The AI Deck
What actually happened in AI today
Read at the source, always. We point, we do not replace: every story here carries a link to the people who did the work.
What this number means
56 sources
Every feed the deck polled on this run, after exclusions. A source is a published RSS or Atom feed, not a website we crawl: no article page is fetched for its content, ever.
Each one carries a permission tier set from that publisher's own robots policy, which decides what may be shown from it. One source is excluded entirely and is named on the sources page with the reason.
What this number means
6 leads
The stories the deck wrote a note about. A story cannot lead without one: the note is the only part of this page that is ours, so it is the entry fee.
0 stories were refused a lead slot on this run for want of a note, and went to the list below instead with their headline and link.
What this number means
48 also today
Everything else the deck saw inside the window, headline and source only. No note, no extract beyond what the publisher's own feed offered, and a link to the people who did the work.
You can re-read this list three ways using the sort rail above it: newest first, by how many outlets carried the same story, or strongest evidence first.
What this number means
window 72h
The deck only considers stories published in the last 72 hours. A brief about today should be about today, and a fixed horizon is what stops a quiet week filling the page with last month.
Everything older is kept in the archive, one page per day, with the note exactly as it read at the time.
01Today's Leads
The newest stories the deck has, in the order they were published. Where we have something of our own to say about one it is written underneath; where we do not, the card is the headline and the source, and that is the whole of it.

02The Watch
The second layer: what the creators covered, cross-referenced against the stories above. A story carried by both the outlets and the channels is the day's real lead.

AI Safety Will Never Be Solved 🤷🏻♂️
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts multiple a day; most on copilot (2)
Short developer-facing explainers at a high publishing cadence, on the tooling layer rather than the model layer: GitHub as a workspace, MCP, what happens when an agent deletes your code. The…

What People Are Building With Jev Is Incredible
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts multiple a day; most on gpt (4)
The most established channel here and the most willing to be unimpressed. Mixes model news with hardware and with commentary that sometimes argues against the prevailing read, which is rarer in this…

Automate your entire creative pipeline in minutes #ai #efficiency #marketing
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts every few days; most on claude (5), gpt (4), blender (2)
AI as it meets production craft: model releases read through what they change in an editing and animation pipeline, plus robotics and spatial work. A channel that asks what a tool does to the actual…

NVFP4: The Precision That NVIDIA Is Betting Everything On
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts weekly; most on deepseek (3), nvidia (2)
Research digest for people who want the mechanism. Covers papers the news cycle never reaches, with enough architecture detail to follow what changed and why it mattered. Roughly weekly.

Building a Harness with Jev
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts about daily; most on agents (2)
The framework's own channel. PRIMARY on its own releases and nothing else: when LangChain announces LangChain, this is the source rather than a report of the source, which is the one case where a…

AI Model "Black Boxes" Are Dangerous
MEASURED FROM 15 TITLES: posts about daily; most on gpt (2)
A working developer's read on model releases, judged by what they do to real codebases rather than by benchmark tables. Valuable precisely because it tests claims against practice. The register is…
LINK-ONLY. Nothing is embedded and no player exists on this site, so the view, the session and the subscribe all land with the creator. Discovery runs entirely on public channel feeds: no API, no key, no quota.
03Also Today
The same 72 hours, ordered by how many outlets ran the same story. Cluster size is the closest thing this deck has to a measure of what the industry thought mattered, and it is a measure of circulation rather than of truth.

04How This Page Is Made
The part most aggregators leave out. This is the short version; the full method, every rule and both refusals, lives on the methodology page, and that page governs.
What the tiers mean
The colour is an argument about evidence, not decoration, and it never carries the meaning alone: every chip is also a word.
- Primary (gold): the organisation said it itself, or this is the paper.
- Reported (cyan): an established outlet covering it.
- Commentary (violet): analysis, opinion, or community attention.
- Unverified (stone): unattributed, rumoured, or contradicted.
What we read, and what we do not
We read published feeds only. No article page is ever fetched, nothing is crawled, and no publisher's text is passed through a model to make a summary. Where a publisher's robots file asks AI tools to stay out, we carry the headline and the link and nothing else, whatever their feed happens to hand us.
Who is not here, and why
MIT Technology Review is excluded by policy. Blocks even the bots whose only job is to cite and send traffic. A publisher refusing the referral is asking to be left out, and honouring that is the difference between a curator and a scraper. Kept in this file, with its reason, so nobody re-adds it in six months without reading this line.
What the notes are
The writing under each lead is editorial framing, written from the headline, the source pattern and the evidence tier. It is not a summary of the article and should not be read as one. If you want to know what a piece says, the link is right there, which is the point of the page.
Disclosure
The notes on this page were drafted by an AI collaborator and are published under human editorial responsibility. Headlines, links, dates and source names come untouched from each publisher's own feed.

Removal
Any publisher or creator who would rather not appear here is removed within 24 hours, no argument and no negotiation. That is a standing policy, not a courtesy.
