The Nebo app is discussed as a note-taking option, with mixed opinions compared to popular alternatives like Notability, which offers a recording feature that syncs notes with audio timestamps. Goodnotes and CollabNotes also provide similar functionalities. Obsidian is highlighted for its unique capability to create interconnected notes, resembling a personal Wikipedia, and is favored by some Ph.D. students for thesis management. Specialty notebooks with smart pens that record handwritten notes for later upload are mentioned as another option. Traditional methods of note-taking, such as using a physical notebook and later rewriting notes, remain a reliable choice for many.

Goodnotes and CollabNotes (free but somewhat experimental) also have these features.

A third option is the specialty notebooks, where a pen records what you wrote and can be uploaded to a computer later on.

Of course, the tried and true scheme is to write your notes in a simple notebook or fancier Moleskin notebook and then rewrite them elsewhere during quiet moments of reflection.
 
A new phenomenon is AI-generated news videos pretending to be by well-known professors Jeffery Sachs and John Mearsheimer. The amazing thing is that they both seem very tolerant of this. Youtube will block these if they request it but this has been going on for months and such blocks never seem to happen. The other surprise is that while they may be visually ugly or even grotesque the news analysis is quite good. If given the sound alone I don't believe I could tell it from the real...
