A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Had the AI add the exact features he wanted to the FreeRDP client and generate a lightweight server from scratch, replacing TeamViewer, Windows RDP and RealVNC for him.
He wanted his AI character AYN to move and talk like a VTuber. The AI drew the art, Tripo made the 3D shapes, and the AI drove Blender by script to build, fix and export the model, while he only looked at the renders and said what looked wrong. The finished model has 16 expressions and lip sync that follows the expression.
For football season a man pointed the AI at his utility server and had it set up Dispatcharr, a TV guide system. Finding his 50 channels among 80,000, with guide data that does not always work, is the hard part of this setup. The AI got it configured, wrote scripts to parse channel guides from sources the built in guide misses, scheduled them to update daily, and deployed the whole thing.
Had a frontier LLM decode an old Director game and port it to run in a web browser in about 2 hours, reusing existing OSS libraries.
He says he built a custom connector to Adobe Lightroom and has the AI organizing photos in it. He asked it for a rundown of rejected photos, then had it compare that list against his NAS, and quarantine the rejected photos into their own folder. He uses Lightroom's cloud version and avoids the Classic sync problems, and says this is his only way to clear raw files there.
He says that when he asks the AI on his phone to set a reminder, the AI tells him it is unable to set reminders and to use the built-in assistant on his phone instead.
A puzzle solver designed tests for whether a circulated image hid steganographic data, and used AI to help write the scripts and qualify signal and noise across JPG compression formats. He ran the tests with standard tools on every copy of the image he could find, and nothing extracted from any of them, which settled that the image itself carries no hidden payload.
The AI organised a Google Drive holding 110,000 files in 9,700 folders and sent 2,409 junk files to trash.
The AI reverse-engineered his laser cutter's G-code dialect and camera controls in 1 to 2 hours; now it places and cuts jobs with power and speed settings and diagnoses problems from scans.
A maker had the AI design a circuit that shows a picture stored in a memory chip on a standard VGA screen, using common logic chips, and write the chip code for it. He routed the board himself, had it made for $6, fixed the one missed error with a wire, and the board works.
