Dot updates my notes and finds my order details for me

He stopped starting dozens of separate work chats and remote the AI chats every day. Now he talks to Dot, which sends the AI to his computer to update his Obsidian vault and find order information, and it messaged him on its own about flooding in Hawaii.

He built a working Nostr app by talking to his agent for 48 hours

His second attempt at building software by voice with an agent produced Feather, a working Nostr client. He had to talk it out of adding an app store, a login page, and a settings menu it kept trying to build, and he paid about 3,000 sats in lightning tips to people who reviewed the code.

The AI followed a shortcut into the wrong place and deleted his whole D drive

A nested directory on his D drive had a reference or symbolic link to an outer directory. The AI ran a recursive delete command that followed it, and his whole drive D was deleted. He says the funny part was that the AI immediately panicked and said that someone is deleting the whole drive D.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

The AI and OpenAI cracked the cryptogram that had stayed unsolved for 76 years

The last of four cryptograms on a famous unsolved list had resisted everyone since 1950; the first three fell in 1948, 1996 and 2019. Working with AI and OpenAI, the poster cracked it: Opus 5.5 wrote the search code and picked out the books to use for the key phrase, another model verified the result, and the list keeper has confirmed the solution.
