100% agree. AI is not just technology. It's not just business. It's society, politics, culture, identity - everything. We need more categories in general, but AI is especially worthy of a separate category.

In a lot of ways, AI is also witchcraft. Which is to say, even people very close to the industry don't always know or understand exactly how it works -- having the linear algebra skills to fine-tune, configure, and/or train a new model does not necessarily grant insight in the carbon or human costs of that same model.

I shouldn't speak for him, but I think Michael Spencer would agree with this and want to sign.

I’m transitioning now to Substack from LinkedIn and other SM, and an AI category would be super helpful!

You can add me to the list. It would make a big difference to many of us. Substack is actually writing about AI a lot in many ways, and for Newsletters to be able to identify their publications is a more targeted way is important for both readers and writers and monetization.

I agree, as AI is becoming transversal to all business and knowledge areas, which didn't happen with crypto. There is nothing that hasn't been touched by it in some way, it's waaay bigger than a tech subcategory.

Yes, 100% agree. It seems well overdue. I'm in.

I agree 100%.

AI is the most important technology trend of this era.

The excitement and interest around AI is here, real and permanent.

It deserves a high profile and its own category to serve and inform readers.
