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.
Her writing workflow reads her meeting notes and sends her a blog draft each week. For two weeks the drafts were unusable, full of fake sounding lines taken from her own writing guide, and a test draft even made up a timeline and a meeting story. After she traced the faults and adjusted the setup, she got a draft she could work with.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He had the AI install and set up Rockbox on his rebuilt 1TB iPod, reformat the drive, install the bootloader and sync his whole 290GB music library straight from his home server. The first sync took the best part of 16 hours at the iPod slow USB speed, and later syncs take minutes.
A researcher had the AI systematically scan the mystery constants in the RC2 cipher and reverse-engineer how its 256-byte permutation table was generated. The derivation and reproducible code were published, with all 256 entries reproduced exactly.
Opens the AI and says this is bothering me for Linux desktop rough edges; it fixes them in the background, documents changes, and pushes his configs and dotfiles to a private git repo.
The AI connected to the creator's Instagram and pulled every positive DM and comment from the past five months; she hand-wrote them on sticky notes arranged around a world map.
He told the AI which folder held his video and its subtitles, and the AI synced the subtitles for him. He says that small fix was the most urgent thing in his day.
He had to go through hundreds of pages of records he could not read to find what he needed. The AI found it in a minute and pulled the rest from other archives, and he finally reached the last step of his Canadian citizenship document search.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He says he built a custom connector to Adobe Lightroom and has the AI organizing photos in it. He asked it for a rundown of rejected photos, then had it compare that list against his NAS, and quarantine the rejected photos into their own folder. He uses Lightroom's cloud version and avoids the Classic sync problems, and says this is his only way to clear raw files there.
