📊 Real Figures
The flagship column. Data-driven intelligence covering three dimensions: AI cultural penetration (how deeply has AI entered news discourse across five regions?), crypto structural convergence (are crypto markets maturing toward traditional asset behavior?), and factor-based stock evaluation (weekly cross-sectional picks with transparent methodology). All conclusions from numbers: no buy/sell signals, no hype, no predictions. Just what the data says and what it means.
🤖 AI Era Observer
The centrepiece. A weekly newsletter tracking AI's technology lifecycle: from arXiv papers through Hacker News discussion to GitHub implementations and HuggingFace model releases.
Each issue covers:
- Topic Map — Classifies the week's papers by technology area — identifies what's hot and what's fading
- arXiv Top 5 — AI-scored papers with curated "why this matters" commentary
- HN Hot Topics — Community discussion that reveals what practitioners actually care about
- GitHub Signal — New and trending AI repositories worth watching
- HF Model Watch — Models gaining traction across tasks — from text generation to image to speech
A premium tier unlocks five additional sections: Sleeper Hits (papers the crowd missed), Keyword Bursts (trend shifts over time), the So What Matrix (importance × relevance sorting), Institutional Scoreboard (who's publishing what), and Tech Genealogy (tracing a paper's intellectual lineage).
Updated weekly.
