  @gmail I have an email.. I accidentally deleted it on my phone 6 months ago . And when I try to login it tells me to use a recognized device. I always use my phone. And when it's successfully accepted, it sends the recovery code to the same email and I can't access. Help me

  @EvaAnanova For real. The hacker uses a bot that immediately removes all backup codes, MFa and phone number. It then does the same for your support account (if there isn't one, they'll make one and lock it down) Then change your gmail account into a child and make themselves the parent-

  That means if a website sends you a verification code, login code, or welcome email, it will still come to your normal Gmail inbox. There is no need to create a brand new Gmail account just to receive that email. Same inbox, different email variation.

  Google's Gmail integration reveals AI personalization's real consent problem The feature is called Personal Intelligence. The controversy it triggered is about something older and harder to fix. A social media post viewed over 6.5 million times exposed what many users hadn't noticed: automatically opted in to allow Gmail to access private messages to train AI models. Google's response: no policies changed, Gmail content isn't used to train Gemini. Both things can be technically true. Neither one resolved the problem. The actual issue isn't what Google is doing. It's that most users have no accurate mental model of what's happening to their data at any given moment. Personal Intelligence routes existing stored data into AI responses. From a policy standpoint, that's a meaningful distinction. From a user's standpoint, the line between "Google has my email" and "Google's AI is actively reading my email to answer my questions" feels like a different thing entirely. To fully escape AI scanning, users must disable three separate features buried across different menus. The opt-out exists. Finding it requires more technical literacy than most users have. The default state effectively becomes the permanent state for 1.8 billion Gmail users. Users in the EU, UK, and Japan have these features disabled by default. That gap is not an accident. It's regulatory arbitrage in practice. Every AI assistant that gets genuinely useful is one that knows more about you. The usefulness and the privacy exposure scale together. The question the industry hasn't answered is whether meaningful consent is possible at this level of data integration, or whether "opt-in" has become a word that describes a checkbox and nothing more.

  An update on everything: John’s personal Discord and Gmail accounts remain unrecovered as of this moment as we wait for support from Discord and Google. None of the accounts of any other VTRC members have been affected. John’s access to our business accounts was also removed before any could be accessed, which includes both the robot platform and our payment platform. As for the VTRC Discord server, the attacker revoked admin permissions for all other accounts. Since John’s account was the server owner, nothing could be done to stop it. The attacker then proceeded to delete any message in the server which attempted to warn everyone else and ban the accounts that posted them. Meanwhile, the attacker posed as John and continued to send direct messages to server members and John’s contacts to spread the malicious file which compromised several people’s PCs. We are currently using a new Discord server since we currently have no way of removing John’s compromised account from our original server. Upcoming events will be posted and conducted in the new server that is now linked to this profile. The Super Battle Golf tournament that was originally scheduled for this weekend will also be in the new server but will have to be postponed due to a staff illness. New dates will be announced soon. Please remain vigilant and stay safe. Those who took John’s account are still at it. Do not click any links or download any files unless you are 100% sure they are safe. Verify the identity of anyone who sends you a message. Make sure who you are talking to is actually who you think you are talking to. If you still have sensitive information in a DM, delete those individual messages immediately. Lastly, we’d like to apologize to everyone. We at the VTRC take pride in the trust many of you have bestowed upon us. We know this is not easily earned, and after recent events, it is only fair that you withdraw such trust. We recognize that we have failed to ensure the safety of our community. We promise to do better and hope our actions moving forward will show our commitment to everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Thank you.

  You’ve probably had one of those days where the work never really starts, no matter how hard you try. A few calls in the morning. Slack pops off constantly. A deck lies, waiting, in one tab with Gmail in another and Canva in the third. You’ve been pulled away for a few “quick check-ins” several times, and you have a meeting in 15, so you can’t really dig into a big task. By the end of the day, you’ve been busy the whole time, but the deep work you really need to do still feels untouched. This kind of interrupted thinking is called “fragmentation”, and there’s plenty of research on it. The most salient point is that fragmentation carries a high cognitive cost. The American Psychological Association notes that even brief mental blocks caused by switching between tasks can consume as much as 40% of one’s productivity. One study, conducted by the University of California, showed that people completed interrupted work faster, but only by compensating with more stress, more frustration, more time pressure, and more effort. You’d think if it were such a widely documented phenomenon that we’d do more to avoid it, but that’s not the case. The workplace is only becoming more fragmented. Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index found that employees are interrupted every two minutes during the workday by meetings, emails, or pings, with 60% of meetings classed as ad hoc. That’s a real problem, no matter your field. Productivity and the flow state many of us strive to achieve requires some element of uninterrupted time to achieve. If your day is constantly being broken into smaller and smaller pieces, you lose the conditions you need to work meaningfully. It comes back to a point we’ve covered recently about your environment: If the work feels flat, don’t just ask whether the team has enough talent or whether the brief is strong enough. Instead, ask what kind of environment the thinking is happening in. If your team is struggling with interruptions, it’s usually an easy place to start overhauling. For more on how to achieve the flow state, check out the Never Think Alone substack.

  The agent was confident. "Submitted, awaiting confirmation" for hundreds of jobs. Gmail had ZERO auto-acks. It had been clicking the wrong buttons for weeks. Most AI failures look like this. The model isn't broken. It's just allowed to claim things it never verified.

  @browser_use session isolation > CDP-readability. one logged-in profile shared across agents = next agent inherits gmail/stripe/aws auth. per-task cookie jar declared upfront — same scope-flag pattern as fs mounts. stealth fixes anti-bot, doesn't fix the cross-task auth bleed.

  @nealCS Very likely user error in this case, but that's almost exactly how Google killed Firefox back in the day. When Chrome first launched, Firefox had the majority market share. But then, every now and then, Gmail just wouldn't work with it.

  @gregisenberg 99% of SMBs will never be structured for agents. They run on QuickBooks, Gmail threads, and tribal knowledge. That's not a bug to fix — it's the actual market. Build agents that work despite the mess.

  3/ Now it also remembers you better, pulling from past chats and even Gmail for more tailored answers. A new memory sources tab shows what it used, so you can delete or fix anything that feels too nosy.
