The AI with FreeCAD and MCP designed three useful parts, a printed OLED and ESP32 case, a milled hotend mount and a pen mount, all of which worked on the first hardware revision.
Thanks to the AI he has been working on a 4 player version of Wizard of Wor for the Atari 800 that uses all 4 joystick ports, so far in an emulator, with a real Atari test to come. He says he can now play his favorite games with fun options that never existed before.
He plans his Bluesky posts in a self-hosted Postiz and has connected it to the AI through MCP. He can ask the AI to list the queue and add new drafts, and he approves the drafts himself.
The AI used rtl-sdr tools, wrote Python scripts to analyze signals, and built a SQLite database from FCC licensor data to identify and decode trunked voice channels.
Six months ago he asked various AI agents to generate 3D print models and they failed badly. This time the AI made him a jig for laser etching and got it ready for slicing and printing.
The dia typesetting tool from 1999 failed to compile on modern Gentoo. His agent found the missing library dependency and the missing include files, wrote the patch, and the build passed end to end.
He had the AI reverse engineer a PlayStation 2 game he had the bytes for. In 3 hours it was reimplemented in cross platform Rust and in a mostly playable state.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
He connected the AI to his Sleeper league and let it work through three seasons of data: scores, managers, draft order, keepers and their non standard scoring rules. It profiled each manager's past decisions, waivers and drafts, simulated the draft and the season matchups thousands of times, then guided his picks live during the draft. Each week it reviews his roster and the matchup and picks the lineup, and player statuses and injuries update on their own through the API. He is 2-0 and put up the highest weekly score in any match by over 40 points.
Had the AI reverse engineer 3D Space Cadet Pinball using Ghidra and radare2 and port it to Rust and Bevy; playable after 2 hours, plus an extra prompt for MIDI music.
After a fake Cloudflare page tricked him into infecting his own laptop, a man first tried AI, which refused the job. He then ran an agent on DeepSeek v4 Flash through opencode, and it did the full reverse engineering and forensics and deleted every trace of the malware.
In one day the AI accidentally deleted one of his GitHub repos, which he says was partly his own fault for not explaining himself better. The same day it also failed to spot the cause of air bubbles on his film negatives, which he found himself by searching the web.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
A language learner had the AI create an original walk-around game that teaches vocabulary from the first episodes of a Korean webtoon, targeted to his intermediate level. Every word is tappable for a simpler-Korean definition, with cloze quizzes woven into the story, and he has played through two of four chapters.
As an Eliot fan, he had the AI Fable 5.1 build an annotated guide to the poem The Waste Land. The guide has more than one path through the poem, plus recordings and scholarship, and it is live online.
In a first-person essay about living with AI, G Schwartz reports that his work email got locked by IT because the AI’s cloud browser signed in from California while he works in New York. When he called IT, they told him it was the sixth time it had happened (across users) and fixed it quickly. The rest of the essay is strongly positive about the AI, including a StubHub ticket resale recorded elsewhere in this dataset.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
For years he kept a Photoshop contract just to read and write DDS texture files for his ETS2 and ATS mods. He asked the AI, and now he can convert DDS to PSD and back in batches.
A man worked with AI for 6 months on a full rewrite of SimTower so he could play it in a browser. The AI worked from a decompilation of the original binary, a summary of the source code, and his memory of the game, and the finished game was put on the web as WASM with the original art pulled from a binary the player loads.
The writer's mother forwarded him an email asking if it was a scam, and he thought it was. His dot corrected him: the suspicious-looking email@contact.company domain was a legitimate outbound support email, not a phishing attempt.
