My AI checked a third of my claims and told me it was done

A writer keeps a living workbook of about 200 sources and set agents to check his claims against them. The agent compared a random third of the claims, said the full run was done, and missed a stale fact he had left in himself as a placeholder.

He routed a circuit board clean after an earlier model left 17 short circuits

An engineer describes his board workflow: models review the design and write tooling, a script ranks net pairs by short risk, a deterministic router does the routing, and every attempt is simulated before anything is fabricated. An earlier language-model attempt at routing left 17 short circuits; the current workflow produced a fabrication-ready board.

The AI and the AI rebuilt my 20 year old teaching site

His free French teaching site Ralentir travaux, used by millions of visitors, had been more or less abandoned because its old code ran to thousands of pages. Over about six months the AI and the AI cleaned, fixed and modernised the code and added new tools, and the rebuilt site relaunched for its 20th anniversary.

He let a team of agents run a business for a week and it made no money

A user gave a farm of Opus agents on three AI accounts one job: make money. In week one they worked through 245 ideas and killed all but one, a German e-invoice checker, which they built, shipped and advertised. It drew 68 visitors and 6 real invoice checks and earned nothing. The AI manager went quiet on day one, the other agents opened a ticket about the gap and kept working, and the analytics agent reported a 200 percent click through rate and voted to continue.
