Most emails this month went out on or after the 20 November 2025 homepage was posted. Email was being held up because we had questions about the five AI platforms that we use extensively: What is their role? How do we best optimize use of them? It was a process that was actively unfolding and it was not clearly understood.
Also, it has become clear that we should have a separate file for email. For example, here is October’s email. And, here are the emerging emails for this month:
