The UCLA math prodigy was doing calculus while the rest of us were apparently eating glue in third grade. Now he’s published 300+ papers, 18 books and advises the U.S. president. My math teacher told me my IQ was pretty average. I thought, “That’s just mean.”

What some fans drop every month just to binge 60-second soap operas. Forget Netflix and chill, it’s now “vertical drama and debt” for $20 a week. That’s more than an HBO Max + Netflix + Hulu bundle, with enough left over for popcorn.
Touch screen terror: Volkswagen ditched real steering wheel buttons for chic haptic ones. Now, they’re getting sued because people say the buttons are too sensitive, like “crash your car while parking” sensitive, accelerating unintentionally after accidental brushes. VW quietly switched back to real buttons but not before several garages and hands got wrecked.

🎙️ Finding her voice: I love this. Only eight seconds of fuzzy ’90s home video, that’s all it took for AI to bring back Sarah Ezekiel’s real voice after 25 years with motor neurone disease. Her kids had only ever heard her speak through a robotic voice. Until now. This is what AI gets right. Changing lives in ways we never imagined.

You describe what you want (omakase at 8?), and it digs up options, then punts you to the booking page. Think research intern but not personal assistant (yet). If you’re an Ultra subscriber ($250/month 😵), you get access to it before the rest of us who are cheap.
