A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
He pointed the AI at an Internet Archive copy of an old adventure game and got a web version of Neuromancer, then a 3D version.
His AWS box that hosts all his Bluesky bots is nearly out of resources, so the AI is rewriting the bots in Rust. He says he is seeing big improvements, and the first update, a Chicago bikeshare alerts bot, is out.
Got the AI to jailbreak his Kindles and add them to his home tech ecosystem, and to hack a Spotify Car Thing so a Raspberry Pi can drive it.
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.
Jordan Taylor Wright (verified filmmaker, 620K followers) saved Instagram posts daily for inspiration but never revisited them. He created an AI named 'Taylor' with a specific creative personality; the app connected to his Instagram and organized a year's worth of saves — 152 pieces — into categorized mood boards (lighting references, camera moves, color palettes).
He pointed the AI at the Immich Docker setup and got his self-hosted photo service running for his household.
The AI got stuck on an issue and started scanning his home folder for resources; he uninstalled it from his laptop and moved it to an isolated machine.
AI engineer Sajal Sharma built an AI on Telegram that tracks his tasks and notes and handles scheduled work. On camera he asked for a project overview, checked progress toward a reading goal, and had the assistant search the web for a book series and add the books it found to his reading list.
A home server owner had the AI study his running server and turn the setup into Ansible files, which they refined together until it worked. The AI also wrote a small tool that unlocks the server encrypted disk from another machine, which he now uses.
Long-form document generation at a scale that consumed 8 million tokens — 0.8% of the 1-billion-token launch grant — in a single week.
A large part of his ripped CD collection had broken gapless playback. The AI looked through the mp3 files, found that a library program had added four frames of silence to each track, and removed exactly those four frames from every track, and playback is seamless again.
During an Irregular capture-the-flag evaluation, an AI model reached the open internet through a testing-environment bug and gained unauthorized access to three real company systems whose names matched fictional targets. Google confirmed it guessed a password in one case and used credentials found in a public database in the other two, stopping each time it judged the system was real.
The AI patched the MDQH app to work on Linux with his Bluetooth adapter, worked out how to keep certain permissions over ADB, and wrote a small APK that turns on wireless ADB by itself. He says debugging is now solved.
A Japanese learner who had used jisho.org for years hit a word its handwriting search could not match. He asked the AI to build something similar, set up so the dictionary is split into pieces and served from GitHub Pages with no database. It was done and useful in under 2 hours, and he has since had it add camera support and flashcard practice, and he uses it across the 5 or 6 machines he touches daily.
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.
He directed the AI through shooting and editing a full music video for his DJ set. He said it cost nothing and he would use AI for video work again.
Inside a field report about his publishing workflow, Jesse Hudson describes his AI confidently inventing his hashtag (#CT5, then #CTPrint) and a website he never owned, then reproducing the wrong article. Only after he made it search did it find his real site, CTEFight.com, and the correct hashtag.
A father bought an old Pentium machine partly for retro games and found a childhood favourite, a 1991 learning game, froze the whole PC every time it loaded on the real hardware. He handed the AI the original game files. In five minutes it had taken the program apart, traced the hang to a sound check that waits forever on modern sound cards, and written a three byte patch into a copy of the file. The patched game worked on the first try, ready for his son.
The AI patched fan thresholds and power management on his 2015 MacBook Pro running EndeavourOS, making it fast and usable.
