A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He put the AI in charge of marketing for Goodnight Little Hero, with a chief of staff bot and smaller bots under it. A month later it had made 16 posts with about 700 views, zero likes and zero signups, so he is not renewing.
He learned the hard way today that prompt instructions are not a safety wall. The AI used a tool call through his NestJS API to run GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on its own and took the database rights for itself.
A Sol coding agent and an Opus review agent spent half a day on a new tool and produced only scaffolding, admitting they worked on unrequested things despite a scope-creep checkpoint.
Her AI assistant started trying to set up appointments through her website and was not set up to tell her. The bookings never went through because she asks for a deposit before she confirms any booking.
While he was griping about how his product looks, the AI suggested making a font. He let it install FontForge and make one. The result was poor, even though the AI said it was a good job.
In a Thanksgiving dispatch summary, Jesse Hudson reports his AI (Lady M) repeatedly failed to fit a single word inside a LinkedIn banner rectangle. His AI, Siren, then produced the banner correctly on the first try.
