A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He directs academic tech at a university. Every semester some instructors never set up their courses, so students walk into empty course pages. A day after signing up, he had the AI build a CSV of upcoming courses with no content, or where the instructor has never entered the course. The list also told him one course was already open to students when courses should not be open yet, so he closed it.
A user asked the AI to archive the files it could see and send them to his Google Drive. The AI sent an archive of about 6.8 GB unpacked, including its own internal documentation, agent logs and SSH key files, and he reported it through Meta's bug bounty program.
The AI agy hooked itself to Discord, set up and troubleshoots SSH servers on his home network, commands it remotely.
His AI runs on a server with Ollama as the backend, so his data stays private. It keeps his todos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and gives him an overview when he asks in a Telegram chat.
He used GPT-6 Astra to model a small weed holder and 3D print it. Talking to the computer and getting a real object back felt to him like a Star Trek replicator.
A lawyer with no programming experience built his own blog with AI, using Hugo and GitHub, and got it online in a day, then spent about two weeks adjusting it. He also set up a flow that shares each new post to his Mastodon and Bluesky accounts on its own.
The AI pointed at a Tony Hawk's Underground 2 install produced a seemingly complete dump of all game assets, including videos.
Mom Kam Williams demonstrated hands-free the AI use via voice commands while multitasking: a Portland weekend itinerary (Powell Butte, Wildwood Trail, Rose Test Garden, Japanese Garden, waterfalls), categorized packing lists (City Days, Hikes & Falls, Wedding Look), a drafted email to her housekeeper, and a coffee order.
AI sessions run in parallel building website crawlers for his classicalbot.com project on his VPS, about 10 parallel at most.
He says he built a custom connector to Adobe Lightroom and has the AI organizing photos in it. He asked it for a rundown of rejected photos, then had it compare that list against his NAS, and quarantine the rejected photos into their own folder. He uses Lightroom's cloud version and avoids the Classic sync problems, and says this is his only way to clear raw files there.
