The maximum theoretical size for a zip archive is 16 exabytes (2^64 bytes). It's free if you have where to store it.

> Each step moves further from "how do we build better models?" toward "how do we monetize the models we have?"

I don't think OpenAI launching ChatGPT Apps and Atlas signals they're pivoting.

It's just that when you raise that much money you must deploy it in any possible direction.

LLMs would be amazing for this

This is a terrific idea and could also have a lot of value with regards to accessibility.

The web developer / web page ratio in 2025 is for sure way lower than it was in 1998.

Took a while but Wix / Webflow / SquareSpace / Wordpress did end up automating a bunch of work.

For one thing, it's way faster than the OpenAI equivalent in a way that might unlock additional use cases.

It's quite evident after you read a few. Typically convoluted and fancy English.

In other words: Upon perusal of a mere handful, the prevailing characteristic becomes abundantly clear. The prose predominantly revels in a labyrinthine complexity, intertwined with a flourish of ornate lexicon.

Cool! Feature requests:

1. physical synthesis of typewriter sounds rather than using sound files.

2. Simulating key jams, so if you type too quickly further key presses are inhibited.

Same. Can't imagine why they've been using it for so long instead of building a reasonable UX for this use case. I think this will cost them a bunch of traction.

I couldn't find any evidence for this font having particularly good legibility (such as a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) test), but my hunch is that it's not that great.

It was probably optimized for low-res screens and specifically for monospace usage.

Kerning looks quite off in the Google fonts specimen (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/B612?query=b612)
