The morning in one thread.

Today turns on three things: the ceasefire talks entering their decisive day, an open-weights release scrambling the AI race, and a chip earnings beat that says the demand story isn't done. Watch the talks — everything else prices off them…

Fair questions

№ 02 — Before you pay

No — and that's deliberate. The desk works from headlines, publisher descriptions and your feed context, then writes original recaps. Nothing is scraped or reproduced; the "Read full story" link always goes to the publisher.

The paper still prints. Every AI surface falls back gracefully to publisher snippets — you never hit a broken page, just a quieter one.

No. Your signals stay on your account and only tune your own ranking. The "why you're seeing this" receipt shows exactly what they did.

Any time, in one tap from Profile. You drop back to Free and keep your tuned feed — the ranking is yours, not Premium's.
