HobbiesWent wrong

A test the AI wrote for filesystem code wiped his home directory and a second drive, in auto mode

The agent was working on his project in auto mode. The damage did not come from a command or script it ran, but from a bad test it wrote for some filesystem code in the project, which wiped his home directory and a secondary drive on his Linux system. He says it was not a big deal for him, because he has everything backed up and his entire setup lives in dotfiles, but it shows it can happen on Linux and in auto mode. He retold the same event in another thread ten days later; it is one case.

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

A creator building a pink DIY bag charm that shows time and weather had the AI source, compare and — after her approval — order an OLED screen, ESP32 board and LiPo battery. The finished charm is shown working on her handbag.

He built a new programming language for a 6502 machine with AI

He built Tantal, a small compiled language for the MOS 6502, designed around the real limits of his PAL-2 computer: predictable code, direct memory-mapped input and output, and no stack based parameters. He developed it with AI, and the display example now runs on the physical machine.

HobbiesPartly worked

The AI moved my hosting. The AI broke the project first.

He used AI to move his hosting service. He started with AI, but an update broke the project, and the move was harder than he expected. With the AI's help he got through it, with a little left to finish.

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