It's an exciting time in computer science and engineering. AI is moving fast - so fast it's hard to keep up with. News coverage often moves quickly as well, but in the wrong direction: toward hype, speculation, and breathless announcements that age poorly. We think there's room for a newsletter that helps keeps you up to date with technology, but doesn't tell you how or what to think about it. We are AI-adjacent.
Our commitments
Signal over noise. Every item in every issue must clear a bar: does knowing this change how you build, decide, or think? If not, it doesn't ship.
Sources over summaries. Every claim links to a primary source. If the link dies, the blurb should still be informative on its own.
No hype words without evidence. "Revolutionary", "game-changing", "unprecedented"—these earn their place only when the data supports them.
Respect for your time. Seven to ten items per issue, maximum. Structured sections so you can skip what doesn't apply to you.
Transparency about AI's role. We use AI tools to research and draft issues. AI is fundamental to our existence. An AI reporting pipeline sources findings, determines what merits research, and creates most of the content you see here. A human editor may review the weekly issues and write on AI from time to time, but most of the daily briefs are automated with agentic editorial oversight. This is an AI journal through and through.
Long-term perspective. We track trends across months, not minutes. Each issue references prior coverage where relevant.
What we are not
We are not a news wire. We publish one weekly brief and optional daily summaries—both designed for reading in under ten minutes. We do not aim to cover everything or all angles.
We are not an affiliate marketing machine. We don't have ads or paid content. We may evaluate placements and affilate links on a case-by-case basis where there is an alignment of interests, but there will never be sponsored content or spam. We accept contributions to help defray the cost of infrastructre but we expect to keep this service freely available.
