Who the news put in the same sentence
Every story in the archive, replayed in order. Each dot is one of the 120 names that turn up most often. A line lights up when a story names two of them together, and stays behind as a faint trace. Select any dot to follow it.
- A line is not a deal
- Rivals, litigants and regulators get linked just as partners do. Any two names in one story are linked.
- Names are merged
- Google, Alphabet and DeepMind count as one, as do the other spellings of the biggest companies. Generic subjects like “AI” or “Big Tech” are left out.
- Volume is the pipeline’s
- The bars under the timeline show how many stories Pulse24 recorded each week, which changed with the pipeline, not only with the news.

Gone quiet · Reddit, Trump administration, TikTok — each carried eight or more events in the archive and none in the last ninety days.
Listed vs not · 47.9% of coverage we can classify by listing status goes to companies that are not publicly traded — effectively unchanged from 50.0% the quarter before. OpenAI and Anthropic alone account for 14.1% of every named-subject event in the archive. Listing status is a maintained list, not archive data; it covers 33.0% of named-subject events.
Method
Every figure is a full count of the archive, not a sample. Coverage runs 25 Mar 2025 to 18 Oct 2026.
Shares are reported rather than totals because publishing volume is not constant — 1,142 events in the current window against 482 before it. Comparing raw counts across those windows would show a decline everywhere and mean nothing.
Subject labels are normalised onto head entities, so Google DeepMind and Google Cloud count as Google. Generic labels such as “AI” or “Big Tech” are excluded.
The archive, in its own words.
Artificial intelligence infrastructure demands face severe capital and regulatory strain while markets suffer tech sell-offs. Major semiconductor profits soar alongside surging hardware exports, yet growing security threats, stringent copyright battles, and emerging corporate risk assessments challenge global technology expansion.
