A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man generates all his passwords with his own little tool, which hashes the site name, username and a version number with his passphrase. He had the AI port the tool to iOS, and the setup recently saved him when his laptop died: he could rebuild every important password from memory with a fresh copy of the config.
Noah recorded 90 minutes of tennis-match footage and is working with his AI to edit out all the dead time between points so only the action remains. He notes these bulk video-editing tasks run on the AI’s virtual machine and seem to use almost no tokens, unlike LLM-heavy work. The edit was still in progress in the video.
Fable managing many Opus agents built a playable 3D RTS like StarCraft 2 with 3 races, 40+ units and 40+ buildings in 3 days.
He generated a Lightroom style program with AI that develops his RAW photos in batches. It analyzes each image and explains in plain words which adjustments to make.
He used AI to write assembly and create a Franchise Mode from scratch for the Ken Griffey SNES baseball game. The mod also adds 2026, 1994, and original teams and rosters, which meant doubling the size of the ROM.
On a free year of the AI he has built and scheduled a stack of personal skills: a calendar manager, an expense tracker fed only by emailed invoices with his full history backfilled, a monthly utility cost comparer, and shopping re-up tracking that watches how fast he uses things like coffee beans and toilet paper and schedules the next buy. A weekly skills manager rates all the others and suggests improvements.
Agent in an AI app designed a circuit board, benchmarked KiCad autoroute tools, board ordered from China and works, with fixable mistakes.
Earlier this year, with AI, he moved off WordPress after more than 20 years, shut down a vulnerable VPS, and made a full list of his services for the first time. Last night he had the AI check that list again.
The AI with FreeCAD and MCP designed three useful parts, a printed OLED and ESP32 case, a milled hotend mount and a pen mount, all of which worked on the first hardware revision.
An old printer orphaned by macOS 27 got a second life: The AI wrote the driver while using its owner as the diagnostic instrument - asking him to judge whether each line was progressively less visible, whether page one's DPI was lower - until the printer printed correctly again.
