A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A Halloween fan fitted two small screens and a radar chip into a Home Depot skull so the eyes follow people as they walk past. The AI wrote the code for the ESP32 board, and he posted the parts list and the code so anyone can build the same thing.
The AI ran a Kepler and TESS search engine he hacked together and found an uncatalogued periodic dip every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a possible 2.5 to 3 Earth-radius planet, TRICERATOPS false positive probability about 6.9 percent (result report, not a product pitch).
She uses AI as a side panel inside Chrome and it clicks on her screen for her. She says it takes ten minutes off her week.
A Plex update broke the app on his Chromecast. Names and thumbnails overlapped and he could not move around in it. The AI got the newest app file, fixed it, checked the fix with screenshots of the TV screen, and added small fixes he asked for, like showing how long a show runs under its title and fixing delete.
He added a feature to his blog that uses GPT-6 Luna to look at each daily comic and add a note about what is in it. Doing all 270 comics cost about 20 cents in total.
He has done a couple of circuit boards using AI and Fable. Each one came back from manufacture working first time, which he says beats his own success rate doing boards by hand.
Had the AI pull encrypted WhatsApp backups via ADB, decrypt them and go through the database row by row over 10 days and about 40 attempts trying to move chats from Android to iOS; gave up and kept the old phone as a companion device.
Had a frontier LLM decode an old Director game and port it to run in a web browser in about 2 hours, reusing existing OSS libraries.
He asked the AI to move a long the AI conversation into a coding project. The AI picked a Safari extension he had written himself, recovered 1,651 messages and 97 artifacts, and checked the files.
Today he and the AI hacked a cheap Wish smartwatch he had abandoned for years. Now the watch talks to an AI model running locally, like a bargain basement Alexa.
