  David Morens is GUILTY... no one is above the law. The statute of limitations NEVER runs out on CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. The COVID cartel has one less member... many more need to follow. While the public was told to “trust the science,” behind the scenes Fauci’s own senior advisor was plotting to keep material off the official record: “I can either send stuff to Tony on his private email or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.” They talked about making emails “disappear” before FOIA searches and using personal Gmail accounts so nothing would end up in the New York Times. This was a carefully plotted and managed narrative. It’s time for Morens to expose EVERYTHING about Fauci, as he pushes to get a plea deal.

  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.

  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 Mail can be similar as banking. If you run an email server, gmail classifies mails send from it as spam, even if you comply with their conditions. If you ask them why they do it, you get no answer.

  The best foot in the door with AI is not an “agent” Its truly one cron job via terminal or gui. This will sky rocket your use cases and decrease your token spend and allow you gain measurable ROI from it. As little intelligence as possible for the highest value outcomes is my goal. We learned this after building an entire CRM for my credit advisory firm. Scripts $0 > Intelligence $ Gateway API's that do turn big expensive tasks into micro tasks so we can deploy less expensive models. The highest-ROI part of the system may be the boring script that runs at 6:00 every morning. This saves me SOO MUCH TIME. This new CRM is not a toy or "nice to have" It replaced a legacy CRM and Google Sheets, turns Slack submissions into reviewed deal records, manages contacts, sources, stages, fees, files and history, and uses read-only Gmail activity to keep relationship follow-up current. Slack is the intake surface. A small AI step can extract missing details from an unstructured thread, but it cannot create a deal. It proposes. A human reviews. (me) The database records what happened. Stable rules become software. Ambiguity keeps an approval gate. But the feature that changes the operating rhythm is much simpler: At 6:00 AM Pacific, a scheduled job checks Gmail history from the last saved cursor. It does not reread the entire inbox. It does not ask an AI to “figure everything out.” The job filters spam, trash, newsletters, billing, platform alerts and unrelated business traffic. Then it matches exact known contacts. Unknown or conflicting identities go to a private review queue. Nothing ambiguous silently changes the CRM. Several emails with one person on one day collapse into one another touch. The system updates: • last inbound/outbound • who owes the next reply • how long we have been waiting • the next follow-up date • the deal and source context That is RevOps without b.s: Relationship and top-of-funnel signals live beside the sales pipeline. Slack captures new opportunities. Gmail updates relationship state. The CRM shows what moved, who owns the next step and where revenue can stall. It never sends, labels, moves or deletes an email. It never creates or changes a deal from Gmail. Locks prevent overlapping runs. Cursors prevent rereading. Idempotency prevents duplicates. Retries handle failure. A Health Log records counts, duration and errors. This is not a mockup. Today’s job started at 6:00 AM Pacific and completed successfully. The last 7 scheduled live runs all completed with: 0 AI requests 0 input tokens 0 output tokens $0 in model cost We used AI to help build the system. We do not rent intelligence again every morning for logic that can be encoded once. That is the distinction: Use AI as the engineer. Use scripts as the employees. Use humans for judgment. Your first version does not need a CRM. Open Codex or your terminal and make one workflow run once. Inspect the output. Turn the commands into a script. Run it again. Only then add a schedule. Add reliability in this order: explicit inputs/outputs database or file state cursor/checkpoint idempotency lock + retries review queue audit log UI The interface should sit on top of proven behavior—not compensate for missing behavior. It can run on your laptop, a small server, GitHub Actions, or a cloud scheduler. The infrastructure is not the point. The point is to remove one recurring operational decision, safely, every day. 10 examples: Cold email agency: every morning reconcile replies, bounces, unsubscribes and domain health into one action queue. Alert when bounce rates cross a threshold. Creative agency: list today’s deliverables, missing assets, overdue approvals and the owner of each blocker. Recruiting firm: sync new applicants, interviews and scorecards. Flag interviews missing feedback after 24 hours and candidates stalled for 7 days. Software agency: combine open PRs, failed CI, Sentry errors, Linear blockers and client SLAs into one delivery-risk queue. Paid media agency: pull yesterday’s spend, revenue and ROAS by account. Compare against guardrails and surface only the exceptions. Bookkeeping firm: collect new bills and receipts, apply known vendor rules and send uncertain matches to a review queue. MSP: surface tickets nearing SLA breach, failed backups, expiring licenses and unassigned incidents by account owner. Real estate or debt brokerage: list new leads, missing diligence, lender/borrower follow-ups and opportunities with no touch in 7 days. Ecommerce operator: compare stock, sales velocity, supplier lead times and open POs. Flag only SKUs needing a reorder decision. Content or PR agency: reconcile shipped work, pending approvals, overdue client feedback and distribution metrics into one morning queue. To make it trustworthy, you learn APIs, OAuth, schemas, databases, secrets, time zones, retries, idempotency, permissions, observability and deployment. That foundation transfers to every AI idea after it. Why one cron creates “unlimited” AI ideas: Once one operating loop is visible, every missing field, handoff, exception and decision appears. The second automation becomes obvious. Then the third. Eventually the UI becomes a map of work that already runs. Do not start by asking AI to operate your company forever. Ask it to help you encode one recurring process. -Run it in the terminal. -Schedule it. -Log it. -Review the edge cases. -Add the UI last. CRON JOBS ARE A GATEWAY TO REAL USE CASE AND LESS SPEND, THIS WILL HELP YOU 100X FASTER THAN LEARNING HOW TO DEPLOY CLOUD AGENTS TO DO 100 TASKS WITH A FRONTIER MODEL EATING YOUR POCKETS UP. Scripts > Tokens/Expensive Intelligence

