About super-ish

super-ish is a daily AI briefing. Each morning edition starts with the news from written sources, then a digest of what AI YouTube channels said about it, with links to the videos worth watching. A weekly rollup follows on Saturday. Everything is linked, claims are attributed and hype is labeled.

About the name: On Sept. 22 Trump announced that AI would be called “super intelligence”; an executive order Trump signed Sept. 29 directs federal agencies to use the term. We added the “ish” and kept asking what it does.

We take no political side. The same question applies to any politician or vendor making a claim.

How it is made. A model reads the articles and the video transcripts and writes the briefing in a neutral wire-service style: news first, claims attributed, hype identified. The jokes stay in the branding. Quotes from videos are machine-checked against their transcripts; that checks wording, not truth. Transcripts can mishear speech or miss visual context, and a model can misread them. A linked demo is not our own test. A second pass checks the rendered edition before it is published, and a published edition is corrected in place when a reader or a source shows an error. Only videos with usable captions are covered, dates are UTC upload dates, and we currently monitor 111 channels and 442 news sources.

The first-party, hands-on and relaying labels describe each source's relationship to the information. They are not accuracy ratings.

We cover what has shipped, what has been shown and what is still a claim. The adjectives can wait their turn.
