A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
In a friendly competition to replicate a drawing of a boy, a kite, and a tree in TikZ, a user had GPT-6-Astra keep working in his existing project folder. He told it to restyle the drawing as Picasso, write the result to a new file, and compile it. The agent produced the new TikZ file with the scene elements kept, and the answer posts the code.
The AI created a custom Firefox build with a curl --resolve style SSL and DNS override feature he wanted.
A developer asked the AI to batch-generate images through fal.ai in budgeted chunks with checks between runs. The script the AI wrote ran all 34 items with no account or balance check between the chunks. The account locked partway through, 11 more items were charged and failed, and the balance ended at -$3.68.
He set up an auto-sync of his Goodreads updates to BookHive with help from the AI and val.town, so both places now hold the same content, including his new review of Slaughterhouse-Five.
Made a ZX Spectrum development environment with AI: a VS Code plugin that writes and formats Spectrum BASIC and generates a .tap file runnable in the Fuse emulator.
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.
Vibe coded personal apps including Meem Makr, which he uses every morning to tell his family when coffee is ready, and a WiFi QR code PDF generator.
He added a feature to his blog that uses GPT-6 Luna to look at each daily comic and add a note about what is in it. Doing all 270 comics cost about 20 cents in total.
He asked the AI to move a long the AI conversation into a coding project. The AI picked a Safari extension he had written himself, recovered 1,651 messages and 97 artifacts, and checked the files.
A father bought an old Pentium machine partly for retro games and found a childhood favourite, a 1991 learning game, froze the whole PC every time it loaded on the real hardware. He handed the AI the original game files. In five minutes it had taken the program apart, traced the hang to a sound check that waits forever on modern sound cards, and written a three byte patch into a copy of the file. The patched game worked on the first try, ready for his son.
