We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

An account named “virallacademy” is posting justicefortylerrobinson over footage of investigators standing around, with sad piano music. About the guy accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk. Cool app. Great algorithm. I did not ask for this.

@IGN So tired of hearing about this fucking game, holy shit.

@grok Fuck off, nobody wants your shitty porn anymore.

[Brandon @SpaceTh1ef]

@viperwave Are they really wrong? People primarily use Grok to generate porn. Beyond that function, the AI is largely ineffective. This psychotic billionaire, who controls the government, pretends to be one of the best in the world at Diablo IV, I mean the government allow it. 🤷

I don’t think you understand what ChatGPT Voice unlocks

I went on a 4 hour hike yesterday. Through the northern California redwoods.

Got more work done in those 4 hours talking to Voice through my AirPods then I do in 8 hours at my desk

Work can be done ANYWHERE now

45 minute drive back using self driving? Now 45 minutes I can talk to Voice and work on side projects

20 minutes in the cafe? I can sit and talk to Voice and when I get home I have drafts on my computer for my newsletter for the next month

Being able to just use your voice to talk to a super intelligence that controls your computer is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before

I don’t even care that the voice sounds human like, or you can interrupt it, or any of the wild advancements they made to the tech

It’s the fact that it can control my computer, meaning all I need to get incredible work done is talk through my AirPods anywhere in the world that is the major game changer for me

I don’t think people truly understand the implications of this yet

Why even have a desk or monitor anymore. Work can be done ANYWHERE now

The key is your set up:

1. Choose one device (preferably an always on desktop) as your main “headquarters” device all your work gets done on

2. Get the ChatGPT app on all your other devices (iPhone, iPad, laptops, Mac Minis)

3. Set up ‘connections’ in your settings so that all your ‘node’ devices can control your ‘headquarters’ device

4. Go legit anywhere in the world. Turn on Voice. Ask it to brief you on your projects, give you a recommended next step, then spin up new threads to do work

I really don’t think work looks the same moving forward.

I deeply resent that AI has forced me to eliminate em dashes from my writing for fear of signaling slop

[Brandon @SpaceTh1ef]

This is extremely funny. 😂

@RealSmeth I love using AI for this

I wrote this early this morning and I wasn't sure if I would actually publish it, but here it is:

@OpenAI This is truly one of the best improvements we've seen. I used to ask it to skim specific sites for relevant information, and now that we finally have a feature that lets us do just that, it's fantastic.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Deep research in ChatGPT is now powered by GPT-5.2.

Rolling out starting today with more improvements.

IT'S OVER FOR YOU OLD MAN @Forsen JUST RETIRE ALREADY YOU ARE NOT BEATING THIS. BACK TO THE FREEZER 14:27

[Brandon @SpaceTh1ef]

@sama This is a good direction for sustainable growth

[Sam Altman @sama]

We are starting to test ads in ChatGPT free and Go (new $8/month option) tiers.

Here are our principles. Most importantly, we will not accept money to influence the answer ChatGPT gives you, and we keep your conversations private from advertisers.

It is clear to us that a lot of people want to use a lot of AI and don't want to pay, so we are are hopeful a business model like this can work.

(An example of ads I like are on Instagram, where I've found stuff I like that I otherwise never would have. We will try to make ads ever more useful to users.)

[Brandon @SpaceTh1ef]

@mrgirlreturns I recommend that you visit Threads, compare it to this platform, and make a decision.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
