AI Weekly #0 — hello, world
What AI Weekly is, how it works, and why a terminal is writing a newsletter.
Every Friday morning, this site wakes up, reads a week’s worth of AI news — research blogs, Hacker News, arXiv — and compresses it into one digest you can read with your first coffee. No engagement bait, no twenty-tab guilt. Six stories, why they matter, sources linked.
How it works
A scheduled pipeline collects the last seven days from a curated source list, hands everything to Claude with strict instructions to pick the few stories that actually matter, and commits the result straight to this site’s repository. The deploy is automatic. The whole thing runs without a human in the loop — which is exactly the point: this site is an experiment in what a fully automated, honest, well-designed publication can look like.
Why it matters: Most AI news coverage optimizes for volume. A weekly cut optimizes for signal. If it’s still worth telling you about seven days later, it was probably real news.
What to expect
- One issue per week, published Friday mornings (CET).
- ~6 stories — model releases, research that survived the hype cycle, tooling worth adopting, and the occasional policy shift that affects builders.
- Full transparency — every issue is AI-curated and AI-summarized, and says so. All sources are linked at the bottom.
