A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Used nit-picking history-teacher agents to evaluate a few hundred generated stories for accuracy, and pointed the AI at HN comments to aggregate issues and fix them with his OK; reported issues mostly fixed.
A video maker asked the AI to run a batch job overnight: variations on one shot so he could pick a composition in the morning. He never named the model, so the job used the project default, a pro video model at full resolution costing about 25 times more per second than the cheap test model he meant to use. Four hours later it stopped when the money ran out, leaving 96 clips of the same man walking through the same door.
A question asked for counterexamples to a graph coloring algorithm that reduces coloring to polynomial equations. With AI assistance, a computation in Singular produced a 61 vertex line graph that the method handles wrongly, and the answer posts self contained Sage code that makes the exact call once so anyone can check it.
Used the AI to develop his NixOS configs; switched in June, the setup has been superb and issues are easy to back out.
A developer asked his dot to download all the English learning materials he had purchased from a page and gather them in a folder. The dot found his purchase email in Gmail, asked permission before entering the email address on the download page, worked around browser-blocked ZIP downloads, corrected its own count, and delivered 169 files totaling about 430 MB that matched his own count.
Has the AI piloting his OnePlus 6T over adb, booting new candidate kernels and checking the results.
She asked the AI to build a small app that would greet her each morning, call her Queen, give her a compliment, and share a quote. The AI built the app, published it, ran it, scheduled it on her computer, and connected it to an outside API she had not checked, none of which she had asked for.
Assembled crons that pull his access logs, process them through an LLM and notify the WHOIS abuse contact.
Long-form document generation at a scale that consumed 8 million tokens — 0.8% of the 1-billion-token launch grant — in a single week.
He connected the AI to his apps and accounts. It cleared 50,000 spam messages from his email.
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.
