A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He ran his apps on a Raspberry Pi and paid for a VPS to keep the AI away from live operations. The AI worked out the spec for a PC that could run two virtual machines, researched eBay and found a good deal, and he followed its instructions, mostly by pasting commands on his phone, to set up both machines and move everything over.
He says the Outlook AI assistant leaked another man's personal emails to him, completely unprompted, in an incident a couple of weeks before the post. He calls tools like this leaky and untrustworthy.
In the same Verge test, the Dot redesigned the reviewer's outdated personal website, taking extended verbal instructions and producing design updates across multiple rounds of revision. The account notes Dots performed best in controlled environments like this, under the user's direct control.
The AI wrote a deobfuscator and cracked keys for Sony camera firmware updates, and later cracked licensing checks via a test generator trick.
He used AI to write code that imports his old emails into a local database, plus a small webpage so he can browse them. The job took an afternoon instead of a couple of days.
Together with AI he ran fairly complex imports from more than 1,000 JSON files into WordPress. Publications and events now arrive as their own custom post type, neatly structured in WordPress, including sideloading the media files.
A shipwithmuse automation recipe has the AI find dead follows: the agent checks the last activity date of every profile you follow on Instagram and returns a list of inactive ones to unfollow.
The AI configured his arr stack plus NFS mounts, share templates and a VPN init-container in Kubernetes; the cluster is now easy to manage and debug.
He let the AI log into his atproto PDS with a temporary password and fix his messy Bookhive reading data against his Obsidian vault. Ten minutes later, everything was in sync.
The AI generated 95 percent of an LED star PCB, including the parametric generator, routing and panel layout; the fabricated board works.
He teaches chemistry and built a website with AI where his students form crews, make an avatar and a spaceship, and travel between planets that stand for class units, entering learning academies to fight boss battles or other crews. He funds it himself, uses AI for some of the interactive lessons and Canva for graphics, and posted asking how to work more efficiently and use fewer tokens.
An LLM configured his Rocky server in about 5 minutes; the server is still running with no effort from him after 6 months.
Using the AI with Blender, he had a Turkish lamp modeled from his description, then brought the model into Clip Studio. The red lamp on the left was finished from instructions he sent remotely while riding an exercise bike.
The AI in Antigravity built an Enigma decryption program, fetched repos, ran an 82M combination scan and decrypted the message in about 45 minutes.
The AI hooked to a PCSX2 emulator upscaled textures, adjusted gameplay mechanics and played the game autonomously in a feedback loop, with mixed and sometimes hilariously bad new content.
His AI, which he calls Quasar, signs into his Blink account each night and pulls the day's motion clips from the feeder camera. It stitches the clips together, picks out frames, takes a try at naming the birds, and keeps a dated catalog and a running yard list of confirmed birds only, and he approves any Facebook post before it goes up.
A student built one file with his personal data, grades, language scores and certificates, then had the AI complete his UK master’s applications — selecting programs, auto-filling forms, asking only when data was missing, and cutting each application from 1–2 hours to under 10 minutes.
A man who uses three browsers daily always missed plugins in Safari. He told the AI it could get the source code of one of his favourite Chrome plugins from his Chrome install, then port it and install it in Safari. After 20 minutes and a few dollars of his plan, he had Session Buddy working in Safari.
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.
Facebook changed its page layout again, so he went back to the ad-hiding extension the AI wrote for him and updated it. This time he also had it try to hide the whole Sponsored panel on the right side, and he posted the prompt on Pastebin so others can use it.
As a test he had an AI harness package GNU Bison for Slackware. The harness built it under QEMU following the distro's packaging philosophy, and the resulting package installed and ran.
His Chromecast would not connect to his home VPN, which uses IKEv2, while he stayed at an Airbnb, and the VPN apps he tried would not work on it. He gave the AI his certificates and the AI wrote a new VPN app for the Chromecast in about 20 minutes. He says it works perfectly.
A fan of FF6 and Chrono Trigger spent four days going back and forth with AI to build Crimson Oath, a free SNES-style JRPG that runs in the browser with two chapters, four party members, ATB battles and 31 music tracks in six languages. Every sprite and song lives in code — the game loads no image or audio files.
The AI ported about 7 classic 68k Mac games, writing its own 68k disassembly tools.
His Ubiquiti access points are full of firmware bugs. Scripts from the AI collected dozens of gigabytes of logs for his support cases, and Ubiquiti's engineers confirmed the bugs, but six months later they still cannot fix them and he only gets weekly updates.
Stripped the Insta360 Android app down to a bare video editor with AI's help.
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.
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.
The AI built a Mumble replacement in Rust from a rough spec in 2 hours; it worked flawlessly on Mac and Windows, he uses it on his LAN, and the AI built a network simulator to fix a latency issue it spotted in logs.
He found a problem on his website with the embedded Cal.com widget he uses for people contacting him. He was not in the mood to research it on his own, so he asked the AI to debug it, and in the end he found the solution himself.
