Discourse monitor
How the monitored publications were assessed
Discourse valence across every scored item: what the sampled sources published and how independent models read it. It is not a measure of public opinion, not a measure of the state of the world, and article volume is not agreement.
Mean discourse valence per day · agi-timelines · last 365 days
The trend line needs at least two days of readings and there is one so far. It appears on its own once the pipeline has run across a second day. Today's readings are on the axis below.

Across the whole window
The two tables below describe every item in the last 365 days under agi-timelines. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter, because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.
