  Hey patrons, I mentioned it on today's podcast, but if you haven't heard, I had this wild and possibly sort of stupid idea to do a sort of daily AI news update for patrons only. I'm really looking at ways to make the Patreon have more value, to give you more reason to sign up and to stay signed up, and to feel like you're getting something extra. I threw together a little short kind of news idea, and it might be ambitious to commit to a daily update. I'm going to see how that works with my schedule, how I can refine things and make it fit in, and don't expect a large amount of editing on this. My thought is that I'm just going to approach this as a one-and-done kind of dirty, but here's three big news items for today. Sometimes the news items won't be the same ones that you hear on the podcast, as is the case today, because I decided to do this right after the podcast. Some of these news items didn't actually make it into the show, but you're going to get it right now. For now, I'm going to release these daily news clips for all patrons, including free patrons, the idea is that somewhere in the near future this would move behind the Patreon paywall. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what tier it attaches to, but for now it's a taste of what you might expect. Tell me in the comments what you think. If you have any ideas, please share. I really do appreciate you. Thank you, patrons!
