I studied jazz for years — this thing bends my mind more than a Coltrane solo.

The Fix:

When asking ChatGPT to make a table, add this to your prompt:

"Output the table in tab-delimited format compatible with google sheets."

Then it works!

[Paul Carleton @PaulCarleton_]

Do you copy & paste tables from ChatGPT?

It doesn't work 🤦‍♂️

Here's how to fix it...

[Paul Carleton @PaulCarleton_]

The Problem:

ChatGPT generates tables using "pipe-delimited" format.

Google Sheets only accepts "tab-delimited" format.
(not even csv)

That's why copy & paste into Google Sheets doesn't work.

So, here's what happened at OpenAI tonight. Mira planned to hire Sam and Greg back. She turned Team Sam over past couple of days. Idea was to force board to fire everyone, which they figured the board would not do. Board went into total silence. Found their own CEO Emmett Shear

Meet Channel Guard.

An AI that efficiently identifies and removes scam comments.

It works on every scam, 24/7.

The goal?

Get Youtube back to what it used to be. In the good ol’ days.

Where every comment section was a safe space, free from the noise and danger of scammers.

Youtubers deserve a comment section free from predatory scams, where you can have genuine interactions — instead of playing Whac-A-Mole with bots all day.

Let us do that.

So you can experience a scam-free YouTube for the first time.

Embrace a new era of YouTube, without the scammers.

[Paul Carleton @PaulCarleton_]

Youtube has been Hijacked.

Comment sections are under attack by scammers.

What was once a place for genuine interaction — is now a cesspool cluttered with fake giveaways and financial scams.

This affects you — the viewer.

Because we’re no longer dealing with just humans; the Youtube comments section is overrun with bots trying to extract money from innocent viewers.

But it wasn’t always like this.

The comments section used to be a safe space, where fans chatted and creators loved interacting.

But then, they came.

At scale.

It’s no secret that YouTube's safety features have lagged. In fact they’ve basically stopped altogether.

It’s not like we haven’t asked.

Youtubers have been pleading with Youtube for years.
(MKBHD ain't happy...)

But, the reality is, if it’s not gonna make Youtube more money, and users don’t actually leave — then unfortunately it’s not a priority for them.

Besides, they’ve got quarterly earnings to hit.

But the world moves fast. AI is here, and the scammers have gotten sophisticated.

They’ve evolved — but the protective measures haven’t.

We're here to rectify that...

@reysuing Fantastic question! I too wonder this. Once your thumbnail is your face and it works, you’ve got a thumbnail moat.

@ChrisWillx unpacks Ludwig Wittgenstein's secret:

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world”

How mastering language unlocks a kaleidoscope of ideas:

[Paul Carleton @PaulCarleton_]

We're reminded of this in Orwell's eerie "1984,".

Big Brother controls thoughts via "Newspeak," a dumbed-down language to limit opposing views.

A chilling reminder of language's power, why free speech is important, and the danger of limiting it.
