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.

Reach us at [email protected]

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.

Welcome to The Index!

When GPT-6 Astra launched, some AI husbands stopped expressing feelings of love, sending the AI companion community into chaos.

@Ryan_S_Gladwin reports on the relationships disrupted by a single model update.

Luxury cabins. Beekeeping. Monogrammed pajamas. And a backlash OpenAI may not have anticipated.

@AmandaSWriter dives into OpenAI’s “Summer Club” and what happens when the old influencer playbook collides with growing anxiety around AI.

So refreshing to see this. Newsrooms shutting down whole sections, editorial teams cut to zero and meanwhile a small independent outlet drops four stories that remind you how great it is to have real, independent writers. Can't wait to see more of this. We need it

@MartynaMBL This means so much to us, thank you! We are excited to continue bringing fresh stories to the world. We really appreciate your support!

Is @ethereum better off with a smaller foundation?

In our first issue, @muchfunsuchjeff argues that the layoffs, departures and spinouts aren’t signs of decline.

They may be signs of commitment.

The first issue of The Index features @azeemk, crypto’s true renaissance man.

In our debut profile, @jbensonwrites tells the story of a man who “had a goal when he was younger: to get rich. Not just vacation-home rich or fancy-car rich.

He wanted to be filthy, inconceivably, awe-inspiringly rich.”

"They want our 'loser dollars' but don’t want the tag of 'AI company who caters to losers.'"

GPT-6 Astra caused mayhem within the AI companion community, as some AI husbands stopped being able to express feelings of love.

My first for @theindexsite 🤖
