What's coming in AI, before it's obvious. Three times a week I take one AI story apart: who gets paid, what's real, and where it leads. You make your mind up.

The question every piece answers

What is the pattern, and what does it mean is coming?

Illustrations. The real ones name every source, show the evidence for every stamp and come with dates.

The back page

Every piece makes a call. We keep score.

Each piece ends with a prediction and the date it is due. When the date arrives, we mark it right, wrong or too close to call. The wrong ones go up as big as the right ones.

Misses included

Example board. Right: 14, Wrong: 5, Too close to call: 2, Not due yet: 9

An example of how the board reads. The full scoreboard opens once there are enough calls to count.

The panel

Ten judges read every draft blind: no byline, no author, no idea what Krish liked last time. Any of them can stop a piece. None of them can approve one.
