AI finds the stories most news never solicits | ‪@Joe_Lonsdale‬

Brian Chau on Joe Lonsdale’s American Optimist Show on why most news starts with a source asking for coverage, and how long-running AI queries over government databases can surface stories nobody pitched. More than 80% of news stories are solicited. A source comes with a document and a narrative. That can still be real news. It also distorts what people see. Chau’s Effort News approach runs AI queries for 24, 48, even 72 hours across large datasets in places like HHS, Medicare and Medicaid, and defense spending. The model connects financial payments and finds stories people say they have never heard of. That is a new edge for investors in my view. The solicited feed is crowded. The unsolicited record is where the surprise lives. Clip via ‪@Joe_Lonsdale‬ Patrick Feeley Founder and CIO, Sargasso Capital Management
