October sponsors-only newsletter

AI introduction

On November 3, Simon Willison sent out his October sponsors-only monthly newsletter, covering the October inflection point in vibe game development, rising bug concerns, LLM releases, subscriptions of $100+ per month in exchange for API credits, and the software he has been using lately plus his own software releases. Sponsors (or new sponsors) can read it immediately, the September issue is open as a preview, and paying $10/month gives access one month early.
