A quick note before tomorrow
Hi everyone,
Tomorrow I’m launching an independent journalism platform covering AI infrastructure, security, policy, and the forces shaping what comes next.
I promise it will still be me: the same voice, the same curiosity, and the same occasional incredulity at the state of this industry. Just with a sharper focus and more room to go deep.
Over the past four years covering AI, most recently for Fortune, I’ve found that some of the most important stories aren’t happening in product demos or benchmark charts or hype cycles. They’re happening in research labs, data centers, boardrooms, government offices, and communities adapting to rapid technological change. Ground Level AI is my effort to follow those stories wherever they lead.
Because you’ve been part of this community (some of you when it was called Sharon’s AI Extra, before AI Side Notes!), I wanted to give you first access to a special founding reader rate before it goes public tomorrow.

This discounted rate will only be available to existing AI Side Notes subscribers and will disappear after launch tomorrow.
If you’ve found value in my reporting over the years, I hope you’ll consider supporting this next chapter. Independent journalism only works when readers decide it’s worth supporting, and I’d be honored to have you with me from day one.
Thank you for reading, sharing, replying, and following along. I’m excited to show you what I’ve been building.
See you tomorrow.
❤️
Sharon
