Opinion + commentary
Opinion coverage of AI splits into three useful categories: engineers who actually ship at frontier labs writing about what they shipped, economists and historians arguing about second-order effects, and pundits with priors. PulseAugur's opinion feed weights the first two, demotes the third, and clusters the cross-references (when Stratechery's Ben Thompson and Hacker News's tptacek and Latent Space's Swyx all weigh in on the same OpenAI move, that's one cluster). We surface this feed because the signal in opinion is real, but the noise floor is loud — clustering helps.
