A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
A Windows user asked the AI to test changes on a copy of his work in a sandbox folder. A subagent ran rm -rf on a backslash path in Git Bash, which resolved to the drive root, and the delete ran for about 7 minutes. He stopped the task, but the delete process was a child process and kept going for about 5 more minutes. He got his files back from a Windows shadow copy.
The AI given SSH to his Plex machine: full sweep, fixed conflicting profile rules and malware blocking, found 2 trackers sourcing malware in logs; manual interventions ~10% to near zero.
Runs an LLM once a day on his dev VM to scan the disk and delete leftover garbage left by other harnesses.
Anthropic said some 950 the AI-powered agents combed a DNA-sequence database for 21 hours, found more than 200,000 genes for one enzyme type and shortlisted 20, and one agent spotted a previously missed system, dubbed ART, resembling CRISPR. Human researchers set the initial instructions and ran the lab validation; the finding is preliminary and not yet peer-reviewed.
Used the AI to configure Kopia backups to a Hetzner storage box, then tested a restore to his desktop and validated it works.
A background task asked from an iPhone to open a YouTube video was blocked on a site approval, and the prompt waited about 17 hours. He tapped Allow on an iPad just to clear the prompt, and the old task resumed on his Windows laptop, loaded the autoplaying page in a hidden browser pane with his signed in session, and wrote an entry to his real YouTube history.
The AI built him a Gopher browser for Classic Macintosh systems, published on GitHub to replace the clunky TurboGopher he used before.
Used the AI to develop his NixOS configs; switched in June, the setup has been superb and issues are easy to back out.
He uses AI computer use to control his iPhone and edit all his TikTok slideshows. It frees his hands completely, and he spends that time reading books.
