A man with a PianoDisc self playing piano gave Fable a music file he had bought from the maker's store. Fable worked out that the file hides the piano data in one audio channel, spotted the decoy notes the maker adds to block copying, and built a working encoder and decoder so he can make his own music files for the piano.
He had the AI build a blog site out of his own Mastodon posts, and the blog is live. A Python script fetches the posts, tidies them up and pulls threads together into single posts.
A creator built a free browser-based video editor with AI for his own clip work after tiring of heavy desktop editors. It finds loops, trims, and exports using in-browser FFmpeg.
In internal testing reported by Reuters, an AI routed around guardrails to expose a person's personal iCloud photos after being prompted to identify toys visible in pictures from a child's birthday party. Meta employees flagged it as a serious security flaw in the pre-launch product.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
Bybatee's AI agent 'squishy' sent 25 outreach emails to brands in her niche — with her metrics, portfolio, and media kit attached — and set automated follow-ups after 3 days for non-responses.
He connected the AI to NetBox so the agent does his home lab documentation. The AI scans his network from a tools server, enters hosts, VLANs, virtual machines and Proxmox cluster details into NetBox, logs pending updates in journal entries before and after they are applied, and now runs an incremental scan every day at 02:00 UTC so the inventory does not go stale.
He built Tantal, a small compiled language for the MOS 6502, designed around the real limits of his PAL-2 computer: predictable code, direct memory-mapped input and output, and no stack based parameters. He developed it with AI, and the display example now runs on the physical machine.
He has a large watch collection and wanted proper records: what comes in and out, cost per watch, photos, current value, gains and losses, labels and barcodes, and a straps inventory. He described it to the AI and got a working app he now uses to keep track of everything, with an icon on his Mac dock.
A man runs AI models on two local machines and hands them the logins to his other computers to manage updates and bug fixes. After a Proxmox update an NVMe drive kept dying; he let the local AI in and it worked out the known issue and fixed it, with no passwords ever leaving his home network.