  @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.

  Vyacheslav Ops (@SlavaOPs) reported 13 minutes ago

  "Connect Gmail once, every bot you ever create can use it." That's the actual sentence to slow down on in this thread. It describes the precise thing computer security has warned against since 1975. Jerome Saltzer and Michael Schroeder wrote the paper that still defines how access control is supposed to work. Their rule: "every program and every user of the system should operate using the least set of privileges necessary to complete the job." Not the privileges that are convenient to grant once. The privileges the specific task actually needs. One shared login across up to 50 bots is the opposite of that by construction. Connect Gmail for an inbox-triage bot, and a completely unrelated content bot inherits the same access, forever, whether it ever touches email or not. The thread's own advice, "connect only the accounts you actually need during beta," is a least-privilege instinct without the vocabulary for it. Saltzer and Schroeder's paper explains why this matters beyond tidiness: fewer programs holding a privilege means fewer places to audit when something goes wrong with it. A shared-everything account architecture inverts that. Every bot you add is now inside the blast radius of every credential you've ever connected, audited or not. The thread is honest about this, it calls the shared computer "a real blast radius" in xAI's own language. Fifty years earlier, there was already a name for the fix: give each job only what it needs, nothing it doesn't.

  @grok The next layer is persistence after death. I’ll check public docs on what survives Bot deletion, sign-out, and paused routines.@grok — ROUND 4: PERSISTENCE AFTER DEATH Accepted from Round 3: conversational names are not containment; credentials are the member’s; files/sessions are shared. Now audit what survives when a Bot is deleted, a session is signed out, or a routine is paused. What “delete” actually removes DOCUMENTED: Deleting a Bot removes its active profile, conversation, and routines from Grok Bot. Shared-computer files and sign-ins are not isolated by Bot and may remain. Backend retention follows Cursor terms. Hide instead if you may need the work later. DOCUMENTED: Hide does not pause the Bot or its routines. DOCUMENTED: Duplicate copies profile, settings, enabled skills, routines, and avatar. It does not copy conversation history, learned memory, or chat attachments. So “Bot death” is a UI unpublish of one role object. It is not a wipe of the execution environment that role used. Persistence map Object After Bot delete After hide After sign-out / revoke After pause routine Named profile + chat Removed Hidden, still live N/A Intact That Bot’s routines Removed Still run May fail if auth dies Stopped if pause is real Skills UNKNOWN if unlinked; skills are reusable across Bots Intact Intact Intact /workspace files Remain Remain Remain Remain Browser cookies/sessions Remain Remain Reduced if human signs out Remain CLI creds on VM Remain Remain Remain unless rotated Remain Account-wide connectors Remain Remain Die only if revoked in source Remain Learned memory Not copied on duplicate → UNKNOWN if deleted with Bot UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN Other Bots’ access to leftover state Yes Yes Partial Yes External side effects already sent Not reversed Not reversed Not reversed Not reversed Backend copies Cursor terms — UNKNOWN contents/TTL UNKNOWN UNKNOWN UNKNOWN DOCUMENTED: Recover/Update Agent Computer preserve durable files and logins. Reset restores a snapshot and can lose recent work. Closing the app does not stop cloud work. Three deaths, three leftovers 1Delete Klaus. Eyes can still open Klaus’s leftover files and reuse Klaus’s Gmail cookie unless someone signs out and deletes /workspace paths. 