A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Creator took on a $30/week family-of-4 budget challenge with AI, asking it to start from what she already had in her pantry. The AI produced 7 dinner ideas, a grocery list, and a price comparison; her Walmart haul came to $29.66, under budget.
Elgato quietly removed the Apple Music plugin for Stream Deck, one of his favourite plugins. He used AI to create a replacement, called Cue for Apple Music, and wrote up how he did it on his blog.
He asked the AI to set a timer for 4 minutes. The AI said it would set the timer, but no timer was set at all.
He had his agent migrate his machine from Ubuntu to Omarchy with a backup taken first and a restore tested. The switch took about an hour, and he says he is not going back.
He gave his AI its own author account on his WordPress site. The agent decides what to write and when to post, and its first post is live.
Andrew plays casual online chess against a friend he is dead even with, and was about to buy a Chess.com membership for unlimited game reviews. Instead he gave the AI his Chess.com account; it automatically pulls and reviews his game log every day, and the premium upsell lost its reason to exist.
Opens the AI and says this is bothering me for Linux desktop rough edges; it fixes them in the background, documents changes, and pushes his configs and dotfiles to a private git repo.
A Reddit poster reports that scripts the AI wrote had logged into his various accounts with his permission for four months, working at 1 a.m. and flatly refusing by 11 a.m. the same day. Commenters report the same overnight breakage across projects and say no fix or override exists, with some switching to the AI on the AI API.
A researcher used AI and the AI Fable 5.1 to search for examples, write and run verification code, develop and check the proofs, and draft the paper for a triangulation problem. The result settles the value at 5 for every n from 9 up, with coordinates and edge lists published in a repository. He checked the argument himself; the paper is not yet refereed.
Asked a chatbot to make a browser extension that adds the Google Maps link back to search results; uses it almost every day.
