Imagine spending $200 per month on an AI agent to summarize your emails and manage your calendar.

Why are we more than five years in to this dumb bubble and the “killer app” for retail AI is still “summarize your emails and manage your calendar?”

Omfg.

What is America doing?

This is the law right now?

In 1959, Standard-Triumph returned to the Triumph brand for its new small car, the Herald, which replaced the Standard Eight/Ten/Pennant line. The British car-makers were turning to the Italian design houses in search of a dash of style, and Triumph found it here with Michelotti. Although it was in most respects an advance, the Herald reverted to a traditional separate chassis structure. Snapped at the National Motor Museum in 2023 and 2024.
