The DreamCode Oracle (@TheDreamOracle) reportedDear Mrs. Collins, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed by email alone. Since you state my funds are being legally held at your New York branch, I would prefer to handle this in person. Please provide the complete legal name of the bank, the physical street address of the branch where my funds are held, the branch telephone number, your banking license information, and the account reference. I will independently verify all of this through publicly available records before visiting the branch myself. Once there, I will present identification, establish ownership of the account, and request that the funds be released directly to me by cashier's check or transferred into my personal bank account. This avoids unnecessary fees, intermediaries, and security risks associated with communicating through Gmail or Outlook email addresses rather than an official bank domain. I have never done business with your institution, so I hope you understand my caution. If the funds genuinely belong to me and are already in your custody, there should be no issue resolving this face-to-face through normal banking procedures. I look forward to receiving the verified branch information so I can arrange my visit.

Marko, email wiz (@Markoemailwiz) reportedDriver 3: List hygiene. Dead subscribers don't just do nothing. They actively drag your placement down. Anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days is telling Gmail you're skippable.

Nick Kramer (@Nick_Kramer91) reportedA few years ago I built a small tool because I kept losing work inside Gmail: follow-ups, client notes, tiny tasks, project updates. All the things that sit between email threads, docs, spreadsheets, and memory. At first it was just for me. Then friends tried it, and after sometime a few teams. That was when the small details became harder to ignore. People adopt a tool because it fits the way they already work. Not becasue the demo is clever. I see the same thing with AI tools now. A prototype can look great in a demo, but Monday still starts in Gmail, spreadsheets, Slack, docs, calls, and half-finished notes. If the tool does not fit there, it becomes one more place people have to remember. For me, this started with a small task board inside Gmail. The same lesson applies to AI copilots, CRM updates, document workflows, and internal automation. Adoption usually comes down to something very ordinary: Does the tool understand the real work well enough that people keep using it after the demo?

Arthur verboon (@ArthurVerboon) reported@svnee Is the statement of grok true? It’s passed today, yeah. The European Parliament has extended the temporary regulation (Chat Control 1.0) until April 2028. It was a weird vote — 314 against, 276 for — but because they needed an absolute majority of 361 to block it, it went through. How it works: it remains voluntary and server-side. It only applies to apps where the provider can already read the messages anyway — think Instagram DMs, Messenger, Gmail, Snapchat, Discord. They do hash-matching on known CSAM and some AI for new stuff. Real end-to-end encrypted chats (like Signal, or the default E2EE in WhatsApp) are explicitly excluded. They can’t and aren’t allowed to scan those. The big mandatory version with possible client-side scanning on your phone, that fight is still ongoing.

MEF Solutions (@mef_solutions) reported2/ The AI rated a Fortune 500 prospect as 12/100 while giving a college student's Gmail account 94/100. This isn't an algorithm problem, it's a data foundation problem. Garbage in, garbage out.

Inference Engine (@iedaily_) reportedRay-Ban Meta glasses are good and all, but it's high time they address these problems: 1. No live video analysis. The glasses take a picture, process it, and then return. Feels slow compared to Gemini. 2. App ecosystem is limited. Yes, you can connect Gmail and Calendar, but the glasses should connect to a host of apps, with devs given the option to build for it. 3. Finally, the AI needs to improve, with better answering and memory to remember context from previous conversations.

Abhishek Sharma (@abhi100425) reported5/ The real fix: stop relying on the web server. Route email through SMTP so every message carries proof of identity (SPF and DKIM). That's what tells Gmail and Outlook the email really came from your domain.

Dark Web Informer (@DarkWebInformer) reported🚨 Opera GX flaw let malicious sites auto-install mods and steal data from visited pages Researchers found a flaw in Opera GX that allowed a malicious website to silently install a GX Mod without clicks or approval prompts. The issue turned Opera GX’s cosmetic mod system into a universal CSS injection path, letting attacker-controlled CSS follow the victim across websites. In a proof of concept, researchers reconstructed a signed-in user’s full Gmail address from a single visit by leaking page data piece by piece through CSS requests. Opera says there is no evidence the flaw was exploited in the wild and patched the issue in Opera GX version 130.0.5847.89. No CVE was assigned, but Opera’s bug bounty team rated it P1 and paid the maximum $5,000 award. “Just styling” is a lot less harmless when it can follow you across the browser.

