About

The Takeoff Wire is written by Jackson Eippert. It covers AI developments with grounded commentary — focusing on real events, what they mean, and where things are headed.

The name comes from the conviction that we are in a takeoff period for AI capability, and that paying close attention to what's actually happening matters more than high-minded speculation about what might happen someday.

Some posts are short reactions to the latest model release or policy shift. Others are longer explorations of trends and ideas. All of them aim to be useful.
