Everything, in one long list
Plus: I asked the AI to read them all and tell me which was best
When I started this column last year, I wasn’t sure exactly what the focus would be. But now I think I know: see below for a list of all the articles I have published here so far, grouped into the six themes which interest me the most.
By the way: I fed this long list into an AI and asked it to rank the articles by quality. I didn’t say what I meant by quality, I just let the AI decide. The answer came back that this was the best one so far.
Something to look at over the weekend? I appreciate the time you give me to be readers, and I hope you are getting something in return which you enjoy. Happy Friday, _ Sam
