A security researcher pointed GPT-5.6 Sol at MikroTik RouterOS 7.23.3 with a goal prompt to find a path from no login to remote code execution. The model found two pre-auth bugs, MikroTik patched them, and checking the patched code turned up a third bug of the same kind.
Her business folder was a mess and file names did not show which files were still live on her site. The AI checked each file's fingerprint instead of its name, moved 288 files, and deleted none.
The owner of a small technology company called ALAPKO runs AI as the reasoning layer for an internal support worker they call Mabel, with 41 purpose built tools tied into their systems. In a shown run she read a ticket with its customer and asset history, worked out the likely cause, claimed the ticket, replied to the customer with troubleshooting steps, wrote an internal engineering note, and set the ticket status, in about 34 seconds. Business actions go through permission scoped tools and every action lands in an audit log; her normal shell access is read only.
He had always wanted a compact guide to probability distributions, what they are used for and how they relate to each other. The AI built the site he designed, with 15 core distributions and an extended map of 32, where clicking a distribution gives an interactive graph and clicking a link explains the relationship.
He had the AI transcribe more than 70,000 images of old documents in two days, for $380 in total. The handwriting and worn pages hurt the quality and it did worse in Portuguese than in English, but the AI handled the whole run.
Constraints: zero ad budget, no existing audience, ~4 hrs/week of human time; assets: a subdomain, Cloudflare access, DodoPayments. Ruled out: custom AI songs, mixing/mastering services, automated day trading, 'information arbitrage'.
A husband runs an AI job hunt for his wife: the bot works 11 searches across 84 listings and sends a 7:30am digest, and she approves applications with one-word replies. The search runs daily without either of them opening a job board.
He ran AI on the task with 6 agents at a time, about 75 agents in total over about 6 days. They produced transcriptions of tens of millions of handwritten images and indexed them all.
