The usual
questions.

Yet another AI newsletter — why this one?

Most AI newsletters either rehash Twitter or pad a list with everything that moved. We do the opposite: 8 stories per issue, max, each with one sentence of editor's context on why it matters. If a week is quiet, the email is shorter. We'd rather waste fewer of your Fridays than pretend everything's important.

How is this different from TLDR AI, Ben's Bites, or The Rundown?

Those are aggregators — broad, daily, optimized for not missing anything. We're weekly, opinionated, and built for people who ship: a developer's perspective on what's actually production-ready vs. demo-ware. Subscribe to both if you want — we won't be offended.

Can I read a sample issue before subscribing?

Yes — the archive opens with issue #001. Until then, the preview on the home page is a faithful mock of the format and editorial voice.

Is it really free?

Yes. Costs are covered by one or two clearly-labelled sponsor slots per issue. Never disguised as content. Never tracked across the web.

How do I unsubscribe?

One click — either from the link at the bottom of every issue, or via the one-click unsubscribe button Gmail/Apple Mail now show natively. No "are you sure?" gauntlet. No re-subscribe traps.

Do you write the stories yourselves, or is this AI-generated?

Stories are picked, summarised, and editorial-noted by a human (hi, Jarek). LLMs help with first-pass screening of hundreds of papers, but every piece that makes it into the inbox has been read end-to-end by a person. If you spot a hallucinated benchmark or a misattributed quote, reply to the email — replies hit a real inbox.

How often will I hear from you?

Once a week. Fridays around 10:00 CET. No back-fills, no "oh and one more thing" mid-week blasts, no upsell sequences. If we miss a Friday (illness, holiday), there's no make-up email — you just get the next one as normal.

Where can I propose a story or a sponsor slot?

Tips: just reply to any issue, or hit hi@aiweekradar.com. Sponsorship: see the /sponsor page for slot inventory and rates.

What's the deal with the "founding 500"?

The first 500 subscribers get a permanent founding-subscriber badge in their /manage page, first dibs on any future paid tier (if we ever add one), and an opt-in shout-out in issue #001. No fee, no obligation. It's a thank-you for backing the project before there was anything to back.
