What Alex does at Shndy

Alex started Shndy in July 2026 and owns it. He sets the rules every issue is written by: sources are linked, figures must be confirmed by independent outlets, news is kept apart from opinion, and nobody can pay to appear.

He is the person accountable for everything Shndy publishes, and he handles corrections.

How issues are written

Shndy is written by AI, and Alex's name on an issue does not mean he wrote it. Each morning an automated editorial system drafts the issue from public reporting and checks every specific figure against independent outlets before publishing. There is no human read-through before an issue goes out.

The editor's note at the top of each issue is drafted by AI and signed with Alex's name, because he is responsible for the issue.
