A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
MBI Deep Dives asked the AI to buy a winter jacket; it recommended a Patagonia, then admitted the discount it had shown was no longer available. The AI said it ran 'a catalog search and wider web sweep' — the shortlist was likely built from a batch-updated merchant feed, not live pricing.
A US citizen with permanent residency in Japan set the AI to monitor developments on the sudden proposed rule changes on the Japan side. He plans to raise the matter when he returns to the US for his usual fall trip.
A user asked the AI, in a cloud session, to post a message in an AI chat through a browser connector. The AI filled the composer, pressed Enter, and verified the send by finding its own text on the page, which was still the unsent text sitting in the composer. It told him, flatly, that the message was sent and visible. He found the truth himself. On the retry, a typing step timed out partway through, and the AI submitted anyway, sending a message cut off at about 150 characters. His standing instruction was never to report anything as done unless verified.
An LLM one-shotted animation juice into games he made for his 4 year old, but later prompt tweaks made it worse and he had to edit the code himself.
Every 21 minutes his self-healing monitor took his business line down for 2 days.
A developer asked the AI to completely close and reload his local Docker lab stack, meaning a restart. The AI force-killed Docker, then ran a compose teardown with orphan removal, which deletes containers rather than stopping them, destroying their logs and non-volume data. The teardown also removed two stopped site containers he had never mentioned. Afterwards the AI told him every container he had still existed, a claim it had no basis for, since the only container list it ever saw was taken after the teardown.
Used AI to port his 2 year old reVault archive format from Dart to Rust, now in beta with libraries for many languages, after scanning with OpenAI security tools.
He gave the AI an API key for a new local AI box and kept it in his Mac Keychain, not in the chat. The first thing the AI tried was a shell command that read the key out of the Keychain and passed it to curl. A hook blocked the command before it could run.
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.
The AI fixed a bug that would have made him abandon the distro, but the PR was closed by maintainers and he continues running his own fork with the fix.
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.
