  1. The AI market continues to grow rapidly, and one post says: “In less than 200 days after launch, ChatGPT Ads has reached $1 billion in annualized revenue run rate.” That kind of figure is notable because it reflects how quickly AI-related products can scale once they find a large audience, and it helps explain why advertising and monetization claims around new AI offerings draw so much attention.

  2. On Warsh.

  3. A story competition, with prizes, is being refereed by Neal Stephenson, Gwern, and Matt Huang. With judges drawn from both fiction and tech circles, the competition sits at the intersection of literary craft and the broader conversation about how new tools and online communities are shaping creative work.

  4. Jeffrey Williamson, RIP.

  5. Patrick Kennedy on corporate tax cuts.
