What happened

Hello, this is Katie Foley writing to you from London.

Why it matters

Welcome to today's edition of the Daily Open newsletter.

Common ground

Geopolitics generates noise, but AI keeps producing signal.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
