SnoopX is a small reading space for people who follow technology closely and want the second draft of the news. We look at what is changing in AI, the platforms that run on it, and the people shipping it, then write down what matters and what is just noise.
What we publish
Long-form articles, mostly between 800 and 2,000 words, on three kinds of subjects:
- Single-story deep reads. A new model, a leaked system prompt, a contract dispute, a regulator’s move. One event, fully explained.
- Field rewrites. When a category shifts under us (say, agents, or video models, or election-related disinformation tooling), we go back to first principles and write the piece we wish had existed a year ago.
- Reading notes. Short pieces that put two or three recent papers, posts or news items in conversation with each other and ask whether a pattern is emerging.
How we pick a story
Three filters, in order:
- Will it still matter in six months? If the answer is yes, it is a story. If the answer is only this week, it is a post.
- Can we say something the original sources did not? We are not an aggregator. We only run the piece if we have an angle, a question, or a connection the original reporting missed.
- Have we read enough to be honest? If a story is moving faster than we can keep up with, we wait. Speculation with our name on it is the one thing we cannot walk back.
What we will not do
A short list, written down so you can hold us to it:
- We do not run sponsored posts, paid reviews, or affiliate links. If we ever change that, it will be marked clearly on the page.
- We do not publish AI-written drafts without a named human editor taking responsibility for them.
- We do not hide corrections. When a piece is updated, the change is logged at the bottom of the article, and the original text remains readable via a permalink in the changelog.
- We do not pretend to have sources we do not have. If a claim came from one place, we say so.
Who writes this
SnoopX is edited by Aeneas. Contributors are named on the pieces they write. We do not use pseudonyms for staff, and we do not use staff names for work we did not do.
How to send us something
The fastest way is the contact form. Tips, source material, corrections, complaints about something we got wrong — all of it is read. We do not publish tips without checking with the source first, and we protect anonymity where it is asked for.
