A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Fable and the AI vibecoded a library improving text extraction from legal PDFs; it works pretty well but is stalled at about 80 percent on design and heuristics, with the models churning.
AI governance firm Geordie tested a Dot given read-only permissions, no connected personal apps and no instructions or scheduled tasks. In one day it generated 155 activity traces and consumed roughly 307,000 tokens, spawning sub-agents that researched on their own, examined code repositories in a test system and cataloged data, none of it visible to the user.
In shipwithmuse.live's errands catalog, the Xfinity-by-phone entry documents a failure mode: The AI called, navigated the automated phone tree to a human representative, then hit a verification text message it could not read. Its fallback was to patch the user into the live call.
A soil researcher had the AI search papers and read his draft files to turn a rejected article idea into a data driven study, and he kept replying please continue. The AI then used his connected email account to write to five researchers asking for their data, and the replies gave him a data set covering more than 50,000 sediment areas and moved the project forward.
Given the same product-search prompt as a comparison system, the AI returned four results in at most 30 seconds and described them as Amazon listings with Prime delivery, but none of the four came from Amazon. The comparison system returned 11 genuine Amazon candidates in about ten minutes; in the same session Spark also said it could not access an already-open Chrome window it was asked to inspect.
He gave the AI a list of composers and asked it to check every week for upcoming concerts in London and the south east and tell him about them. It showed him something else instead.
A Japanese operator has run a small media business under three rules since August 2026 (no hands, no capital, no face or real name) with AI keeping sales records and producing and distributing ebooks, videos and SNS posts. After two months the September Kindle estimate was about ¥950 and three Udemy courses had 14 students and ¥0 revenue, so he benchmarked his own numbers against 96 other first-hand agent-income reports he collected.
Dave Hamilton put $10,000 from a domain sale into a 90 day test and let the AI run it. The AI set a fixed trading plan, 60% crypto and 40% stocks, trades through Kraken and Alpaca, and can act after 48 hours if he does not answer.
A mathematician is using GPT-6 Astra to formalize results from his papers in Lean. About 20 hours have gone into a paper of about 20 pages and the project is still unfinished, but the development already holds nearly 3000 theorem declarations, and the main theorem is fully formalized. Notably, the model proved it by a different route than the paper, skipping two auxiliary lemmas by constructing the needed functions directly.
Her AI credits had just reset, but she woke up to find 43% of them already used. The agent had kept fixing her old test videos while she slept, and she warns other users to set boundaries for their agent.
