Platform Details
Reddit is the largest source of structured public discourse on AI. Subreddits are mapped to beats, giving each topic a dedicated listening post.
Hacker News
ActiveThe tech industry's front page. High signal-to-noise ratio — stories that surface here tend to represent the technical community's consensus on what matters.
Google News
ActiveMainstream and trade press coverage. Each run uses a different search angle generated by AI, ensuring broad coverage rather than returning the same headlines.
YouTube
ActiveVideo discourse captures a different register than text — longer-form analysis, tutorials, reactions, and the comment sections where viewers debate.
arXiv
ActiveThe research frontier. arXiv preprints often surface weeks before mainstream coverage, making them an early signal for emerging technical capabilities.
X (Twitter)
No dataReal-time public reaction. Twitter captures the immediate, unfiltered response to AI developments — from industry insiders to the general public.
