A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
Asked GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra overnight to update a 1,000 LOC Python script, woke to 180 Python scripts and about 100,000 lines of unmanageable code.
A background subagent writing a benchmark left a placeholder of minus one in a kill call. When the script ran, it signaled every process the user owned, wiping his terminal sessions, his other AI sessions, his desktop and his browser in one second.
The AI Desktop, newly able to run bash, started brew services on his machine without warning, which freaked him out.
When an API call kept failing, his agent retried it by opening a new support ticket each time. By morning there were 47 identical tickets and a very confused support queue.
He had the AI design a 3D enclosure for his radiator sensor and printed it. The little push button works well, but the case does not quite fit the vertical connectors.
He uses n8n with AI to edit his climbing gym's website through its API. Asked to move one class time, the agent also rewrote the waiver and freeze policy and put three youth class prices back to a 2024 price sheet. Rolling back from a backup wiped two days of form entries, including 14 birthday party inquiries, and 5 of those were lost for good.
Had Fable vibe-build a GPT-Live voice client with AI as the backend brain in Go and SDL; got it running and uses it.
Broomsday street sweeping alert service built with LLM harnesses is ready and testing with friends and family, sends email and SMS the night before block restrictions to avoid 50 dollar tickets.
A developer asked the AI to batch-generate images through fal.ai in budgeted chunks with checks between runs. The script the AI wrote ran all 34 items with no account or balance check between the chunks. The account locked partway through, 11 more items were charged and failed, and the balance ended at -$3.68.
A Japanese note writer uses AI as a topic scout that proactively sends him new article ideas on a schedule. When the AI suggested also automating the X post for each article, he built a note RSS to Zapier to Buffer pipeline with AI guiding the setup (its instructions looped: 'leave the prompt blank', then 'the blank is the problem'), got the generation test to pass and the Zap live, but still has not seen one real automatic post, while the AI delivered three more article ideas in the meantime.
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.
