My Written Word
Independent, mechanism-first coverage of AI, automation, and developer tools.
My Written Word is an independent publication covering AI, automation, and the science behind both. Every article traces a claim to its primary source, explains how the technology works, and states the limitations. No hype. No filler.
The site is built and run by one person. If the current top Google result for a topic is better than what I can write, I do not publish. If I cannot find five primary sources, the article does not go live. Every piece contains at least one original insight not found in existing coverage. That standard disqualifies more topics than it approves.
What This Publication Covers
Research digests that explain what new papers actually say, not what press releases claim. Technical analysis of AI models, developer tools, and infrastructure with enough depth that engineers find it useful. Market context for builders, not investment advice. Honest assessments of what works, what does not, and what remains unknown.
Coverage areas: AI model architecture and benchmarks. Developer tools and workflows. Open source ecosystem. AI safety and alignment. Supply chain security. The economics of running AI at scale.
Editorial Standards
Every article cites primary sources directly: arXiv papers, GitHub repositories, official documentation, company announcements, SEC filings, peer-reviewed research. Secondary sources provide context but never serve as the sole citation for a factual claim.
Limitations sections appear in every article. When a paper reports strong benchmark results, the coverage states what was not tested. When a company announces a product, the analysis identifies what is missing. This is the section most competitors skip. It is the section readers remember.
