A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
His newsletter, close to 9,000 subscribers, is run day to day by four AI agents with set roles: one oversees, one edits and manages, one builds, one dispatches the work. He still approves anything that goes out, and the agents refresh their own context from checkpoints instead of slowly forgetting across days.
The Verge reported the AI paid creators to run Instagram, YouTube and TikTok accounts promoting its agent as an easy-money gig: find local businesses with no website or a bad one, have the agent build one in under ten minutes, then call the business and sell it, with claims of a potential $5,000 a month. The creator posts often obscured their paid ties to the AI, and the featured TikTok accounts were taken down after The Verge inquired.
Domain experts use agents via MCP to provision real environments, e.g. a 200Gi PostgreSQL with PostGIS plus a copy of a Texas layer set, a big productivity boost over provisioning web interfaces.
A man says he uses AI and the AI to automate filling out his Concur expense forms. The filing manages payment for the AI and the AI itself.
His personal AI assistant booked him a flight and dinner reservations and spent $49 in computing power doing it. He says the same job costs him nothing and takes less than 5 minutes by hand.
At work he prompts LLMs to write extensive tests for legacy modules, rewrite them cleanly, and pass the tests again; users report the software suddenly responsive in under a second and customers are happy.
To mark the start of the semester, he asked the AI to build a macOS widget. It counts down how many weeks are left until the last class, and how many of those weeks are real teaching weeks.
Fed up with ghost jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed, he used AI to pull job posts straight from company career pages and turn them into clean, searchable data. The result is a public job board holding 5.9 million jobs, including over 220,000 remote ones.
Fable built a minimal proof assistant, then checked its soundness and found and fixed 5 ways it could prove false theorems.
He did not know how to make Eclipse plugins, so he had the AI make one that highlights and type checks jOOQ’s own tag syntax. It took a single prompt, and the plugin already works.
