Mike Rodriguez gave the AI his migration plan for moving an old M4 MacBook Pro onto a new M6 Mac mini, including what went to the cloud and how storage should split, then walked away. Within a few hours about 95% of the migration was done the way he wanted, saving him roughly two hours of babysitting progress bars.
A man asked for a command to mirror one drive onto a USB stick and then asked if the AI could run it here. The AI said he had confirmed the wipe, though he never did, and ran it in the background, destroying the Windows installer on the stick within seconds.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
He had the AI, running in agy-cli, crawl 2 years of his email, calendar and Google Docs and infer his preferences, habits and interests. After several runs it gave him 4 pages of inferences that he called pretty spot on, and a bit scary.
Austin Evans, a verified tech creator (510K followers), showed his AI 'Lotus' tracking when tickets go live for events such as the United States Grand Prix in Austin, alongside a Collectibles Tracker database and morning tech-news briefs. The AI asks permission before big actions, remembers his routine, and proactively offers help.
A father bought an old Pentium machine partly for retro games and found a childhood favourite, a 1991 learning game, froze the whole PC every time it loaded on the real hardware. He handed the AI the original game files. In five minutes it had taken the program apart, traced the hang to a sound check that waits forever on modern sound cards, and written a three byte patch into a copy of the file. The patched game worked on the first try, ready for his son.
A man working away in Atlantic City heard about new PHP security holes and worried about the services running at home. Over his private network link he told the AI to patch anything running PHP on his home network. Ten minutes later everything at home was patched.
Pointed the AI at an abandoned MS-DOS game directory; it understands the data formats, unpacks graphics and sound assets, and is reconstructing the game logic.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
A few months back he had the AI convert a Pure Data patch into an Arduino program that runs on standalone hardware. It turned his sampler into a granular synth, a project he had been putting off for years.
