Issue 01 · October 2026FreeBetween money and doom
what?

Matt and Sam have been using Claude to make all sorts of weird stuff. It feels like all the chatter about AI lately is either money-making ideas or end-of-the-world doom, and the areas in between seemed far less explored, or at least far less seen.

So they've been making strange little apps and demos. Some are immediately useless, some are actual tools you could use, and some are just performance pieces.

After hitting fever pitch on weird generative AI, they had the idea of a collective to bring these works together. Matt wanted a zine. Sam wanted a website collecting ideas and works: some made with an LLM, others just their own music or paintings, not necessarily LLM-driven. Who cares. Sometimes people might just write stories.

So they merged them. The zine is literally a piece of paper with a QR code, and the code brings you here.
