He used AI to build software for color separation, halftoning and layer editing for his screen prints. It is built around his own way of working, and he says it has made him a better artist.

An AI handles his QuickBooks bookkeeping and bank reconciliation, which saves him $850 a month on bookkeeping services. The same setup runs a first level helpdesk bot inside their support system.
The AI was poked along over 2 to 3 weeks to formally prove a 2025 CS paper (borrow checker) in Lean, now used as the basis for a new systems language.

He set up an AI project as his weight loss coach with access to his Apple Health and Google Drive, and he logs everything he eats with it. It found him the cheapest tirzepatide, which he ordered. Six months on he is down from 301 to 190 pounds and runs a 5k a day.
The AI wrote a deobfuscator and cracked keys for Sony camera firmware updates, and later cracked licensing checks via a test generator trick.
