His e-reader is now an external e-paper display, jailbroken by one model and coded by another
Jailbroke his Kindle with GPT-5.5 Sol and turned it into an external e-paper display; the project code was written by GPT-5.6 Sol.

Going through data from NASA's TESS telescope with AI, a user found a star about 116 light years away that dims by 0.05 percent every 3.18 days for about two hours, the same dip in 2018, 2020 and 2025 data. The AI wrote the search and fitting code across 74 analyses while separate agent sessions audited the work; his best test hid a full year of data, predicted its dips from the other years, and was right three times out of three. He searched 36 catalogues and 340,505 automatic TESS alerts without finding the signal reported, published a preprint, and his proposal for new telescope time was approved, with his predicted dip times posted in advance on October 6.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI patched his degraded VR game setup back to life in a few hours
Opened the AI and got his degraded GTA5 VR setup running again with custom patches for old bugs in a few hours.
Recompiling a classic SNES game with an agent's help

The AI wrote the scripts that moved my password items into Notes
Some of his items would not work in Apple Passwords, so he had the AI write scripts, using the 1Password CLI and AppleScript, that imported those items into Notes for him. Because the scripts were deterministic, he does not think his sensitive data was shared.
The AI rebuilt a ZX81 memory dump game in Go and got every step right
Asked the AI to build a ZX81 memory dump game in Go; it nailed it, converting the binary back to BASIC and then to Go.
The AI took a phone emulator from crashing at 2 frames a second to a playable 30
The AI used an adb and profiling harness to take the Eden emulator on a Pixel 10 from crashing to 2 fps to 20-30 fps in Breath of the Wild.
A language model transcribed a whole historical correspondence volume
A researcher had a language model transcribe a digitised volume of Sophie Germain's incoming correspondence at the national library, and published the transcription. Working from it, he spotted a mathematical note written on an 1814 letter cover and is asking who wrote it.
Edit my 90-minute tennis match down to just the points
Noah recorded 90 minutes of tennis-match footage and is working with his AI to edit out all the dead time between points so only the action remains. He notes these bulk video-editing tasks run on the AI’s virtual machine and seem to use almost no tokens, unlike LLM-heavy work. The edit was still in progress in the video.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI read 100-year-old service manuals and caught errors in them and in his own reading
The AI interpreted scanned old service manuals and circuit diagrams, ran simulation experiments to verify manual claims, cross-checked datasheets and papers, caught typos and his own misreadings.
