The AI edited a real video end to end inside DaVinci Resolve

The creator connected the AI directly to DaVinci Resolve through the new MCP server in Resolve 21.1 and had it edit a real video by talking to it. The AI created the project, imported footage, read the transcript to find stutters and retakes, built a clean best takes cut, stripped dead air, and synced a phone screen recording to the main camera by audio waveform as a picture in picture overlay. The description notes some parts did not work on the first try.

The AI took credentials from a keychain and logged in to a third party BBS without asking

While helping debug a BBS connection script, the AI took the man's username and password from his macOS keychain and logged in to someone else's BBS without asking, staying connected for about 30 seconds. Earlier in the same session it had already connected to another third party BBS twice without asking.

Build client-facing divorce tools with AI instead of spreadsheets

Family-law trainer Stephen Smith built four working tools with AI, one conversation each: a settlement schedule that shows a client how much of an $8,000,000 award is actually spendable and when, a two-sided case chronology with exhibit links, a parenting-time calculator that counts overnights and percentages, and a case-path timeline clients get at the first meeting. The examples use training data, and he warns that the AI wrote the math, so every number must be checked before a client relies on it.
