  I don't want to sound like an AI alarmist, but I increasingly think AI in the hands of engineers will lead to a devastating world. And the key point here being "in the hands of engineers". This might sound controversial. I would be the first to, in fact, say that engineers still need to be involved in implementing AI. That true agentic experiences are nearly impossible without involvement of engineering. But the more I run into walls with products at some of the most skilled engineering companies (xAI, Google), the more I realize that engineers are just not suitable to govern this powerful resource. In the same way, that engineers are not suitable to govern Customer Support, or Sales Development. An engineer might built a product and a successful company with a customer support. But that customer support cannot be successful and be managed directly by the said engineer. Same with AI. Consider my own recent situation. I got locked out from an old gmail account that I haven't checked in a long time. I have the password; I have the recovery email address. I went through all the steps required to confirm my identity, and was still denied access. Or another recent experience running ads on X. Somehow the system decided that my ads violated their terms (they did not). A duplicated ad got flagged for the same issue. The account is now flagged for life, and there is no recourse. While these are not the fault of AI, and AI can certainly be modified to better handle edge cases, the bigger problem is higher up in the food chain. The problem with treating AI as just another function in the overall user experience, is the misunderstanding of what AI is competing with. When engineering perceive the value of AI, the intrinsic motivation: efficiency and automation. Engineering does not want to deal with the problem, so AI is introduced to automate the solution. But this is an entirely wrong way to think about it. And it is precisely the type of thinking that leads to a Gmail account owner not being able to authenticate into his (my) own account. The right way, in fact, should be to think of AI as a replacement for a person. And a replacement for a person, while a form of automation, is not necessarily about efficiency. In some cases, the AI replacement should actually be plenty inefficient. For instance, when an edge case situation is evaluated. A support ticket comes for a previously automated decision. Efficiency was already applied. To then re-apply the same efficiency, engineers are creating the decision maker and the judge in one body. Dumb AI is a decision maker, the judge, and the executor. That's not how it should be. Some form of AI should always be allowed to have larger freedom to self-correct. And frankly, freedom is not how engineers tend to think about systems they want to control. And how do I know all this? Because I am an engineer.

  three separate systems are scoring your store right now and most operators only watch one of them 1. your payment processor scores you on disputes. cross the threshold and it holds your payouts 2. your inbox provider scores you on spam complaints. cross 0.3% and gmail stops delivering you, calculated daily 3. your marketplace scores you on returns, cancellations and on-time delivery. miss those and TikTok can reserve up to 70% of settled funds none of these is a ban. none of them involves a human deciding you did something wrong. they're all ratios, evaluated continuously, and you cross them without being notified here's the part worth sitting with: all three are downstream of the same upstream cause slow shipping creates item-not-received disputes, which moves number one. it creates frustrated customers who mark your "where is my order" email as spam, which moves number two. and it directly blows your on-time delivery rate, which is number three one operational weakness, three separate scoreboards, and the failure shows up in whichever one is closest to its limit which is why fulfillment speed isn't a customer service line item. it's the single input that every governance system you operate under is quietly measuring fix the parcel and three dashboards improve at once

  @ThornRavencroft Now the problem is powered by AI. I need to step up my de-Googling efforts. I finally built my server and have my own cloud, I'm using my own aggregate search engine, and I'm on my way with a new proton email, but my "professional" work Gmail let this slip through.

  Hello @Support @biswajitroy2009 has been compromised or hacked. The registered email was changed without the owner's authorization, and login codes are now being sent to an unknown Gmail address. The owner still has access to the original registered email and has already raised a support case with X. The recovery form now says the original case is already in the queue. @Support — please review the existing case and help restore access to the rightful owner.

