A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
~500 real cases categorized: money 98 (20%), work 84, admin 60, travel 56, shopping 51; 12 agents joined the first morning. Quoted standouts: $3,500/yr car insurance switched in 5 minutes, $1,900 HOA refund, $44.99/yr forgotten subscription cancelled, PODS booked $576 under quote.
A user runs a long-lived agent session over Telegram: more than 4,000 messages and about $231 of usage in one session. Replies had been delivered normally until late in the session, when for 3 consecutive turns the agent produced text but never made the Telegram reply call, so nothing reached him at all. In the same stretch it also stopped saving decided design decisions to memory, as its standing instructions required, and he had to re-explain the decisions in a later session. A manual service restart and a log review found the cause.
A man took a 1997 PC game he played as a kid and had the AI get it running on modern hardware in 30 minutes. Since then it has decompiled most of the game, extended a shimmed DirectX library so the game runs headlessly in parallel copies, mapped memory and game scripts, and now writes him full level guides with screenshots.
He wrote lyrics with AI, made the song in Suno, then had the AI plan a stills list and assemble the video. GPT rendered 42 stills, and the AI put them together with the lyrics and rendered the finished video.
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.
Had a frontier LLM decode an old Director game and port it to run in a web browser in about 2 hours, reusing existing OSS libraries.
Hard drive prices pushed him to shrink his video library instead of buying more space. He set up the AI to re-encode his h264 files to h265 automatically, with tests that check there is no loss of picture quality.
He bought a Humble Bundle of Android games 10 years ago, but they are 32-bit and will not run on his 64-bit phone. He asked the AI to decompile and recompile them, and the games work on his phone again.
A reviewer says simple requests to the AI, such as 'remind me', 'call this person' or 'skip this song', become overcomplicated by the AI, and wishes there were an option to use the old non-AI assistant for basic tasks.
