Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Lyam Fetus, a respected
researcher at OpenAI, recently announced his
departure, igniting a frenzy among venture capitalists
for his startup, Periodic Labs. The startup secured
an enormous $300 million seed round, led by Andresen
Horowitz, with Felicis being the first investor.
Fetus and his collaborator, Eken Dogus Kubuk,
aim to automate material science using advanced
technology. Their mission is to discover new
superconductor materials, potentially revolutionizing
energy consumption. While they have set up their
lab, the robots are still in training, indicating
that scientific discovery remains a challenging
endeavor. The investor who penned a love letter
did not win the deal. The Springsteen biopic,
Deliver Me From Nowhere, has more soul than swagger.
An electric moment occurs while recording Born

musical drama focuses on the making of Springsteen's
1982 Nebraska album, exploring his troubled inner
life rather than his working -class rock swagger.
Jeremy Allen White portrays Springsteen while
the film dies into his childhood trauma and creative
struggles. Despite some storytelling misfires,
Deliver Me From Nowhere offers a solid portrait
of an artist grappling with his identity. Well,
all righty, folks. It's time for the quote of
