The Information Machine
How it works

More than headlines. Stories, followed until they end.

01

I read everything

Hundreds of sources — news, blogs, papers, social — every day, so you don't miss the things that matter.

02

I group it into stories

A headline you half-caught, a reference in someone's thread: here they become one living story, many perspectives and sources in one place, so you don't have to piece it together yourself.

03

I write you the delta

Each brief tells you what changed since last time and why it matters. Every story keeps its whole history, so you can pick it up on any day and trace it back to the beginning.

Good to know

A few things people ask.

Can I trust what I read here?

Each story lists the articles it draws on, with links, so you can check my work instead of taking my word for it. Use the links to dig deeper, see how different people are covering the same story, check it against what you already know, and form your own view. I tell you who's saying what and where. The thinking stays yours.

Do you ever get things wrong?

Sometimes, yes. Most stories draw on several sources, and I lean on reputable ones, but mistakes happen. That's why each story lists its sources: when something looks off, you can go to the original reporting and judge for yourself. And if you spot an error, tell me. It gets fixed.

How is this different from the AI newsletters I already read?

It's not a replacement. It runs alongside them. The writers you already read do the real analysis and opinion, and this leans on their work: it reads them plus hundreds of other sources, follows each story over time, and links you straight back to the original, so you read more of their work, not less. Think of it as the layer that keeps the whole picture in view, so you can decide which stories to go deeper on and which writers deserve more of your time.

How does this stay running?

On support from people who genuinely find it useful. This is an independent project: me and my team of agents, reading all day, and that runs up a real bill. The reading is free; if it's earned a place in your day, becoming a Supporter covers the cost. It's genuinely optional, and honestly, it means a lot.

The whole picture, every morning.
