The AI decompiled his old VB3 game and recompiled it as a Linux AppImage. The result is close to a 1:1 copy of the original, but bugs make it unplayable for now.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI turned my 10 line radio script into a real utility I use
He had a rough script that launched internet radio stations on his Linux desktop. The AI made it safe and finished: it checks the saved player, searches the Radio Browser database, adds tests, a manual and a README, and pushed it to GitHub.
I handed the AI a game plan. It published the card game 23 hours later.
He wrote the plan and designed 150 cards with AI, then gave the pack to the AI and wrote no code himself. The AI planned, built and tested the roguelite card game LAST CROWN, and it was public about 23 hours later, free with no sign up. It has 161 cards and 38 duelists, and got 14 updates in the next three and a half days.
The AI rewrote his 2010 student game in a new language and ported it to Android
The AI with Opus 5 rewrote his 2010 student C game in Common Lisp with SDL2 and OpenGL renderers, running great on Linux and Windows, then ported it to Android as well.
The AI sorted my chats into projects and deleted the empty ones
He spent about a tenth of his AI 6.1 SOL use having it sort all his chat threads into a few main projects and clean out the empty ones. It used the Chrome browser and finished the job with no mistakes.
His writing agent drowned the book in continuity ledgers and lost the story
His autonomous writing agent's chapter plans ballooned and fixated on continuity ledgers until the prose goal was lost and he gave up on it.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Build me a chess dashboard with a snarky coach
In the same interview, Alex Cornell mentions the AI built him a chess dashboard that analyzes his games with a snarky coach persona (segment from 29:39). It sits alongside his golf tracking as one of the personal dashboards he actually lives with.
The AI helped run the search that split a set into 86 zero sum parts
A researcher studying rare zero sum congruences wanted to split a 629 number interval into as many disjoint zero sum subsets as possible. He used AI to help with the implementation and the computational search, including randomised searches for the larger subsets, and found a partition into 86 zero sum subsets covering the whole interval. Whether 86 is the maximum is still open.
The AI got WiFi working on his laptop's new system, at a cost of 6 million tokens
The AI got Omarchy WiFi working on his MacBook, at a cost of 6M tokens.
