We’ve just crossed the 10k subscribers threshold, and want to sent a quick thank you note to all of you — this is a passion project for our team (Jackie Liang, Andrey Kurenkov, Daniel Bashir, Trisha Mittal, and Archer Amon), and having people enjoy what we make is what drives us to do it.
A brief bit of history: this newsletter was originally part of Skynet Today, a website with a variety of articles meant to address misunderstandings about AI that we launched all the way back in April 1 of 2018. The very first edition of this newsletter (then titled Skynet This Week) can still be seen through the way back machine:
After a few years journalism about AI got quite a bit better, and there was a lot more of it, so we switched out focus to mainly working on this newsletter and moved to Substack. We’re so glad so many of you find this useful.
That’s about it! We’ll wrap this up with a few questions:
Are there any types of news stories you’d like us to cover more?
Do you have any ideas on how we could improve?
How would you feel about us creating having a forum or subreddit on which you can discuss AI news of the sort we cover?
Celebrating 10k subscribers