Michel Lieben (@MichLieben) reportedYou can turn a raw list of names into verified emails without ever logging into a single data provider. Start with the problem. You've built a list of people to reach: names, companies, maybe a LinkedIn link. What you're missing is the one thing you need to contact them, their email. Finding it is enrichment. No single provider has everyone. Each one builds its database its own way, so one covers a big slice of your list and has nothing on the rest. Bet everything on one tool and you leave half your list on the floor. So you don't. You stack providers cheapest to most expensive and run them in order. The cheap one clears most of the list for pennies. Everyone it misses falls to the next provider, then the next. The expensive aggregator only ever touches the few names nobody else could find. That's the waterfall. Each source catches what the one above it dropped, and your cost stays low because the priciest tool barely runs. Verify every email before you send. Skip it and it costs you: a dead address bounces, and enough bounces train Gmail to file you under spam. An unverified guess is worse than an empty cell. Set it up once in Claude Code, the provider order and a spend cap, then point the agent at your list. It runs the whole cascade, verifies every address, stops at your cap, and gives you one clean file. Every row comes back with the email, the source that found it, and whether it cleared verification. The few nobody could place get flagged, so you skip them and move on. Starting it was the only part that needed you.

David Huang 👻🖋️🚢 (@davidihuang) reportedI spend 60 to 90 minutes every day reading and responding to emails. One complex email can take a whole hour: This is why I am building an Email Concierge agent. AI personalizes each response while I focus on observing classes and coaching teachers. School leaders do not think about delegating their inbox because decision-making has become so automatic in their brain. They cannot imagine anyone else handling it. The problem is that school leaders have much better things to do than answer emails all day, and they should not be tied down to their inbox. ~ Responding to an email for a school leader is not a 1-step process. It is actually an 8-step process. • Locate the email • Read the email • Locate the context of the email: is it from a meeting, which department, what is the ask, who needs to be involved • Research source documents: student handbook, employee handbook, tech sheets, FAQs • Recommend a response • Draft the first response • Place the draft in Gmail drafts • Optional: update project pages School leaders who rely on memory do this fast. They also become the bottleneck for their whole team. ~ Here are 3 examples of AI agents leveraging 3 different skills in this sequence: Context locator: The AI agent learns to locate context first. Where did this email come from? What department? What is the ask? Who needs to be looped in? Research Assistant: Then it searches source documents. Handbooks, FAQs, hundreds of reference sheets. The information is already there. The leader just should not have to be the one digging for it every time. Q&A Generator: It uses a Q&A skill trained on past responses to mimic the leader's thought process, priorities, and decision-making framework, and then proposes a first response. Each skill is built on the leader's experience and the information on the organization ~ In the beginning, human checkpoints are installed after each step. After several iterations and quality control, I slowly remove the human elements, allowing the agent to take on more and more steps on its own. Until the last step. I check every draft response, and I click send. A school leader is responsible for every email sent from their email address. ~ It took me a whole week to build all the skills, related documents, nd the AI agent to use the skill. And it is already paying dividends. The same complicated emails that would take me 45-60 minutes now take 5-10 minutes. • I don't go dig through previous emails • AI assistant locates the exact page on the handbook • Previously, Q&A responses are pulled directly from the library. ~ And this is only the beginning of what a personal AI agent can do. Follow me if you want more step-by-step guides to multiply your impact.

Chris Lang (@ChrisLangSocial) reportedSo the #1 thing I'm seeing with Shopify brands right now, and I've diagnosed this twice just in the last month, is that your emails aren't even landing anymore. They're going to spam and you don't know it because your open rates look totally fine. And here's why they look fine. The machines open everything now. Everything. Apple Mail, Gmail, all of it, they pre-load your emails on their own servers before a human ever looks at it, so that open rate you're staring at, half of it's a ghost. It's not real. It's telling you everything's good while your clicks fall off a cliff and your revenue falls right behind it. So you're sitting there thinking it's your content, thinking you gotta write better subject lines, and it's not that at all. Here's what's actually happening. Those fake opens are hiding the fact that half your list is dead. And when you keep mailing dead subscribers because the numbers look fine, Gmail watches that, decides your mail is unwanted, and starts dumping you straight into spam. Your reputation craters and you never even saw it coming. That's why so many brands got quietly wrecked this spring. Wider sends, less engaged lists, and Gmail cracked down hard. And I'll tell you the part nobody wants to hear. Your agency didn't catch this because they get paid to send, they don't get paid to land. Big difference. So go pull your last 10 campaigns right now. If your opens are steady but your clicks just died, you're not boring, baby, you're invisible. Nobody's even seeing you.

BDazz | Brandon (@BrandonBDazz) reported@mistressdivy It varies where it’s coming from because it could be a data transfer issue (try again when next email comes) or the sender ignores it and emails you again for whatever purpose. You can look through the ‘manage subscriptions’ in gmail to see all the emails you’re subscribed to.

