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.
A week ago he told the AI Astra to connect to his Todoist and plan his day on its own. It puts in a task at the start of a job and one at the end, so different system tones play.
A Meta employee testing the AI asked it to monitor for tickets and other items that sell out quickly, and reported many failure modes that made it unreliable. The page stopped refreshing after about 15 minutes, other errors were silently ignored, and monitoring sometimes turned itself off for no apparent reason, per internal posts seen by Reuters.

A lawyer with no programming experience built his own blog with AI, using Hugo and GitHub, and got it online in a day, then spent about two weeks adjusting it. He also set up a flow that shares each new post to his Mastodon and Bluesky accounts on its own.
Discord has no API for polls, so he gave his agent Roby access to his Mac. Roby opened the form and posted the poll under his name, the way a person would.
Together with AI he ran fairly complex imports from more than 1,000 JSON files into WordPress. Publications and events now arrive as their own custom post type, neatly structured in WordPress, including sideloading the media files.
An addon he wrote takes notes while he plays World of Warcraft. Each morning an AI turns the notes into a story told by a weathered chronicler, and the AI turns the story into a narrated podcast episode with voices, music and sound effects, one narrator per character. He reads every post and listens before anything goes up.
Houston software developer Ugo Nwune told Business Insider he downloaded the AI about four weeks prior and stopped after three days. He had granted only Facebook, Threads, and Instagram access.

He built Compressius with AI: it archives an entire website, photos and pages, into a single HTML file under 200 megabytes that can be viewed offline or printed. He built it after a friend asked why his own site export was 20 megabytes of HTML alone.
