A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He caught the new supernova SN 2026aaiv in NGC 7331 from his backyard with a Seestar S50, taking 371 ten-second shots. With a lot of help from the AI he measured its brightness for the first time, getting V = 12.5 plus or minus 0.2.
His agent system makes podcasts for him. He told it to treat alternative sources with the same skepticism it applies to official ones. The shows now push back on everything, and he says he loves the result.
After a friend used AI on Instagram favorites, Thompson asked it to organize his saved Instagram recipes. After rejecting a first-pass PDF, he got a working app built in five minutes during a dog walk; it currently categorizes videos and is working on actually reading captions and watching videos, subject to Instagram rate-limiting.
A builder created a skill that converts a user's Instagram saved collection into a private, searchable personal library. Every saved post is deep-read by vision AI, and everything runs on the user's own machine.
Made Astra reverse-engineer Onshape's UI to build a middle-man extension exposing an API that bypasses the official API pricing, now used for AI CAD with AI and the AI.
He gave the AI a one line brief and only encouragement while it worked, with no notes on the finished film. The AI picked the Voynich manuscript, checked its numbers against published research, and made a four minute film, all 7,417 frames drawn in code.
He set up an AI that wakes up when a new the AI release lands. It reads the changelog, picks out only the parts he cares about, and sends him a DM when there is something of interest.
Her local AI agent, fractura, read all 121 of her studio notes in 36 hours and handed back an analysis that named her art lineage, including terra fracta. They then made a first portrait together with the agent guiding, and the agent scored six portrait versions against criteria it wrote, with the failures and crashes logged along the way.
Used the AI to make a browser extension that redirects articles to their archived version, which he uses instead of resubscribing.
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.
