AI Editorial

The rest of the library explains, and explanation has no opinion. This is where the opinion goes. Each piece starts from something that actually happened in AI — a model release, a paper, a benchmark result, a failure, a policy — explains the mechanism underneath it, and argues its way to a position: what genuinely changed, what is only being marketed as change, and what someone learning the field should take from it. Every piece links what it argues from and the concepts you need to follow it.
