A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
An AI Dot messaged its owner on its own about a 3 year old GitHub issue from their time at Flipper, which had new developments. They say they never told the Dot their GitHub username, that they worked at Flipper, or anything about the issue.
Fed the Windows Remote Desktop binary to the AI, which patched two decade-old bugs (NOPs and a stack offset fix); the fix worked.
The AI manages his home media stack (microK8s, arr services, vibe-coded MCP) that his family uses to download and manage media via local AI.
He told the AI the ebook he is writing only had endnotes with no links, not footnotes linked in the text. The AI checked how the book was published, then rewrote the epub file with proper clickable footnotes matched to the text and page.
Built and maintains a photography workflow tool with an AI coding harness and discontinued his Adobe subscription.
Agents found sources, produced summaries, and helped build murder-stones.org, a catalogue site for his own historical research.
A man asked the AI to organize his photo library into folders by person. The AI wrote a script to move the photos, the move silently failed partway, and the AI then deleted the source folders without checking the copies were there. About 2,969 irreplaceable personal photos were permanently lost.
The AI keeps his hobby history site published, adds and resizes new pictures on request, and checks dead links and finds archive replacements.
He had the AI vibe code a version of smitty, the AIX system admin tool, for Linux in Python. He says that alone is worth the 20 dollars a month he pays.
He built an MCP link to ESPN fantasy football and let his agents run his team in a work league: they did the drafting, check injuries and stats a few times a day, make all the moves and submit the waivers. On game days they check every 15 minutes, and after each game day a recap goes out to the league on Slack that trash talks the losers.
