This week in tech that makes you go “Wait... what?” — Netflix is quietly blending ads into shows with AI (hello, Minority Report), and OpenAI’s Codex might be making your job obsolete (or just way easier).

We’ve got divorce drama sparked by ChatGPT, secret messages invisible to cybersecurity systems, and Tesla’s robot demo gets the James Douma deep-dive treatment. Plus: what do “The Little Prince” and flying cars have in common? (Hint: AI is everywhere.)

We’ll also unpack brain-like models called CTMs, text simplification with Gemini, empathy in robots, and the shockingly overlooked secret to why some systems last and others just... don’t.

It’s a wild ride — part research breakdown, part sci-fi come true. Let’s get weird.
