HOW DID WE
GET HERE?
A daily record of the artificial intelligence developments we thought were worth understanding while they were actually happening.
The Idea
Today's news becomes tomorrow's history remarkably quickly.
Every morning, Humans Still Here selects a small number of developments that seem worth your attention.
When the next edition arrives, the previous one doesn't disappear. It comes here exactly where it belongs: attached to the day when we were all still trying to figure out what it meant.
Over time, those individual days become something larger: a chronological record of AI's development, the questions people were asking, the things we thought mattered, and occasionally the things everyone was extremely worried about for approximately 36 hours.
History is easier to understand when you can remember what we knew at the time.
The archive preserves the context, not just the outcome.Daily Editions
The things worth your attention each day.
Six is the target, not a quota. If only four things are genuinely worth understanding on a particular day, humanity will somehow have to survive with four.
The archive is getting its paperwork in order.

More than old headlines.
What we thought it meant
Our explanation of the development based on the information available when it happened.
What actually moved it
A record of meaningful Clock adjustments and the evidence and reasoning published alongside them.
How worried were we?
The daily assessment of what a reasonable human being might make of everything happening around AI.
What actually happened
A closer look at stories where the headline alone didn't provide nearly enough information.
The story kept developing
Meaningful later reporting and evidence can remain connected to the original development instead of pretending it happened twice.
