Hi, I'm Chris Albon.
I've been working in AI for a long time, currently as Director of Machine Learning at the [Wikimedia Foundation](https://wikimediafoundation.org), and over the years, I've developed a habit: reading something —- a blog post, an academic paper, a book —- and jotting down a thought in the margins. Sometimes it's a question, sometimes a connection to something else I've read, sometimes a thought that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to answer. They aren't conclusions, but artifacts of the thinking process.
This isn't a newsletter in the usual sense. No big insights. No deep dives. No glossy tutorials. Just my (previously private) working notes on AI.
