This is a spinoff of my main newsletter, [*Complex Machinery*](https://newsletter.complex-machinery.com/). *Complex Machinery* includes a section called "In Other News..." where I list one-liners about interesting articles that didn't fit into any segments. You can think of this list as a version of In Other News, but with a wider remit than Complex Machinery's "risk, AI, and related topics." # What's the format? Each issue of *In Other News* is a curated list of links to articles. I add a sentence or two for a description, I name the source, and that's it. It's intentionally barebones and simple, designed for quick skimming. You can review the [archives](https://inothernews.complex-machinery.com/archive/) to get a sample. # How often does *In Other News* land in my inbox (or RSS feed)? Once a week, on Wednesday mornings. # Who's behind this newsletter? Just like its parent newsletter [*Complex Machinery*](https://newsletter.complex-machinery.com/), *In Other News* is written by me, Q McCallum. You can read more about me [on my website](https://qethanm.cc/) but the gist is: I've spent my career in and around the emerging-tech space, and I've been in *(The Field We Currently Call)* AI since the early days of "predictive analytics" and "Big Data." These days my work sits at the intersection of risk and AI. I write a fair amount (between newsletters, [my blog](https://qethanm.cc/news), [books](https://qethanm.cc/publications), and the occasional article on [O'Reilly Radar](https://www.oreilly.com/people/q-mccallum-2/)) and also read quite a bit. *In Other News* is a space to share some of what I've been reading each week. # I'm sold!
