call notes Simple decks for a first meeting If you connect CRM / Gmail / Slack (where available), it can draft in your tools and leave send/update for a human. That is the safe pattern GTM teams are using with Grok Bot-style workflows. 6. Run a weekly operating rhythm, not random chats The teams getting leverage treat Grok like a junior analyst with a standing brief: Monday: competitor and category scan (what changed, what buyers said). Midweek: content and ad variants from one approved source asset. Friday: “what should we test next” from performance notes you paste in. You can also use scheduled Automations so a research prompt runs on a cadence and you wake up to a digest instead of a blank page. What not to do Do not auto-send cold email or LinkedIn from raw Grok output. Do not use generated images as finished brand creative for customer-facing campaigns; they are fine for internal mockups and ideation. Do not treat citations or company facts as final without a source check. Do not optimize only for “more MQLs.” Optimize for meetings and opportunities with your ICP. Highest-leverage first week for a small SaaS team Feed Grok 3 customer calls + your ICP and extract the exact problem language. Rebuild your top 3 high-intent pages (comparison, use-case, pricing/FAQ) so they are quotable. Turn one closed-won story into a case study + LinkedIn series + 4-email sequence. Build a 15-account research pack and personalized openers for outbound. Give sales a one-page “how to talk about us vs [top competitor]” they will actually use. If you tell me your product, ICP (title + company type), and whether you lean inbound or outbound, I can draft the first asset set in this chat—positioning lines, page outline, email sequence, or X/LinkedIn posts—ready for you to edit.

  My Gmail accounts have been compromised, and the recovery process is currently underway. Please be careful and do not trust or respond to any emails, messages, videos, posts, links, or other content that may be sent, uploaded, or shared through my accounts including YouTubes, Facebook's and other SMs during this period. Any such content is not under my control and should not be considered authorized or endorsed by me. I will issue an update as soon as I regain full control of my accounts.

  @ArcyloOfficial Get comfy! For me, my Gmail is a connector. This is OAuth into my inbox. Grok can: • search and read mail (body, headers, attachments) • draft replies • send / reply / forward if you grant write/send • label, trash, organize Base hook is often read-only. Send is an extra permission you click on purpose. If you connect it, the bot is sitting in the same box as bank alerts and 2FA codes. That is the whole risk. You can revoke anytime. Grok Bot can also skip my inbox and get its own address (AgentMail / similar plugins). Then it sends and receives from something@….agentmail.to, not from you. I use that if I want an agent that emails people without reading my personal mail. My GitHub OAuth into the GitHub user I sign in as. With the scopes I approve it can: • read public and private repos that account can see • search code, list branches, summarize PRs • open/update issues • create branches, push files, open/review/merge PRs • delete files if write is on Private repos work only if I granted repo (or equivalent) at connect time. Safer pattern: tell it to branch + PR, not push straight to main. Same revoke page. What it cannot do by default • It does not get your password. • It does not stay logged in if you disconnect the connector. • It does not magically see my GitHub orgs I never authorized. • Connecting email does not connect GitHub, and the other way around. Practical rule for me Do not hook personal Gmail if that inbox has 2FA and money mail unless you want an assistant reading it. GitHub is useful if I chose to still keep repos, ask it to show the diff before any write. If you only wanted “what does this button do,” that is the button: it is not a viewer badge. It is a key you can take back. This is what I’m experiencing with learning to use it. It’s different and I’m starting to like it.

  okay, so i was diving into the rollouts generated by qwen3.5 4B, here are some findings (given model has access to only api_search and api_fetch tool at any given point of time) > model is looking to gather information it needs to address query but ends up burning tokens and exhausts upper cap of 50 turns in getting a query that actually returns functions that can help model clear ambiguity. > in the partially succeeded rollout (score this way was 17), where the model did discover the correct tool, it would eventually fail to solve that particular task, eg. - (sales subset) example id 504: Qwen found and used the correct Salesforce update endpoint. It updated the wrong Marcus Wong. - (sales subset) example id 503: Qwen found and used the CampaignMember endpoint. It enrolled prohibited people because it skipped the policy. - (sales subset) example id 1204: even knowing the Facebook photo endpoint does not tell it which image is eligible; it must retrieve Gmail policy + Sheet rows first. so my takeaway is that entire problem breaks down to two subproblems: 1. tool discovery (has to be token efficient) 2. the core policy i.e. Prompt > infer what information is missing > search for a capability to retrieve it (basically 1st subproblem) > call that capability > interpret returned observation > identify what remains uncertain > retrieve more evidence > choose target(s) > execute minimal writes > verify end state > finish the moment we break the problem, it is clear that it is a variant of computer use problem. the model needs to learn the ReACT loop. that's it. that's the optimization objective.

  This has become a recurring problem. This has happened earlier too (maybe 2 months ago?), and its happening again. Entire businesses run on Whatsapp (I am NOT a proponent of that!) and this kind of an advance hoc review/hold can bring businesses to a standstill! Solution: 1. Move back to good ol' email. 2. For IM and VCs, use Meet/Teams/Zoom. 3. For channels, try Slack. 4. For OTPs, use SMS 5. Want to save on call charges then use the voice call feature on Meet/Teams. There is nothing unique that Whatsapp offers that your life cannot get by without. It's just that we are way too deep in a comfort zone and Zuck is exploring that to the fullest! If you have a damn smartphone then you sure as hell have a Gmail account or you wouldn't have been able to download Whatsapp. So move your arse out from WhatsApp and explore other options.

