Twice a week, the five to seven developments that actually move the question of how close we are, each with a plain answer to why it matters. Written for people who want the evidence without the volume that usually comes attached to it.
There is no shortage of AI news. What is missing is anyone tracking the specific question a serious person keeps asking, which is how close we actually are. Coverage of that question is mostly either breathless or unreadable. This aims at the space between: clear enough to be useful to someone running a company, careful enough that a researcher would not wince.
Every item links to its primary source. Every factual claim is checked against the source text before it ships. Where we are making a judgment rather than reporting a fact, we label it as a judgment.
The Field Guide, our explainers for people who feel late to this conversation and are tired of being handed either a glossary or a lecture.
