When did skincare get so intense with multi-step skincare routines made of cleansers, exfoliants, toners, serums, masks, creams, moisturizers, and sunscreen? When did some people decide they didn’t need to wash their legs? How are both of these questions equally relevant nowadays? In this video, Sabrina shares her skincare routine, explores the history of hygiene, and figures out what is behind this “clean” divide.

Sabrina always thought that macaroni, spaghetti, penne, fusili, and linguine were the only pasta shapes out there. Then, she stumbled on scoobi doo (cavatappi) pasta and learned that there are apparently over 1300 pasta shapes in the world. In this video, Sabrina partners up with Melissa to figure out how many pasta shapes actually exist, why they do, and whether there are more to come.

In this video, Sabrina answers that question and explores how AI (large language models like OpenAI's chatGPT and Google bard) understand and solve problems. She figures out where AI is smarter than humanity and where it isn't, and calls her shot on whether artificial general intelligence (AGI) is around the corner.

Does she get beat by a Boston Dynamics dog? Do chatGPT and DALL-E team up to humble her? Is she just writing buzzwords in hopes that people find this video and gain a nuanced understanding of AI?
