We are aiming to ship published pieces every other week, alongside monthly round-ups of blogs, pieces, and tweets on AI diffusion. Send us your best takes!
And as always — we are always searching for in-depth, on-the-ground pieces about how AI is diffusing and shaping different parts of the economy. Pitch us through this form. We pay $1k USD for essays and reportage.
OK, this is a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway: to read this "inaugural issue", I just wait to receive more posts on this blog?
I'm pretty sure this is what you're saying, but my brain sees "Issue 1 of Diffuse AI" and has a hard time reading that as anything other than a call to action to go find Issue 1. Honestly the entire concept of an "issue" as something that is announced in advance but then trickles out as a series of individual blog posts confuses me.
And then I get stressed out, because these are great topics and I'm really excited to read them!
