Cracked Claude Cowork and Codex Club aims to be the 2026, Phoenix, AI version of the Homebrew Computer Club of the 1970s, where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak met Paul Terrell, who gave Apple its first major order of 50 Apple I computers.

Though accessible and welcoming to anyone, some of the discussion may fly over your head if you are not already comfortable with AI (Claude/Codex/Gemini/Grok). Please join us if you'd like to keep your finger on the pulse of the frontier of capability of these models and more.
