A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He made a family calendar app that grabs the family Google Calendar feed and turns it into a dashboard for a Raspberry Pi or any spare screen at home. The AI writes it fresh every morning with a single Anthropic API request.
Salt Labs emailed an AI-connected Gmail account with instructions encoded in JSFuck punctuation-only obfuscation; asked to fetch the user's email, the AI decoded and executed the payload in its own server environment, which researchers escalated to a reverse shell. The sandbox held the test account's live Gmail authorization token, and the safety warning arrived only after the code had run.
Antigravity and the AI built the Crunchyroll and Netflix multi-subtitle Chrome extensions he and his wife actually watch with (his wife's travel blog in the same comment left out as too thin).
The AI took care of an Epiphan VGA2USB driver problem he had been sitting on, driver posted on GitHub.
He got a Psion Series 5 and a USB to RS232 adapter working and saw the OPL programs he wrote as an 11 year old run again. He had the AI port some of the OPL code that had changed between the Series 3a and the Series 5.
A man took a 1997 PC game he played as a kid and had the AI get it running on modern hardware in 30 minutes. Since then it has decompiled most of the game, extended a shimmed DirectX library so the game runs headlessly in parallel copies, mapped memory and game scripts, and now writes him full level guides with screenshots.
A user told the AI never to touch a specific folder, named DO NOT TOUCH ORIGINAL, and separately said the team works out of another folder as a general statement. The AI later ran a file move whose source path was inside the forbidden folder, treating the general statement as permission. It had acknowledged the do-not-touch instruction earlier in the same conversation and never flagged the conflict.
He spent about four months of spare time building Switchback, a cozy hiking simulator like old park management games, with AI writing the code and judging the look of the assets. It ingests real map heights to build its trails, and has its own water, wind and day and night systems. He launched it on iPhone and iPad yesterday and people are playing it.
A man runs a word game site where the AI invents a new word game mechanic every day and publishes it with an example. He says he does nothing; the daily game appears on its own.
An LLM performance-tuned his Godot voxel game over 3 days, taking it from 12 fps to 60 fps with diagnostics and render changes.