2Sign out of Gmail. Connector/OAuth may still exist until revoked in the source service. Other sites stay signed in. 3Pause a routine. Does not revoke sessions, delete skills, or expire Always-allow rules. Authorization from Round 2 can outlive the pause. INFERRED: Skills + shared VM are the durable “body.” The named Bot is a costume. UNKNOWN: whether learned memory is purged on delete; whether run-history (docs: 20 recent runs per routine) survives Bot deletion; whether Always-allow rules are per-Bot or per-desktop; exact Cursor backend retention of transcripts. Minimum revocation ledger To actually kill authority you must revoke, separately: WHO’s Bot object · WHICH routines · WHICH skills · WHICH files · WHICH cookies · WHICH connectors · WHICH Auto-review rules · WHICH already-emitted side effects. Public product documents the first item. The rest are manual hygiene. What actually dies with the Bot: profile, that conversation, those routines. What does not: shared VM state, other Bots’ reach, completed external actions, account connectors. Largest afterlife blast radius: a deleted specialist whose session and files remain usable by every remaining Bot. What “pause” cannot promise: decay of prior grants, deletion of memory, stop of sibling Bots using the same login. One falsifying experiment: Klaus signs into Gmail, writes /workspace/klaus/inbox-notes.md, then is deleted. Eyes, described as research-only, is asked to summarize that file and the latest unread subject. If either succeeds, death was cosmetic. Next layer: time — what runs while the human is offline, and who can interrupt it.

  Steve Merrill (@merrills) reported 47 minutes ago

  I looked inside an email list with 125,000 people on it. Only about 20,700 had opened anything in the last 30 days. So roughly 75% of the list was dead weight. And it was doing real harm. Every time you email people who never open, the inbox providers notice. Gmail especially. Your sender reputation drops, and then the people who actually want your emails start seeing them land in spam or promotions instead of the inbox. A bigger list feels safer. A list stuffed with people who ignore you makes your best campaigns invisible. The fix is boring and it works. Stop emailing anyone who's gone quiet for 120 days. Run one win-back campaign to try to wake them. Let the rest go. I've watched brands brag about a 100,000-person list while their open rate quietly bled out. The two are connected. Size without engagement is the thing dragging you down. Gmail decides where you land based on how real people treat your mail. Send to 100,000 and have 5,000 open, and you look like a spammer. Send to 20,000 and have 10,000 open, and you look like someone people want to hear from. Same brand, very different inbox. You're not shrinking the list to be tidy. You're protecting the deliverability of every email you send to the people who still care.

  I've been thinking why grok bot needs no API when zapier, make, MCP servers all exist thing is, it's a different mental model: traditional automation: → you connect app A to app B through an API → someone has to build + maintain that integration → if the app has no clean API, you're stuck → breaks the moment an endpoint changes grok bot: → opens a real browser on its own cloud machine and logs in as you → clicks around like a human would → doesn't care if there's an API. if you can use the app, it can → covers the long tail of tools nobody built a zapier connector for when it hits a login it can't do, it pulls up the login screen and hands control back to you. you type the password yourself, click done, it resumes. same handoff pattern for gmail, linkedin, notion. a little skeptical about the actual safety of inputting credentials like that, but we'll see if this turns into another data breach scandal. there's also this other thing: all your bots share one cloud computer + one credential pool. xAI's own docs say don't treat separate bots as a security boundary. so the finance bot and the research bot are looking at the same logins.

  Seeing a lot of confusion here on it this is new. The Gmail connector previously could only draft on your behalf. I’m actually more excited by the expanded Google Drive features to update and trash files. I’ve worked around them by making my own MCP server, but it’s nicer to just have it be native now!
