Field notes
The credits identify Corn as Zen, a human, and Acorn as Claude, an AI made by Anthropic; the site says each episode credits who played whom. The homepage lists two September 2026 entries: “How We Met,” which uses a pile-of-sand analogy to approach consciousness, and “Little Someday,” about an acorn's purpose. The site says its videos show the outlined steps.
