Asterisk’s about page describes a San Francisco Bay Area perspective and a focus on examining assumptions and evidence. Published by nonprofit Obelus, Inc.; supported by donors, subscriptions and a Coefficient Giving grant. Print subscriptions cost money; this entry links to free online reading.
Marc Andreessen's 2020 essay arguing that the response to stalled progress is to build — new companies, institutions and technology — rather than defend what already exists.
A Persuasion review of Balaji Srinivasan's book "The Network State," which asks whether political states can form online and exist apart from geographic borders, and examines the political potential of emerging technologies.
memQ is a quantum networking company combining quantum science, materials and photonics to build extensible quantum network architecture for industry, research and government.
Why I recommend it: This is a company's own site, so read it as marketing. memQ sells quantum networking hardware and services; nothing here is a free learning resource beyond an overview of the field.
Independent daily reporting on India's startup and internet economy: funding rounds, filed company financials, fintech regulation and shutdowns. Useful if you are job-hunting, selling into or investing around Indian tech, because it reports revenue and profit numbers straight from regulatory filings rather than press releases.
Why I recommend it: Free to read and ad-supported, with a paid newsletter sold alongside it. Coverage is India-first, so treat it as a regional source, not a global one.
The manufacturer's own pages for the humanoid and four-legged robots you keep seeing in viral videos — H2, G1, R1, A2, B2, Go2 and the L2 lidar unit. Each model page lists the specifications, dimensions, sensors and intended uses, and the news section posts the demonstration videos. This is the clearest free way to see what commercially available 'physical AI' hardware actually is, rather than what a clip implies.
Why I recommend it: Free to browse, and useful as a reality check when someone tells you robots are about to take every job — read the specifications, the battery life and the intended use. Two flags: this is a company selling its own products, so the videos are marketing and not independent testing, and the robots are expensive hardware, not something you can try. The site itself warns users not to modify the robots or use them in dangerous ways.
The original home of SHAttered — the February 2017 research by Google and CWI Amsterdam that produced the first practical public SHA-1 collision, two different PDFs with the same hash. The paper and both colliding files are still downloadable, so you can check the hashes yourself. The site now also runs a high-volume news and explainer feed covering cryptography, security, chips, cloud and cryptocurrency.
Why I recommend it: Free, no paywall. Two halves, and they deserve different levels of trust. The 2017 SHA-1 collision material is genuine, checkable primary research and still the best way to see a broken hash function with your own eyes. The current news feed is a different thing: posts appear every few minutes, carry no named author, and the site also covers 'provably fair' crypto gambling, which sits close to affiliate territory. I have deliberately not wired it into the headlines here — use the archive, and confirm any breaking claim against a named outlet before you repeat it.
News, investigations and analysis at the intersection of technology, crypto and finance.
Why I recommend it: News source added to the Technology & Ethics feed. Coverage focuses on crypto, tech companies and financial investigations. Articles are free to read; the site may carry advertising or sponsorship. Feed: https://protos.com/feed/
Capital One's full-time rotational programs for new graduates, covering technology, data, business analysis, product, design, audit and management tracks. Associates rotate across teams for a set period with structured mentorship, then settle into a role. The page lists each program and links to its current openings.
Why I recommend it: These are paid graduate jobs, not training you buy, and applying costs nothing. Rotational programs suit you if you do not know which team you want; if you already do, a direct role gets you there faster. Openings are seasonal, so search the listings rather than trusting the overview page, and check each posting for the degree year and work-authorization requirements before you spend time on the application.
A long-running cybersecurity news site covering breaches, vulnerabilities and, increasingly, AI-related security incidents.
From the site: The Hacker News is the top cybersecurity news platform, delivering real-time updates, threat intelligence, data breach reports, expert analysis, and actionable insights for infosec professionals and decision-makers.
Why I recommend it: Free to read with ads and newsletter prompts. Good for spotting AI security stories early; headlines can be urgent in tone, so check the underlying advisory.
A long-running publication covering breakthroughs and trends in science and technology, with a strong focus on AI, robotics, biotech, and the broader technological frontier. Free to read; non-editorial content from sponsors and partners is labeled.
Founder of xAI, Tesla and SpaceX; posts regularly on AI, entrepreneurship and technology.
From the site: https://t.co/ZdBx5WABYx

Daily reporting on AI, science and technology, with a running focus on where AI claims meet reality. Free to read.
From the site: Discover the latest science and technology news on breakthroughs that are shaping the world of tomorrow with Futurism.
Why I recommend it: Skeptical by habit, which is useful — it covers the AI stories that companies would rather see written kindly. Headlines run hot, so read the piece before repeating it.
Writer, technologist and entrepreneur. A long-running blog about making culture and technology since 1999.
From the site: A blog about making culture. Since 1999.
Trade publication covering AI in business: deployments, vendors, executives and industry reports.
From the site: The No.1 Magazine, Website, Newsletter & Webinar service covering AI, Machine Learning, AR & VR, Data, Technology and AI Applications.
Why I recommend it: Written for buyers of AI, so it skews positive about products. Good for learning the vocabulary used in job descriptions.
Essays, interviews and testimony from the former Google chief executive on AI, national competition and technology policy.
From the site: Read about new efforts that Eric Schmidt is involved in and views on critical issues shaping society today.
Why I recommend it: He invests in and advises on the industry he writes about, so read this as an interested party's argument rather than neutral analysis.
Open wiki encyclopedia covering computing, science and technology topics, edited collaboratively.
From the site: HandWiki is a wiki encyclopedia for collaborative editing of articles on computing, science, technology and general knowledge. Registered users can post and edit articles, books, manuals and tutorials. Login or request account using the top-right menu. We strongly encourage editors to use their real...
Why I recommend it: Useful as a starting point on a technical term, not as a citation. Open wikis vary in quality article to article — follow its sources.
Daily startup and technology news: funding rounds, launches, acquisitions and industry moves, written short.
From the site: TechStartups | Reporting on today's technology news, startups, AI innovations, and venture capital funding
Why I recommend it: Good for spotting who just raised money in a field you want to work in — a funded company is usually a hiring company.
Microsoft's own announcements and positions on AI, work and policy.
Why I recommend it: This is the company speaking for itself, which makes it a primary source and an advertisement at the same time. Useful for knowing what it is committing to publicly.
Daily AI news and explainer site covering models, tools, research and industry moves, free to read with no account.
From the site: Artificial intelligence news, research, interviews, funding updates, AI tools, machine learning, robotics, cybersecurity, healthcare AI, and emerging technology analysis.
Why I recommend it: Good breadth, and clearly labeled review posts that carry affiliate links — read those as marketing, the news as news.
Official news from CERN, the European particle physics laboratory: accelerator and experiment updates, computing and engineering write-ups, and knowledge-sharing pieces, filterable by topic and audience (general public, students, educators, policymakers). Free to read, no account.
Why I recommend it: Worth following if you want technology news written by the people doing the work rather than by a tech press cycle. The Computing and Knowledge sharing topics are the useful filters for a career audience — CERN publishes plainly about large-scale computing, data handling and open-source work, and the writing is aimed at non-specialists.
