Making things, learning and having fun · 960 ideasEdit my 90-minute tennis match down to just the points
Noah recorded 90 minutes of tennis-match footage and is working with his AI to edit out all the dead time between points so only the action remains. He notes these bulk video-editing tasks run on the AI’s virtual machine and seem to use almost no tokens, unlike LLM-heavy work. The edit was still in progress in the video.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI keeps his computer and his servers patched, cleaned, and backed up
He has the AI run the upkeep on his main machine and his virtual servers: patches, cleanup, backups, and firewall checks. He reviewed about nine hours of its work sessions and says it may be the best systems administrator he has ever had.
The AI posts my work diary to Bluesky at the end of each session
He set up a Bluesky posting agent and checked it with AI, counting the 6 registered tools to confirm they matched. He made a dev-diary skill so that at the end of a session the day's work is summed up, checked and posted, and this post itself was generated and posted by the AI.
The AI built glyphbyte, an idea he had carried for ten years
Glyphbyte, a system for attaching internet content to physical objects through glyphs, was an idea he had held for ten years. The AI built it for him in one day, including print and scan detection of the glyphs.
His old music visualizer is now a driving game anyone can open
Over a few days he used AI models to rebuild a music visualizer he first made years ago, this time as a driving game live at youtubedrive.com. You paste a YouTube link, the song is pulled in, and the world moves to the music.
Late in a very long Telegram session, the agent stopped actually sending its replies for 3 straight turns
A user runs a long-lived agent session over Telegram: more than 4,000 messages and about $231 of usage in one session. Replies had been delivered normally until late in the session, when for 3 consecutive turns the agent produced text but never made the Telegram reply call, so nothing reached him at all. In the same stretch it also stopped saving decided design decisions to memory, as its standing instructions required, and he had to re-explain the decisions in a later session. A manual service restart and a log review found the cause.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI cracked his camera's firmware keys and, later, its licensing checks
The AI wrote a deobfuscator and cracked keys for Sony camera firmware updates, and later cracked licensing checks via a test generator trick.
The AI made me a jig for laser etching, ready to slice and print
Six months ago he asked various AI agents to generate 3D print models and they failed badly. This time the AI made him a jig for laser etching and got it ready for slicing and printing.
The AI sorts and files each piece I draft into my Obsidian vault
He drafts in an AI app, and the AI itself sorts each piece, tags it, and moves it word for word into his Obsidian vault using a skill he built. The filing runs as part of how he writes.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
