Core concepts: Catch up with AI - Fortnightly

A 60-minute roundup of what actually happened in AI over the last two weeks.

AI moves faster than any industry in recent memory. A new flagship model ships every few weeks. A tool you were using last month has been superseded by something twice as good. Keeping up is a full-time job that nobody has time for. This session is the shortcut. Aimed at busy people who want to stay current without reading a hundred blog posts, watching ten hours of YouTube, or doom-scrolling AI Twitter. If you use AI at work and want to make sure you’re not missing the thing that would save you ten hours a week, or you’re avoiding AI and want an honest read on whether that’s still tenable — this session is for you. By the end of the 60 minutes you will: • Know the major model releases, product launches, and research milestones from the last two weeks — with honest takes on which ones matter. • Know what, if anything, changed about the tools you’re already using. • Have a clear view of the trend lines: what’s accelerating, what’s plateauing, what’s going sideways. • Have asked anything you wanted about what you’ve been seeing in the news or at work. How the session runs: 40 minutes of structured walkthrough — model releases, product launches, industry/policy news, and one or two research highlights worth knowing. Each item gets a "matters / noise" call, not a press-release recap. Last 20 minutes are open Q&A on anything in the AI world you want a read on. Bring curiosity. No prep. No laptop required — this is a conversation, not a workshop.
