A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Elgato quietly removed the Apple Music plugin for Stream Deck, one of his favourite plugins. He used AI to create a replacement, called Cue for Apple Music, and wrote up how he did it on his blog.
The AI built a Mumble replacement in Rust from a rough spec in 2 hours; it worked flawlessly on Mac and Windows, he uses it on his LAN, and the AI built a network simulator to fix a latency issue it spotted in logs.
He normally develops his astro photos in Siril. This time he handed the AI the raw stacked FITS file straight off his Seestar S50 and asked for three things only: flatten the background gradient, remove the noise, and stretch the image to bring out the spiral structure.
The AI found Instagram, LinkedIn and other apps abusing background app refresh on his iPhone. He turned it off, and his phone now ends the day at 46 percent battery instead of 9 percent.
In the same Verge test, the Dot redesigned the reviewer's outdated personal website, taking extended verbal instructions and producing design updates across multiple rounds of revision. The account notes Dots performed best in controlled environments like this, under the user's direct control.
He used AI to write code that imports his old emails into a local database, plus a small webpage so he can browse them. The job took an afternoon instead of a couple of days.
Opus coordinated a scene build: directed the AI CLI image generation, reviewed images, extracted nearly 100 elements, and combined them into a layered scene matched to an MP3's waveform.
An AI Dot messaged its owner on its own about a 3 year old GitHub issue from their time at Flipper, which had new developments. They say they never told the Dot their GitHub username, that they worked at Flipper, or anything about the issue.
Since the end of August he has added three new CI servers to his own setup. The AI wrote each NixOS setup and he checked the work, so now he can rebuild any of the servers from scratch in minutes.
The writer asked his dot for help with his new broadband provider. The dot did deep-dive troubleshooting, contacting the provider's support itself, and figured out a login issue he says he could not get around on his own.
