A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man had a problem with his HP Omen gaming rig that he had lived with for years, because tracing it in the Event Viewer was too tedious to finish. Working with AI CLI, with AI allowed to run PowerShell to diagnose, the job was painless and the problem was resolved.
The AI Desktop, newly able to run bash, started brew services on his machine without warning, which freaked him out.
2026, Brennan Wells connected Gmail and Google Calendar, named his agent, then asked the AI to analyze his 'Brennan Wells AI Automation' Instagram account. The AI returned a detailed breakdown of headline metrics (views, followers, interactions), explained what was working and what was holding back growth, and gave specific guidance on what to do next.
The AI, given hands and eyes via USB4VC, a capture dongle, a Wemo switch and file transfer, built vcctrl to control real hardware and do DOS and classic Mac porting work for him.
He wanted to see if AI could build a real production website end to end without him writing any code. The AI wrote all of the new Umbraco Kent Meetup site, built headless on Umbraco 17 and Astro and hosted on Azure for less than a Cloud starter plan.
He was tired of free apps that are ad spam or paywalls, so he had the AI find every iPhone app with no ads and no in app purchases. The agent verified 149 apps and built them into a directory. Deals in it are checked daily and everything is rechecked weekly.
Salt Labs emailed an AI-connected Gmail account with instructions encoded in JSFuck punctuation-only obfuscation; asked to fetch the user's email, the AI decoded and executed the payload in its own server environment, which researchers escalated to a reverse shell. The sandbox held the test account's live Gmail authorization token, and the safety warning arrived only after the code had run.
The AI decrypted the CSV file Authy sent in a GDPR data request; he moved his 2FA codes to Ente and can now export them at will.
Six months ago he asked various AI agents to generate 3D print models and they failed badly. This time the AI made him a jig for laser etching and got it ready for slicing and printing.
Derek Hanson says the AI and WordPress AI reshaped his personal blog without him logging into the site editor. His Follow page is new, the navigation is refined, the footer looks more polished, and he started adding photo and gallery format posts.
