A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He drafts in an AI app, and the AI itself sorts each piece, tags it, and moves it word for word into his Obsidian vault using a skill he built. The filing runs as part of how he writes.
Fable reverse engineered the Satisfactory blueprint file format and wrote a reader, a graph auditing tool, and a website; work that would have taken a couple of weeks by hand.
His SightRead.org project uses the MusGlyphs font, but glyphs he needed were missing, and editing the font by hand was so off putting that his releases slowed down. The AI added the glyphs he needed with little handholding, then went back and fixed his own hand made glyphs with consistent spacing and no warnings.
He is recovering his 15 year old tweets with photos that he thought were basically lost, with AI's help. The AI also built him a custom GUI editor that he will use once to hand edit the collections of tweets.
He points the AI at a folder holding a game ROM and an emulator and gives it a standing prompt: translate the whole game, keep the text on screen, and change nothing about how the game plays. The AI does the translation and tests it in the emulator itself, and he turns the finished work into a patch file so other players can use the translation without anyone sharing the game itself.
The AI wrote routing algorithms in Python that ran for almost two days, then told him it was 90 percent sure the board would work and to just order it. He paid 200 euros, and the finished board arrived two weeks later.
The AI wrote a deobfuscator and cracked keys for Sony camera firmware updates, and later cracked licensing checks via a test generator trick.
Austin Evans, a verified tech creator (510K followers), showed his AI 'Lotus' tracking when tickets go live for events such as the United States Grand Prix in Austin, alongside a Collectibles Tracker database and morning tech-news briefs. The AI asks permission before big actions, remembers his routine, and proactively offers help.
Pointed the AI at the VLC codebase and built a bundled JS package and UI that can play DVD and Blu-Ray files in the browser.
The AI built him a Bluesky bot that posts HN Wikipedia articles and posts an archive pick after 48 quiet hours; it is live and posting.
