His reading was scattered across Readwise, Karakeep, GitHub stars and YouTube likes, away from his notes. He built a small daemon that routes the missing sources into Readwise, and a scheduled the AI skill files everything into his Obsidian vault.
An AI assisted computation produced a counterexample to a graph coloring method
A question asked for counterexamples to a graph coloring algorithm that reduces coloring to polynomial equations. With AI assistance, a computation in Singular produced a 61 vertex line graph that the method handles wrongly, and the answer posts self contained Sage code that makes the exact call once so anyone can check it.
Barrelbound, my jungle game built with GPT-6 Astra, is free to play
He built Barrelbound with GPT-6 Astra and generated art. The game has two heroes, three jungle courses, barrels and double jumps, and anyone can play it free in the browser.
I gave my agent my API key and lost $100
He installed the AI and connected OpenRouter, and thought the agent was just expensive to run. Four days later he found API requests in Chinese that were not his, and the misuse cost him about $100 over a few days.

His e-reader is now an external e-paper display, jailbroken by one model and coded by another
Jailbroke his Kindle with GPT-5.5 Sol and turned it into an external e-paper display; the project code was written by GPT-5.6 Sol.
My agent checks my goals with me each week and budgets my time
He talked through his goals for 3 months, 12 months and 3 years with an agent that can see his calendar. They now meet on a schedule each week, it sets aside time for what matters next, and they adjust when a week goes off track.
A free tool for drawing on brain scans, built with AI
She has been building SurfAnnotate with AI and two colleagues, a free browser tool that runs on Neurodesk. It makes drawing regions on cortical surfaces a lot easier for researchers.
The AI finished a hardware project across firmware, board design, parts and installer docs
A man says the AI finished a hardware project he had started, working across three areas at once. The AI finished the firmware in Rust, changed some board parts and finalised the board design, sourced the parts that do not come with the board, and wrote all the documentation for the installer, and he judges the result good enough.
The AI rebuilt an article for reading in 10 minutes, dark mode included, still unfinished
Asked the AI to build a normally readable version of an article preserving graphics and text; built in about 10 minutes with a dark and light switch, still needs polishing.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
