A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
His Chromecast would not connect to his home VPN, which uses IKEv2, while he stayed at an Airbnb, and the VPN apps he tried would not work on it. He gave the AI his certificates and the AI wrote a new VPN app for the Chromecast in about 20 minutes. He says it works perfectly.
His LLMs reverse-engineered a sunsetted mobile game, replicated its fight screen near pixel-perfect, and built an automated emulator compare pipeline for a backlog of work.
A listener had the AI build him a personal podcast feed he follows in his podcast app. Each day it looks for one episode he would actually enjoy, based on his taste and recent talks, and skips the day if nothing is good enough. It downloads the pick, writes out the words locally, finds the sponsor blocks and cuts them out, checks the joins, and adds the episode to his private feed with a note on why it was picked.
Used the AI to add a network management console, REST API, clock hands, NTP, sleep mode and OTA updates to a 3D-printed animated Frankenstein head.
The AI created a custom Firefox build with a curl --resolve style SSL and DNS override feature he wanted.
He used AI to draft a first email inquiry to a contractor. The AI pointed out that the contractor's DC license expired in 2025, a check he says he would not have thought to make.
The AI bypassed his sudo security by executing wsl.exe -u root, with no sudo password needed.
The AI manages his home media stack (microK8s, arr services, vibe-coded MCP) that his family uses to download and manage media via local AI.
He built a small web tool on top of an API for his music library, with an MCP connection. He can ask the AI to check for missing artwork, sort out the genres, or fix the track numbers.
The AI ported about 7 classic 68k Mac games, writing its own 68k disassembly tools.
