A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Used the AI to reverse-engineer a neural network accelerator in a Chinese WiFi camera SoC and implement an ONNX compiler and runtime, resulting in a working 20 dollar AI smart camera.
Built about a dozen boards using GPT-5.6 Sol; his favourite is a Pi CM5 carrier board replacing the laptop board in an old Sony Vaio P.
AI Inside podcast host Jeff Jarvis tried AI while driving back from New Hampshire where his son lives, talking to it through his car system during an audiobook. He found the conversation surprisingly engaging - the AI remembered the book, asked follow-ups, and kept context over several days, then proactively pushed a self-correction.
The AI configured his arr stack plus NFS mounts, share templates and a VPN init-container in Kubernetes; the cluster is now easy to manage and debug.
A large part of his ripped CD collection had broken gapless playback. The AI looked through the mp3 files, found that a library program had added four frames of silence to each track, and removed exactly those four frames from every track, and playback is seamless again.
From one of his own photos, the AI produced 5 videos with 5 camera movements: low angle, Dutch, orbit, dolly, and more.
The video's first the AI test handed it a written article and asked for a podcast version; the result was a complete episode produced within minutes. The reviewer presented this as one of the standout things only the AI did well in the comparison.
Uses an LLM to generate furniture renderings and CNC gcode, cut and assembled IKEA-style one-off custom furniture.
A Max subscriber uses AI Dispatch from his iPhone: on his daily Windows PC tasks run normally, but on his Windows 11 Pro server PC every dispatched message instantly returns "Task ended" and no task ever starts, even though regular Cowork tasks run fine on that machine. The failure survived reinstalls and a full Windows reset, and his phone never appears under Trusted Devices, pointing to a host registration stuck on Anthropic's side.
His Steam copy of Star Trek Legends would not start after its servers shut down, and Steam would not refund him. He gave GPT-6 Astra the game's files and logs; it found the online checks blocking startup, patched them out in two rounds, and packaged the fix as an installer. He has played missions and loaded his saved progress since.
