A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He had the AI configure his smart TV through its debug connection to use a filtered DNS service. Ads on the TV stopped, which he jokes is either a great morning or the start of a robot uprising.
The AI interfaced with FPGA boards over USB, set up UART, created an on-chip logic analyzer, and troubleshot a synthesis problem to a workaround.
He does not write code himself. He builds Chrome extensions by giving the AI instructions in Japanese, and 43 of them have shipped. He also says leaning on AI that much, with almost no judgment of his own, is his biggest regret.
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.
Building an NBA stats warehouse without writing any of the code; the agent wrote it.
Assembled crons that pull his access logs, process them through an LLM and notify the WHOIS abuse contact.
Shawna, a busy mom of three (13K), asked her agent 'Miss the AI' for easy dinner ideas for the week. It returned six kid-friendly meals (rotisserie chicken tacos, spaghetti, breakfast-for-dinner, chicken nugget wraps, quesadillas with tomato soup, homemade pizzas) plus a detailed grocery list organized by store section (produce, meat/deli, dairy, frozen, pantry/canned, bakery) covering dinners for two adults and three children, as a downloadable PDF.
A man learning language design spent 3 to 4 weeks with AI doing a full mechanization in Lean of the paper From Linearity to Borrowing. The work covers nearly every definition and lemma in the paper, including the Fundamental Property and Adequacy results.
He had the AI reverse engineer a PlayStation 2 game he had the bytes for. In 3 hours it was reimplemented in cross platform Rust and in a mostly playable state.
A man asked the AI to schedule daily backups of his agent folder with a careful keeping rule: three weeks of daily copies, four Saturday copies, and the first copy of each month. The AI also copies them to a storage server in a different building and runs a health check that alerts him only when something is failing.
