AI ships something new every hour. Most of it does not matter yet. The AI Five exists to tell you which five things do, every four days, in five minutes.

I'm a graduate of Spelman College, where I studied International Studies with a focus on International Development and Foreign Investment. That training is about one habit: never trust the announcement, check what people on the ground are actually doing. I bring the same habit to AI.

So every item in an issue has to clear a thread of real users on Reddit before it clears me. A new model has to have people reporting what it does better. A tool has to have people who installed it. A company move has to change what you can build, not what a press release says. Then I write it up in plain language, link the thread and the primary source, and keep it to five.
