Even on my summer break, I’m still aggregating some of the top News in my niche of A.I. I’ve built a few ways that you as a reader can keep up.
Advertise with me / Sponsor this Newsletter (Passionfroot).
This is the 6th issue of my minimalistic link based round-up for professionals who want to know easily what’s going on in A.I. News during the last week. It’s a separate Newsletter I’m building from zero. To sign up for free go here .
Previous Issues of The Generative A.I. Brief (TGAB) for Full Summer Reading on A.I.
This Newsletter is an off-shoot where I and others share relevant A.I. News links on Reddit. That Subreddit has blossomed slowly to over 750 members . What makes it different is each news article, infographic or video is tagged by category and flairs so you can find the latest news related to a category you might be following more closely.