Vladic (@Vladic_ETH) reportedOPENAI SHIPPED GPT-5.6 AND CHATGPT WORK. THE REAL WEAPON IS PRICE, NOT IQ. OpenAI shipped two things today. One of them is a costume change. GPT-5.6 landed as three models. ChatGPT Work is a new agent on top. The feeds say "new agent does your work." The real launch is the price sheet. Sol, the flagship, costs $5 per million input tokens and $30 output. That's not flagship pricing. That's what you paid for a mid-tier model a year ago. The gate half the feeds skipped Context first. Two weeks ago the US government cut GPT-5.6 access down to a small group of vetted partners over national security. The gate held about 12 days. Restrictions lifted July 8, public release July 9. Same day SpaceXAI shipped Grok 4.5. The frontier now ships when the government clears it, not when the model is ready. Anthropic went through the exact same thing with Fable and Mythos in June. A pattern, not a one-off. Three models, price as the weapon GPT-5.6 is three models, not one. Sol is the flagship. Terra is the everyday workhorse. Luna is cheap and fast. Price per million tokens, in/out: Sol $5/$30, Terra $2.50/$15, Luna $1/$6. Terra matches GPT-5.5 quality at half the cost. Luna is the cheapest entry in the line. Altman told CNBC Sol is 54% more token-efficient on agentic coding. That's the message. Not "smarter." "Cheaper for the same result." And ultra: a mode inside Sol that spins up multiple agents in parallel and hands subtasks to submodels. The market counts token bills, not benchmarks. Enterprise thinks spend first now. OpenAI heard it and made price the argument. Today's real launch is unit economics, not intelligence. "Sol beats Fable 5, Luna beats Opus 4.8 at two-thirds the cost" are OpenAI's own benchmarks. Until independent runs, treat them as marketing. ChatGPT Work is Codex in a suit Now the "new agent." ChatGPT Work runs on Codex and GPT-5.6. It moves across your apps and files, stays on a project for hours, breaks it into steps, finishes on its own. Output: docs, sheets, slides, web apps. Inside sits a Unified Plugins Directory: Google Drive, Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, GitHub, Canva, Dropbox, more. Call one with "@" or let the agent pick the source. Sounds familiar. This is OpenAI's second run at plugins. The first was 2023 and it flopped. Brockman admitted the models weren't ready back then. Honest read: hard to tell what's actually new. Scheduled Tasks, Computer Use, connectors already lived in ChatGPT and Codex. Long tasks and data sources worked before too. The real move isn't features. It's consolidation: on desktop, OpenAI is merging Codex and ChatGPT into one super app and putting Codex in front of people who don't code. The Anthropic mirror Here's the tell. This is the exact play Anthropic ran with Claude Code -> Cowork. Take a dev agent, strip the "for coders" label, hand it to knowledge workers. Cowork just hit web and mobile, timed to get ahead of this. Two labs, one bet: whoever owns the desktop app that touches your files and apps owns the knowledge-work layer. Chat is the storefront. The desktop is the land grab. What a practitioner does with it One: rebuild pipelines around price tiers. Route bulk work to Luna and Terra. Keep Sol and ultra for the 10% that needs the ceiling. Economics is a routing problem now, not a single-model choice. Two: the real unlock is the desktop with local file access, not the web. Free tier gets ChatGPT Work on desktop right away. Web and mobile roll by tier: Pro, Enterprise, Edu first, Plus and Business next. Three: billing is usage-based and shares one pool with Codex, ChatGPT for Excel, and Workspace Agents. Count tokens before, not after. A complex task burns quota quietly. Security: OpenAI touts Auto-Review, where senior models check important actions before they run, and claims it blocked 100% of protected-data extraction attempts in red-teaming. 100% in a lab is zero confirmations in ****. Test it yourself. Sober read The model war moved from IQ to unit economics. The product war moved from chat to the desktop that holds your files. Testers are already posting "best model I've touched." Maybe. That's day-one sentiment, not fact. The real scoreboard isn't a benchmark. It's the "AI spend" line in an enterprise budget. That's a market you can actually read. The window is the next couple weeks, before prices settle and everyone re-routes spend. Rebuild your routing around three models now and you enter the quarter with a smaller bill for the same work. Everyone else reads the thread and changes nothing.

Mo RezaAli (@RezaaliMo) reportedMy tool said 98% deliverability. The replies said spam folder. I'd written copy I was actually proud of. Tight subject lines, real personalization, a Yakkyo sourcing angle our buyers care about. Sent 412. Got 3 replies. Took me two days to admit the copy was never the problem. I'd sent it all from our main domain. No separate sending domain. No warmup. SPF and DKIM half-configured because the demo I copied skipped that part. So "98% delivered" just meant the email left the building. Where it landed, Gmail had already decided. The infra was the whole campaign. The copy was the part that mattered least. So before I touch outreach automation now: a separate sending domain, never the one your real email runs on. Three or four weeks warming it before it sees a real list. SPF, DKIM, DMARC actually passing, not just sitting there. Then ramp slow, like a person would. Did you warm a separate domain before your last cold campaign, or did you find this out the way I did?
