Hey folks,

Will Smith eating spaghetti was started as a 2023 meme for generative video benchmarks. But now, Google’s Veo 3 model recreated it with photoreal visuals and audio, complete with crunching, slurping, even squishing, that makes you do a double take. It’s wild progress. This absurd prompt has become a kind of unofficial benchmark: if your AI can nail noodles and facial expressions in sync, it’s officially crossed into next-gen video territory.

Let’s dive in..

📺️ Google’s NotebookLM rolling out Video Overviews

🐝 The Buzz: Google is spicing up NotebookLM with Video Overviews which are AI-crafted, narrated slide videos built from your docs, images, and PDFs. It’s the next step after Audio Overviews, giving you visuals plus voice to digest your research.

  • Visual summaries straight from your sources: Video Overviews pull text, diagrams, quotes, and images from your uploaded notebooks and package them into narrated slideshows

  • Playback controls included: Speed control and the ability to skip forward or back by 10 seconds make reviewing info smoother

  • Studio interface overhaul: A redesigned Studio tab now shows tiles for Audio Overviews, Video Overviews, mind maps, and reports. You can also save multiple versions of the same output within one notebook

💡 Takeaway: NotebookLM is shifting from monologue‑style audio summaries to visual stories that still respect source accuracy. With both audio and video options, plus better interface control, it’s aiming to be a smarter companion for study and teamwork, especially as it expands into language support and collaborative features.

📖 OpenAI has rolled out Study Mode

🐝 The Buzz: OpenAI has rolled out Study Mode in ChatGPT and it’s a brain trainer, not a shortcut. You can swap instant answers for nudges that teach you how to learn.

  • Guided puzzles, not cheat sheets: Instead of spitting out answers, Study Mode prompts you with open-ended questions, hints, and checks to guide your thinking in a scaffolded way

  • Built with educators and experts: OpenAI partnered with educators and learning scientists to craft system instructions that mimic human tutoring, using techniques like progress checks and personalized feedback

  • Brain health matters: MIT studies found that over-reliance on ChatGPT suppresses memory and critical thinking andStudy Mode is meant to counter that by keeping users mentally engaged

💡 Takeaway: Study Mode turns ChatGPT from answer dispenser into thinking coach. It adds friction because that’s how learning happens. For students or anyone wanting to actually understand and retain stuff, it’s a welcome shift. But easy mode is still there if you hit toggle.
