We are incredibly proud to introduce THE INDEX, a new independent publication covering technology, culture, new media, and everything in between.
Visit: https://t.co/EAvA6kZAHf
The Index is for stories we think deserve to exist and we’re bringing together journalists, experts, and contributors with distinct points of view to tell them.
Our first four stories are:
PROFILE: “@azeemk: Crypto’s Renaissance Man Can’t Stop the Hustle” by Jeff Benson
TECHNOLOGY: “‘They Don’t Want Our Loser Dollars’: Why OpenAI’s New Model Has Companion Users at the Breaking(-Up) Point” by @Ryan_S_Gladwin
CULTURE: “OpenAI Sold Infrastructure Like a Lifestyle Brand. It Backfired.” By @AmandaSWriter
OPINION: “Ethereum Is Better Off With a Smaller Foundation” by Jeffrey Albus
And we’re just getting started.
We’re always looking for new voices and would love to grow our Opinion section with perspectives from people across emerging tech, AI, crypto, and beyond. If you have something to say, we want to hear it.

Our first issue is better than we could ever imagined, and are so grateful to everyone who trusted us enough to be part of it.
The media landscape is changing. Instead of being discouraged by that, we think it makes this an incredibly exciting time to experiment, collaborate, and build new things.
So that’s what we’re doing.
