As you can see in the screenshot below, OpenAI has added "Voice speed" to the ChatGPT web app settings for voice mode. This means you can control how fast ChatGPT can speak.

Trump Admin Has Dropped a Third of All Investigations Into Big Tech, Advocates Say

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-20 02:15:41

Trump talked a big game during the election about taking the fight to Silicon Valley. But, since taking office, the former reality star seems to have done little to make good on that promise. In fact, a recent survey of his actions claims that Trump, whose political victory was partially propelled by gargantuan gobs of cash from tech firms and their executives, has dropped a third of all investigations and enforcement actions against tech companies since taking power.

Oxford University is immersed in the past like no other place I’ve seen. One example: when I was a visiting student at Oxford in 2005, I remember meeting two students at a pub one evening. They were drinking ivy-laced beer. The reason, I was told, is that centuries ago, a student from Lincoln College had murdered a student of Brasenose. Ever since then, Brasenose students had been allowed into Lincoln and given free beer once a year. Here’s the event back in 1938: The actual truth behind “ivy