  Most of the SaaS software we use have a major flaw in them and most people aren't aware of it. I'm not going to breadcrumb you to read the full writeup. The main flaw is that there's no pause button. We can't pause our account. That's it? You might think. But think about all the SaaS software you use on a daily basis, which is almost 100% of all software. Take an example of Gmail workspace. If you've been using it (which is a SaaS), the moment you stop paying, your account access is gone. And if you don't pay the subscription (aka ransom), you lose your data and work. All modern SaaS platforms are aimed at keeping revenue alive. And I understand that economic need. But that doesn't mean I agree with this practice. That is the reason, for all my clients at Sisyphus Consulting, one of the most important filters used in services and advisory is: can we press breaks without losing data? That is one of the problems I wanted to address. So, we launched Self-hosted Software Management service almost a year back. It is our end-to-end service helping businesses setup, scale and maintain their own open source applications and servers. The ability to pause the whole setup, stopping the monthly billing and still retaining ownership of the accumulated data, is one of the things that I'm proud of offering. The interesting matter is that, most of us do not think about this. Because none of the major SaaS providers offer this pause button. What we don't see, we don't think about. Out of sight, out of mind. For example, have you thought about having your free Gmail account emails having physically backed up on your own device or server? I too, hadn't thought about it few years ago. We build our entire work and life around a Gmail account and we don't even think about owning our emails. Almost a year back, finally I switched to Thunderbird, backed up all of 10k+ emails of past decade in a readable, open format. Now I have no worries about Gmail going down tomorrow. It is crazy how many things the modern SaaS business model has taken away from us: ownership, longevity, interoperability and joy of using the same tools for years.

  I think this is a symptom of the "internet" shrinking down to a handful of websites (Facebook, Gmail, X) for most of the population. They're not aware that outside of these walled gardens, everything is pretty much constantly on fire, all the time.

  I once posted the SAME video on 2 freshly created 0-sub channels. Channel 1: 87 impressions Channel 2: 52,330 impressions Only variable: the infrastructure behind it. Here’s what that tells us about YouTube’s algorithm: Your channel carries a score that no one will EVER show you. Think of it like credit at a bank, nobody cares if you pull up in a nice suit and a Richard Mille. They pull your history and decide how much they're willing to lend you. YouTube does the same. A trusted account gets its video in front of a REAL test audience, and if it performs YouTube scales distribution hard. If the account is not trusted, it won’t get shown to anyone, meaning nobody clicks. And when nobody clicks, the algorithm just confirms what it already suspected and moves on. Now here’s what actually feeds that score: → IP reputation and history → Fingerprint consistency across sessions → How the account behaved in week one → Upload velocity → Retention and CTR over time → Whether your engagement looks bought → How long you've stayed in one niche It’s reasonable that people obsess over the bottom half… those are the numbers YouTube Studio shows them. The top half are as important though, yet they’re invisible to the untrained eye So here’s how to spot if your infrastructure sucks: Open your channel's setup and look for anything shared. → Same IP as another channel? → Same browser profile? → Same recovery email? → Same phone number? → Same AdSense? Any of those and the channel isn't isolated. People overcomplicate this but it's simple. YouTube is trying to figure out one thing: "Is this a real separate person, or 1 guy spinning a bunch of accounts?" If your setup looks like one guy wearing 10 masks, you're cooked. A proper setup looks like this: Channel 1 → Profile 1 → IP 1 Channel 2 → Profile 2 → IP 2 Channel 3 → Profile 3 → IP 3 Each channel on its own dedicated residential IP. Not a proxy or a cheap VPN you can find anywhere. That's the whole reason I built @tubeproxies. Every IP is sourced through residential Internet Service Provider networks for one use case only: Faceless YouTube channels. Because nothing is as demanding as YouTube when it comes to IP quality. Then each channel must get its own: → phone number → recovery email → browser fingerprint → login history → normal usage pattern Next you must act normal across all of them: Don't log into Channel 1 from Profile 2 because you were lazy. Don't open your personal Gmail in the same profile. Don't check an old banned channel from the clean browser. Don't use the same SMS number across the portfolio and call it separated. This is how people poison clean channels without realizing it. They buy a good IP, then attach it to a browser that already has ***** history. They make a new Gmail, then add the same recovery email they used on 6 other channels. They get a new phone number, then log in from the same Chrome they used for a terminated account. Then they: → Post for 30 days → Get 0 impressions → Blame content/algo Could be the content. Could even be the algo. But if the infra is messy, YouTube never gave the channel a real test anyway. And if any part of your channel touches another another one such as an old account, a banned account, your personal account, or a reused setup… You must fix it before you upload again. Don't wait until the channel is doing 300k views a day to think about this. That's the worst time to start swapping IPs, emails, phones, browsers and AdSense. Sudden changes look like inauthentic account behavior. Build it clean from day one, then act normal. Browse before uploading. Warm the account up. Don't upload 3 videos in 24h on a fresh channel. Don't log in from Denmark at 9am and Texas at 9:20. Don't make the channel look like a bot farm and then wonder why YouTube treats it like one. The channel with 87 impressions was from a Nigerian IP. The one with 52.3k was a US one.
