Über diesen Titel

In this episode of Above the Noise, Alex and Molly take you on a whirlwind tour of breakthroughs, curiosities, and cultural surprises. We start with AI’s growing power—from quantum computers that use artificial intelligence to wrangle atoms, to GPT-5’s code-writing prowess, to personal operating systems run entirely by AI agents. Then it’s over to the science desk: discover how microbes shape the taste of chocolate, why there are 21 types of ice, and how early scientists measured the weight of a single yeast cell with little more than sugar water and math. On the tech front, we look at Tesla’s new family SUV for the Chinese market, affordable AI subscriptions in India, and the rise of humanoid robot sports. Shifting gears to culture, we uncover why Deadliest Catch has outlasted cable television and how Counter-Strike grew from a dorm room mod to a billion-dollar esport. Finally, we wrap with the surreal tale of China’s most famous “nail house”—a home marooned in the middle of a highway.
