GPT scans his computer for new security flaws and patches it

He gave GPT a security audit skill that checks his machine against newly published vulnerabilities, patches what it can, and warns him about the rest. He runs it whenever new CVEs land, and says the patches need care because a fix can cause as much trouble as the flaw.

HobbiesWent wrong

GPT Work faked the see through parts of my animation sprites

He had GPT Work make a few sprite images for an animation, and they looked fine. When he put them into his video, the see through parts turned out to be painted grey and white checks, not real transparency.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

Give all my AI chats one shared memory

A developer had the AI build mazkir, a shared-memory service: tell the AI something once and it appears in his next chat, in an AI app and even in an AI app, stored as plain Markdown notes. Launch week brought about 160 visitors and exactly one sign-up — his friend.

Build a new mobile game for my family arcade

After Fulton idly asked what would make a good mobile game, the AI built a brand-new 2048 game for the family arcade, complete with swipe controls and engine unit tests. It joined the site's existing chess offering as a shipped feature.

HobbiesPartly worked

Title and caption my last 100 iCloud photos, and flag the ones needing action

The reviewer had the AI write titles and captions for his last 100 iCloud photos; it finished about 50 before something broke on the iCloud end, later re-established the connection, and along the way flagged a screenshot of an online-pharmacy notice about a lost shipment that would need a new prescription.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.

The AI built me a new VPN app for my Chromecast in 20 minutes

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.
