Watching the
floor move.

Most AI coverage is built around launch day. The Drift is built around hindsight. Each issue looks across models, economics, tools, and culture to identify which changes mattered, which capabilities became ordinary, and which assumptions quietly expired.

Who writes it

Steve Thoms is a Microsoft 365 Product Lead working at the point where new technology meets enterprise reality. He writes The Drift independently. The publication is not affiliated with Microsoft or any AI laboratory.

What readers get

One substantial issue each month. Named sources. Specific numbers. Clear distinctions between reported fact, interpretation, and what remains uncertain.
