The AI space produces more news in a week than most people can read in a month. TLDR AI cuts through it: what matters for engineers, researchers, and founders, delivered in under five minutes to over a million newsletter subscribers.
We're looking for a curator to help us decide what makes the cut.
About the Role
Five days a week (roughly an hour a day including the time you would usually spend keeping up with AI news), you'll pick the 6-8 stories that matter, cut the ones that don't, and write concise summaries that respect the reader's time.
About You
You are an engineer or researcher at a frontier lab or AI startup and spend a ton of time on x.com, arXiv, Hacker News, Discord, GitHub, and AI company blogs.
You consistently hear about interesting projects, startups, teams, papers, etc. before your friends.
Why You'll Love It
Access. TLDR curators have been invited to Google I/O, Meta Connect, OpenAI DevDay, and other major tech events.
Personal brand. Many curators use the role to grow their audience and reputation in AI. Many also angel invest or scout for VC funds.
Early access. You'll get first access to the products we're building in-house, including a new reader we're piloting this year for how people consume technical content (more on that once you apply).
Pay. Competitive rates.
