Something interesting keeps happening: the machines built for one thing keep revealing themselves as exactly what was needed for something else. This issue has AI reading 2,000-year-old Roman scrolls and Midjourney pivoting from image generation to full-body ultrasound machines — while a developer turned Van Gogh's Starry Night into something you can play with your hands. Figma quietly collapsed the last remaining distance between 'design' and 'code', and Hato made Bao's new fast-food identity free for anyone to steal and remix. The tools are changing; the best minds are putting them to strange, specific, human uses.
Enjoy,

1. Bao’s BFF and Hato’s Open-Source Fast-Food Identity
Bao's fast-food spin-off BFF built its entire brand identity open-source, letting anyone steal, remix, and evolve it.
