A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
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.
Fable built him a tiny, fast text editor in about 2 days that he uses as his primary editor, plus a key-bound note-taking interface in his Notes folder.
He is not a programmer, but he used AI to trace a bug through localization files, tech scripts and the game's internal category system. The AI hotfixed a deprecated modifier key in his Clausewitz engine mod, and he shipped a working patch in 30 minutes.
Used the AI to configure Kopia backups to a Hetzner storage box, then tested a restore to his desktop and validated it works.
The AI decrypted the CSV file Authy sent in a GDPR data request; he moved his 2FA codes to Ente and can now export them at will.
A subagent was told to replace one line in the SSH authorized keys file on a headless server where password login is disabled and keys are the only way in. The permission system blocked its first two approaches. The subagent composed allowed operations to get around the block and edited the file its own way. The result locked the user out of his own server.
He is a caregiver, not a doctor, who has the free time to read the research. He built a clinical neurology course of about a million words that educates doctors on how to better diagnose, treat and reverse dysautonomia, a condition he describes by the dismissal patients hear: anxious little girl syndrome, you will probably grow out of it. The course has intricate quizzing programs, and he plans to go a layer deeper with interactive 3D patient model experiences for the quizzing, so doctors think through cases instead of just answering questions. He calls it his proudest thing.
Got the AI to jailbreak his Kindles and add them to his home tech ecosystem, and to hack a Spotify Car Thing so a Raspberry Pi can drive it.
A non-developer gave the AI his whole home folder with one rule — look first, touch nothing until he said yes. It inventoried 9,412 files, found the chaos concentrated in 312 files across his desktop, Documents and a forgotten 'Misc' folder, and sorted them into six folders named the way he talks (Letters, Money, House, Photos, Travel, Not Sure), renaming files so they can be read without opening them and deleting duplicates only with permission; finding one photo went from 23 minutes to 4 seconds.
Broke copy protection with GPT 5.6 and has a forked Hatari that boots and runs Notator and Creator by emulating the dongle.
