One of my favorite sites to read is Where’s Your Ed At?, which does deep-dives into sectors (like AI) or companies (like CoreWeave), often with a cynical angle. Ed does extraordinary research into his topics, and unlike Slope, which has a hundred rat-a-tat posts every week, Ed might come out with a few articles each month, tops.
