Show HN: Cerebro: a librarian for the 463-exabyte-a-day internet
You missed a miracle while you slept.
Between midnight and breakfast people uploaded five hundred hours of video every single minute.
That is seven hundred and twenty thousand fresh hours in one day, enough footage to keep you watching until 2107 if you pressed play right now.
And that is only YouTube. IDC says humanity will push out about 463 exabytes of new data every day in 2025.
Stack that on hard drives and the column reaches the Moon and comes halfway back.
Insane right? it get's worst.
McKinsey finds that knowledge workers already burn a full work-day each week just hunting for information they have created or paid for.
Now bring AI into the picture. Europol’s analysts warn that up to ninety percent of everything you read online could be machine-generated by 2026.
The models will write, then quote themselves, then train on the quotation. Noise that amplifies itself.
Why should you care? Because the next time you need a fact whether to build, vote, or treat a fever you’ll have to dig it out of a an exponential wave of information that is still rising.
Yesterday one reliable page could tilt the odds for anyone lucky enough to find it, today the same page is buried under a billion noise or masked by fake data and social proof.
If we cannot tell signal from chatter we stop trusting anything. Research stalls, democracy wobbles, and every decision takes longer. Knowledge once tasted like power. Now it tastes like sand.
What I am trying I am building Cerebro. Think of it as a librarian, not a factory.
It ingests the PDFs, videos, and papers you care about.
It verifies statements against originals before they reach your eyeballs.
It maps concepts so you see only what changes the decision in front of you.
No summaries that hallucinate. No extra content to clog the pipe. Just a shield that separates fact from filler. Version 0.1 is live for dog-fooding and every commit happens in public.
Why bother telling you? Because if this resonates then you are exactly the person who can break it, improve it, or tell me it is the wrong fight.
Questions for HN
Which metric tells you that you have crossed from curiosity into overload?
Where do existing curators fail you?
If one slice of your reading workflow could be automated today what would you pick?
I will be in the comments all day.

Show HN: ThreadWise – Your AI assistant via email
Hi HN, I built ThreadWise to make accessing AI as easy as sending email.
You can email prompts directly to your ThreadWise address and get instant AI-powered responses, essentially an always available co-worker. Another great feature is the ability to schedule recurring tasks and since the AI has web access, you can get things like:
Daily mortgage rates or airfare price monitoring
Weather and news summaries
Sport scores, jokes, quote of the day
Pull data from public APIs (and more)
So you can essentially use it as a personal newsletter, crafted to your taste.
The free tier will let you test this out for free! I am looking for some feedback/criticism, testing, and additional ideas and I am open for collaboration if you have experience with sales. Also open to hearing which scheduled tasks people would find most useful.
Why I built it: I noticed a trend online, as well as with family/friends, that people would like to have a quick access to AI in instances where they couldn't always install apps or use browser-based tools (such as in remote/low bandwidth environments). This is when it him me, email clients already have all the features needed to interact with an AI (text + attachments) and I quickly got to work.
Some of the advantages are also that since there are no new apps, or browser tabs needed, the tool is ideal for companies who don't have the bandwidth to setup full fledged AI solutions on their own. The companies can choose either between public LLMs (e.g. OpenAI) or host everything on-premise with locally run models, so no data ever leaves the premises.
Eager to hear what you all think!
