Sources
Every day at noon, AI Zeitgeist reads the sources on this page, currently 89 plus 81 news searches, and a language model distils what was said into short verbatim quotes. This is the reading list, not a list of endorsements: sceptics sit next to vendors on purpose. Every quote on the wall and in the archive links back to its source, and wherever it can be found, that is the original, not a copy of a copy.
