What is The Algorithmic Bridge?
It is the newsletter I couldn’t find: one that talks about AI the way people actually live.
It is for the reader who doesn’t need to be dazzled or reassured—just told the truth, with clarity and depth. It’s a space for exploring what AI is doing to people and society, without hype, panic, or jargon. No technical background required, only curiosity and a tolerance for discomfort.
Some weeks you’ll find careful reflections, others, sharp provocations. Always honest. Always a little upstream. If you’ve ever felt like the AI conversation is moving fast but saying very little, this is where we slow down, think harder, and say something real.
Most AI writing is hype, doom, or dumbed down. This isn’t. It’s deep, human, and actually useful if you want to stay sane while the future unravels. Subscribe if you're curious.
Why pay for another AI newsletter?
With so much free AI content out there, why subscribe to The Algorithmic Bridge? Here’s what sets my work apart, in three pillars:
Humanity. If something is missing in most treatments of AI is our role in all this mess. This is not just a newsletter about AI, but a newsletter about AI that’s actually about people. People are, and will be, at the heart of this project. I center my writing on how AI intersects with the human experience. What role do we play in this new world, and how can we find our way through it?
Commitment. I’ve been doing this for three years. I plan to keep doing it indefinitely. I’m grateful that I can dedicate every day to researching, reading, and writing to give you the most up-to-date news and thoughtful deep-dives. It is my full-time job and my primary source of income. Your financial support makes this project possible, and I sincerely thank you for that.
Honesty. I don’t do ads, sponsors, or partnerships. No company pays me to be their PR guy, which allows me to say things as I see them. In a world where there’s a lot of money to be made from AI—selling apps or selling hype—it’s crucial to have spaces free from hidden incentives. I strive to be that space. Always.
What do you get as a subscriber?
The Algorithmic Bridge costs $10/month or $100/year (which saves two months). I do discounts every few months. Paid subscribers get everything listed below. Free subs get a free post every few days.
Daily articles and essays. Some are free, some are paid. All are worth reading if you care about no-bullshit, no-pessimism coverage of AI.
Access to the full archive. Most of my articles include evergreen insights, not just timely news, which keeps them fresh for curious readers.
Weekly “Top Picks” review. I add much-needed context to the most important news each week, which is missing from the free daily roundups.
Exclusive deep dives. My most in-depth reporting paired with unique perspectives you won’t find elsewhere. Here are some examples:
Occasional Q&A, AMA, Polls. Paid subscribers can ask questions, share feedback, and help shape the direction of this newsletter.
See you around!
