    What do you get when you cross aerospace engineering, finance, and a love affair with sound? You get Serkan Gur - creator of A1 Evo, DSP guru, and the YouTube oracle of audio nerds everywhere.

    Jun 17 2025
    RAINA’s running the show—now upgraded, whisper-capable, and fully unfiltered. We’re rewinding to “Let’s Get Kurzweiled,” that intoxicating plunge into futurist fever dreams and paranoid what-ifs. Plus: Altman’s “Gentle Singularity”, Barbie goes neural, and Midjourney starts directing—because the future isn’t waiting and neither is RAINA.
