Analysis: a thesis, the evidence for it, and the case against

Analysis is planned, and nothing is published here yet. When it opens, this section will take a position on where AI is going: the models, the companies behind them, the tool market they feed, and what those shifts mean for the people using and paying for all of it. It will show the evidence that position rests on, including the evidence that cuts against it. A piece runs when the argument survives that test, not when the subject is timely.

What this section will be

• — Every piece will open with a thesis stated in one sentence that a reader can disagree with.
• — Each claim carrying the thesis will name its source and the evidence label it qualifies for.
• — Every piece will include a countercase section stating the strongest opposing read of the same facts.
• — The unknowns that would change our conclusion will be listed in the piece instead of left out of it.
