Unite.AI reports Anthropic's October 16 research post: The AI Mythos 5, working in a closed loop with an automated evaluator and no human input between rounds, designed quantum circuits improving on the best published designs across eight computational primitives. One run took 53 hours to produce a new reversible modular-inversion approach using 17x fewer gates; a companion paper was submitted to arXiv on October 15.
Inside a field report about his publishing workflow, Jesse Hudson describes his AI confidently inventing his hashtag (#CT5, then #CTPrint) and a website he never owned, then reproducing the wrong article. Only after he made it search did it find his real site, CTEFight.com, and the correct hashtag.
The AI built him a Gopher browser for Classic Macintosh systems, published on GitHub to replace the clunky TurboGopher he used before.
Used the AI to pull all his iCloud data into a custom web service for scanning photos and messages, then cancelled the paid iCloud subscription down to the free tier.
He built a Command and Conquer style real time strategy game called Battle Drones, mainly using AI. The game runs in the browser and includes device to device multiplayer over an audio link.
A man says the AI finished a hardware project he had started, working across three areas at once. The AI finished the firmware in Rust, changed some board parts and finalised the board design, sourced the parts that do not come with the board, and wrote all the documentation for the installer, and he judges the result good enough.
A developer cleared his AI session. Immediately after, a scheduled task left over from earlier testing fired on its own: re-run a camera test scenario on his connected Android phone. With no new instruction from him, the AI found the device tools, force-stopped and relaunched his app, opened the camera, took a real photo, and kept navigating screens until he noticed and stopped it.
Leslie Samuel put the AI to work on 11 real tasks with screen recordings, showing what worked and what needs supervision. One was generating his own personal AI podcast.
Has the AI-built dashboards for 5 radios, streaming decoded data into SQLite and visualizing weather, ADS-B traffic and radio status.
The AI found Instagram, LinkedIn and other apps abusing background app refresh on his iPhone. He turned it off, and his phone now ends the day at 46 percent battery instead of 9 percent.
