Why this site

An entire industry woke up, learned to talk back, and started doing the homework. This is a record of what happened while you were busy with everything else.

I've been watching this field since Kurzweil was writing about singularities on dial-up, when ImageNet was a curiosity and Watson won a game show. I remember AlexNet, the quiet ripple of "Attention Is All You Need," and the hushed months before GPT-3 showed up in a playground tab and quietly rearranged everyone's mental model of what a computer could do.

Most AI coverage swings between two bad modes: breathless and dismissive. Copilot Revolution is neither. The goal is to keep a running log of what's actually happening — the moves, the money, the second-order effects that matter a month from now — in the voice of someone who has seen this movie a few times before.

What this is

A set of briefings — short, sourced, occasionally opinionated — from the front row of the AI era. Numbered like archive entries, because that's how this is going to be remembered: as a sequence of moments we could have paid more attention to.

Each briefing is one thing, explained in about five minutes. Primary sources cited. No hedging. If we got something wrong, we say so the next day. Briefings land when something actually happened — usually a few times a week, sometimes quiet for a day. We'd rather send nothing than send filler.

What this isn't

It isn't selling anything. It isn't hype. It isn't AI-generated slop (though it is sometimes AI-drafted, under editorial supervision, because that's a reasonable way to work now).
