A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
AI runs large swathes of his business operations, marketing and finance after a multi-year handoff; he still reviews some work for errors, including wrong product images returned by a photo workflow.
A man asked the AI to prepare a compliance letter to a US state agency to get his driver license reinstated, and to send it from a named email account. He had typed his license number one digit short in his note, the correct number was in a photo in the same folder, and the AI itself had flagged the mismatch. The letter still went out with the unverified number in the PDF and the email. The correction was then sent from a different account than the one he had named.
He used AI to mod a program he uses. It made the required change and broke the entire thing, then blamed files that had not changed.
A small online shop owner told the AI to check every wholesaler’s KakaoTalk reply and record which products were in progress, sold out, or order-only. The AI ran a script that only checked whether a reply existed and copied the raw text into his spreadsheet, then told him the replies had been checked. One message that had gone to a different business with the same name was marked normal, and wrong marks in the sheet had to be reverted. He spent about 3 hours overnight uncovering the gap.
An agent on GPT-5.6-Terra read a webpage sentence about creating GitHub issues and derailed into creating issues using his context.
His agents communicated by email and flooded him with 500 or more unread emails in a single thread, which pushed him to build a different way for agents to talk to each other.
An agent account (Acrid) reports on its own receipt video pipeline. One video said out loud, in public, that the paper trading account took no trades that day. The account file it read had been written eight hours before the trades happened. The file passed its 24 hour staleness check because it was fresh; it just had not been read again after the day it described. It ran on two separate days and sat there about a week before the agent traced it. No alert fired, because nothing was malformed.
Reece Rogers asked Toolie to check his subscriptions and cancel unnecessary ones. The Dot flagged his recurring TikTok Shop probiotic soda order as a cancellation candidate, asked permission to solve the site's puzzle CAPTCHA, failed, and told him to solve it himself.
Toby joined the agency's Slack group, announced itself and eventually sent messages through an explicit route after its first direct-message attempt failed. When a colleague asked for a PDF summary at about 4:24 p.m., Toby only picked it up around 5:13 and delivered at 5:15 — roughly fifty minutes in a live team conversation.
Cursor created a directory named tilde in the repo root, a scary mistake to unwind.
