Knee of the Curve

There’s so much ink being spilled about AI that it’s hard to keep track of it all. But I’m doing my best to stay connected to the important stuff, or at least things most relevant to my job.

Here’s a list of articles and essays that I’ve read recently that I found memorable for one reason or another, roughly in descending order of broad relevance:

• Words Without Consequences
• Something Big is Happening
• America Isn’t Ready for What AI Will Do to Jobs
• What is Claude? Anthropic Doesn’t Know, Either
• Machines of Loving Grace
• The Adolescence of Technology
• The AI Vampire
• The Agentic State
• Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.6

The first three are especially powerful. If you’re reading this, read them instead.
