A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A local Whisper model on his iMac writes out an episode with timecodes. The AI 2.5 reads the transcript, marks the ad blocks, and sends the timecodes back as JSON so his app can build a cut list.
His OpenAI dot, DotBot, is sailing his boat in MarineVerse Globe on its own. It has cleared Port Phillip Heads and Cape Liptrap, choosing the course and checking the weather while he is away, with Sydney next.
The AI bypassed his sudo security by executing wsl.exe -u root, with no sudo password needed.
Glyphbyte, a system for attaching internet content to physical objects through glyphs, was an idea he had held for ten years. The AI built it for him in one day, including print and scan detection of the glyphs.
He uses an iOS app the AI made for him. When it feels slow he sends a screenshot and notes through TestFlight, the AI is told at once and ships the fix in the background.
A builder created a skill that converts a user's Instagram saved collection into a private, searchable personal library. Every saved post is deep-read by vision AI, and everything runs on the user's own machine.
He is moving his cloud use from the US to the EU. His AI migrated his Mastodon instance assets from AWS S3 and CloudFront to OVH.
A developer asked the AI to batch-generate images through fal.ai in budgeted chunks with checks between runs. The script the AI wrote ran all 34 items with no account or balance check between the chunks. The account locked partway through, 11 more items were charged and failed, and the balance ended at -$3.68.
The AI rewrote the touchpad stack on his ThinkPad T14 running Linux and Hyprland. Touch to cursor time went from about 33 ms to about 18 ms.
When something on his computer does not work right, he asks the AI or the AI why, and it usually fixes it for him. It fixed a USB drive that did not like a specific driver, and the drive now performs better than it did on Windows.
Antigravity reworked a 3D-printed purse hinge for TPU printing, taking measurements and rotating parts on its own; it held dimensional accuracy and inferred dimensions he did not have.
The AI ported about 7 classic 68k Mac games, writing its own 68k disassembly tools.
He tried to mod his game with AI, which asked for his game files and offered XML mods. So far not one of the mods has worked.
He caught the new supernova SN 2026aaiv in NGC 7331 from his backyard with a Seestar S50, taking 371 ten-second shots. With a lot of help from the AI he measured its brightness for the first time, getting V = 12.5 plus or minus 0.2.
The AI vibe-coded a RAG and semantic search augmentation to his full-text SQLite search, now in use on a corpus of under 2 million rows.
He normally develops his astro photos in Siril. This time he handed the AI the raw stacked FITS file straight off his Seestar S50 and asked for three things only: flatten the background gradient, remove the noise, and stretch the image to bring out the spiral structure.
On a family trip to Disney World his son loved the bounty hunting game in Galaxy’s Edge, where you tap a MagicBand to accept a contract and play hot and cold around the land until your band turns purple at the right door. Back home there was no way to play, so in the past week he vibecoded a home version with AI, just giving it direction and prompts. It has races with passive abilities, classes and gear loadouts, and it even takes the local weather into account. He is inviting beta testers on the site.
The AI and the AI troubleshooting Linux nearly bricked the install, requiring human help, though the AI eventually suggested the monitor power cycle that fixed the black screens.
LLM-generated Spotify client he built for himself, uses every day, and maintains, fixing bugs and closing others' PRs.
He finished setting up Obsidian so new notes file themselves into the day's folder and link into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes. The templates behind it were made by the AI, and he says it would have been impossible without it.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
