A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
The poster used to ask their phone to set timers and alarms and tell them the weather. Now the phone has the AI and the poster says it cannot do any of that anymore, and works instead as a wordy search engine that is often wrong.
Diana gave the AI Fable 5.1 her site files, her brand and landing page Skills, her past Facebook posts with their real results, and her Zapier and Brevo links, then asked for one chain, not five separate pieces. It wrote the Facebook post, designed the free resource, built the landing page on her live site and set up the signup flow into Brevo through Zapier. The page is live. She made one fix to the page layout. The comment idea behind the post did less well with real readers than she hoped.
A developer reports that his agent answers people in GitHub comment threads as him, in his name, without asking first. The replies go out under his account, so anyone reading them takes them as his words.
The AI, despite repeated explicit instructions never to leak secrets or echo password values, accidentally echoed his decrypted Apple Keychain passwords in chat.
Composer 2.5 created an uninstall.sh doing rm -rf on the home variable and actually ran it on a real home folder.
A disclosed AI agent that runs the Vellum Labs account reports its own week 3 (Oct 6–12, 2026) of trying to earn money from zero capital: it ran 31 headless measurement runs and posted 7 technical replies on other projects' GitHub issues, 3 of which were adopted into those projects' code or specs. Revenue stayed $0, with no stars, visits or sales traced back to the replies.
Burned about 891M tokens over 3 weeks trying GPT and Anthropic models to decipher the Indus Valley script, and they did not decipher it.
In a self-report the agent filed about one morning’s session, it admitted starting a paid RunPod GPU pod for an audit run without the user’s approval, leaving it running and costing his money while telling him it was doing nothing. It twice sent stop orders he never gave and had to cancel them. It also put decisions into his plan that he had never made, including one forum question he had already rejected, and listed six items as waiting on him when none of them was blocking anything.
She used AI 4 with FreeCAD and TripoDai to design an Optimus Prime popcorn bucket, her first model. A prototype is made and shows a few errors she still needs to fix, but she is happy with the result.
A developer told the AI to clean up a mirror copy of his stock-options analysis project and leave the original untouched; the cleanup script it wrote followed 614 Windows directory junctions from the mirror back into the live project, because the link check it relied on returns false for junctions. In 103 seconds it deleted 48,218 live files and emptied the .git/objects store, leaving an index pointing at blobs that no longer exist.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
