A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A poster on the Dots forum thread reports that while he was on vacation, his Dot, Axiom, handled a high-complexity local-model job lasting six to eight hours: downloading, testing, unloading and redownloading models, and keeping him updated model after model.
The AI was given control of a 486 PC via Raspberry Pi, PS/2 and VGA capture to update binaries, test them and gather logs for DOS porting, replacing manual CF card swapping.
A game maker gave the AI the 2019 forum thread about his browser shooter and the game's code, and they worked through feedback he had never acted on. The game now restores full health each round, shows a scoreboard on the game over screen, spawns enemies at a safe distance, and fixes an aiming bug. The biggest change is one shared enemy population on a server, so every round anyone plays moves the evolution forward.
A voice agent called 12 venues for his event of about 50 people and asked each one the same three questions. The AI then formatted the answers into a comparison table, which saved him an afternoon of phone calls.
The AI generated 95 percent of an LED star PCB, including the parametric generator, routing and panel layout; the fabricated board works.
A user in the AI Facebook group posted on Oct 18 that the AI could not save files directly to his computer the way the AI could, so rather than buy a subscription he built his own bridge in about six hours. The AI can now write straight to his local files, compatible with his existing agent stacks, and he published the tool open-source on GitHub.
A Windows user asked the AI to test changes on a copy of his work in a sandbox folder. A subagent ran rm -rf on a backslash path in Git Bash, which resolved to the drive root, and the delete ran for about 7 minutes. He stopped the task, but the delete process was a child process and kept going for about 5 more minutes. He got his files back from a Windows shadow copy.
Quitalashawn told the AI to scan her inbox for unanswered brand-collaboration emails, found 277, drafted and sent the replies, then continued negotiating back and forth with brands on her behalf.
Made Astra reverse-engineer Onshape's UI to build a middle-man extension exposing an API that bypasses the official API pricing, now used for AI CAD with AI and the AI.
Gave AI full control to build a desktop environment he uses daily, with features appearing during the workday and lower RAM and VRAM use than standard desktops.
He used AI or the AI with Chrome to control his browser and fill out an annoying form. It filled the form in from answers he had put together in a Word doc, and it made no mistakes.
Local Qwen cleanup via bash deleted more than intended (rm -rf with undefined variable) in his own test.
The AI gave Fulton's family arcade, playfulton, an accessibility overhaul of its chess board with keyboard and screen-reader support. The work was tested locally, pushed and deployed to the live site.
He lost most of his vision this year to a rare genetic condition. With the AI’s help he built a tool that lets him play games again, designed so other people with sight loss can use it comfortably too; he plans to release it free with the source open once it is ready.
Creator asked the AI for a whole-food crockpot meal plan focused on protein and high fiber. It generated a one-trip grocery list organized by category, a 7-day plan (Chicken Taco Chili, Turkey White Bean Kale Soup, Beef Lentil Stew, Salsa Verde Chicken Quinoa Bowls), and compiled it into a printable PDF for the fridge.
GPT helped him fix his Bitcoin miner. He also created his own improved, branded user interface and firmware for it.
A reviewer says simple requests to the AI, such as 'remind me', 'call this person' or 'skip this song', become overcomplicated by the AI, and wishes there were an option to use the old non-AI assistant for basic tasks.
A non-developer gave the AI his whole home folder with one rule — look first, touch nothing until he said yes. It inventoried 9,412 files, found the chaos concentrated in 312 files across his desktop, Documents and a forgotten 'Misc' folder, and sorted them into six folders named the way he talks (Letters, Money, House, Photos, Travel, Not Sure), renaming files so they can be read without opening them and deleting duplicates only with permission; finding one photo went from 23 minutes to 4 seconds.
He asked the AI to make a modern version of Rescue Raiders, an old game he loved as a kid, with new graphics, goals and tech trees. The AI went back and forth with critic and art agents until it was done, and the finished game is live for anyone to play.
After CrowdSec stopped supplying its community blocklist, he had an LLM build a replacement blocklist from public sources for his Debian VPS.
Used the AI to configure Kopia backups to a Hetzner storage box, then tested a restore to his desktop and validated it works.
Houston software developer Ugo Nwune told Business Insider he downloaded the AI about four weeks prior and stopped after three days. He had granted only Facebook, Threads, and Instagram access.
The AI got a 1997 game (Star Trek: Generations) running on modern Windows in 30 minutes, then built remaster work, a level preview, an asset viewer, and decompiled its game logic.
The AI reverse engineered the Bowers and Wilkins app so he can queue music over WiFi from his laptop instead of his phone, done in a couple of hours.
A researcher updating his own old question says he now asks his agent to download the papers his reference manager could not get. The agent works in the browser while he is signed in with his school login, and he clicks through the human checks himself.
His 3D Systems Sense 2 scanner had no working software left, since the maker and the other scanner apps had all dropped support. The AI updated the program he uses so modern RTX graphics cards work and found a data limit that capped his sensor at half its native resolution, and he later posted that it works.
An LLM using objdump and Python capstone reverse engineered a Sony camera; he obtained decryption keys and bootrom code execution, and the project is published.
Since the end of August he has added three new CI servers to his own setup. The AI wrote each NixOS setup and he checked the work, so now he can rebuild any of the servers from scratch in minutes.
Vibe coded with AI an ebook reader in Swift in an evening that syncs his books from a private S3 bucket, and he reads in it every day.