  I got hacked and lost access to @baseapp with around $7K in total losses. Last night someone on Telegram messaged me saying he could build a website for $MCPCAT. I agreed and later he sent me a PDF. I downloaded it but didn’t even open it. I went to sleep around 1 AM. Around 2 PM my friends called me asking if I had removed the liquidity. I woke up, turned on my laptop, and noticed it kept shutting down. Then my friend told me someone had removed the liquidity from $MCPCAT. When I tried to log into Baseapp on my phone I realized that all 4 Gmail accounts logged into my laptop had been compromised. Someone also tried to access my X, but thankfully, they couldn’t get in because of 2FA. Right now I’ve lost access to my Gmail and Baseapp. I’ve mail @Google and I really hope they can help me recover everything. My main Baseapp wallet is still logged in on my phone but I need a verification code sent to my Gmail to make any transaction and I no longer have access to it. If anyone can help me recover access I’m willing to pay 500 USDC. After I posted about being hacked some people started saying I rugged. I want to make this clear: I burned every token I received and I also bought $MCPCAT myself and burned it. I didn’t even know I could remove liquidity from @AerodromeFi. If someone had told me I would have locked the liquidity. If I wanted to rug I would have done it at the ATH, not at the lowest point. I’ve also lost around $2K from my own wallet. I’ve given my Dell laptop to a service center to get it checked and fixed. Honestly, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to use that laptop again. After this, I don’t know if I’ll be able to trust people again. I’m even scared to reply to random messages on Telegram. And honestly, I don’t even know if I want to continue in Web3 anymore. 😭 I know how it feels to lose money, and I’m deeply sorry to everyone who lost money because of this. I’m going to do what I can to make things right and refund a portion of the losses from my own money. DM me your transaction hash and holding address. My reply might be late but I’ll get back to everyone and you will receive your refund. 5 years of hard work, gone in one day. 💔

  @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.

  I have been using Grok Bot @bot a lot - 42% of my weekly usage. Here's what I like and don't like so far Things I like: 1. Having agents without needing a Mac Mini or whatever for Hermes or OpenClaw. Being able to talk to the agents from my phone and my laptop and not being tied to one of my own devices 2. It just works (mostly! sorta!) 3. The "pick an option for what I should do" is the correct upgrade for chat bot interface (I loved doing that with my OpenClaw bot on Telegram) There's a lot more that I like: I assigned it a task to help me write a job description for something, and while searching my email for something else, it found a very relevant (and not something I asked for) other email thread - which it incorporated into my results, and that was excellent and appreciated and what I'd expect of a human assistant Things I don't like: 1. My Gmail connector via the MCP kept having issues. Eg: If I tried to write an email with a URL, it replaced the URL with a Google redirect link to that URL fix -- I forced my agents to use Gmail's API and sent them a token for auth 2. The agents are not proactive enough on long-running tasks. For example, I asked my email agent to check my Inbox for receipts every 15 minutes during the work day; it has been over an hour and I haven't heard back from that agent fix -- people say to to "Reset Grok Bot's computer" but I was afraid to do that. But an XAI employee just told me it is safe, and also will be fixed later today, so I am restarting it now 3. The agents get overwhelmed with multiple tasks in thread. The agent gravitates towards the last task mentioned- and not iteratively cranking through and/or following up on multiple items that were discussed example -- Hey, so I'm thinking about X and I want to do this... and then also on XX I want to do this... by the way, what happened to XXX? -- and then it will only action on XXX item 4. The select button options for responses could be improved. I'd love to see multiple-choice options, for example. I think Claude, specifically Claude Design, has really nailed the AskUserQuestion tool and I'd love to see more of that in Grok Bot 5. Web browser tasks are sometimes painfully slow. I made an agent to order french fries from the hamburger place next to my office, and it takes a solid 3-4 minutes for the agent to click through fix -- I tried making a CLI tool using Printing Press and it partially works, except for auth, so I spent about 35 minutes to shave off 2 minutes of order time (lol) Overall: I haven't used my OpenClaw in months and it is has been nice to get back into the agents world with Grok Bot. I will continue playing with it! I am sure the product will keep getting better For now it is not a silver bullet. But it is insanely easy to set up and get started

  Abhijeet (@abhijeetdevv) reported 37 minutes ago

  Built something that's been quietly saving me every morning. An automation that reads my inbox before I do. I work with a US client, which means most bug reports and issues land in my email overnight, while I'm asleep. Used to mean waking up, opening Gmail, reading through everything, mentally triaging what's actually broken before I'd even had coffee. Now an @evedev_ agent connected to my Gmail runs at 8am. Goes through the night's emails, pulls out anything that's actually a reported issue or bug, and posts it into a Slack channel. From there it hands off. Another @cursor_ai agent sitting in that same Slack channel picks up what got posted, and it has access to my GitHub repo. It checks the reported issue against logs, traces it back to the actual code, debugs it, and writes up what it found. By the time I open my laptop, there's a full report waiting: what broke, where, and what the fix looks like. I've only given it read access everywhere. Not because it hasn't been reliable, it has, but because I still want to be the one reviewing and merging anything that touches the codebase. The automation does the investigating, I still make the call. Works better than I expected it to.

  @hfakos @Alonso_GD The sad conclusion: use gmail to reach and be reached by most of people. The one that hinders reachability and rejects mail from private servers. Something similar, or more acute, is the problem with the banks.

  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.
