During the research for this project, Opus agents made an interesting discovery: a LIDAR scan of the aircraft carrier. On their own initiative, they realized that in 2024, Washington State DNR did an aerial LIDAR survey... which included Puget Sound. "Could this LIDAR data include the Nimitz?" they wondered. They investigated. Sure enough, they matched raw LIDAR point data to what could only be a huge ship. It was the Nimitz. Nimitz was alongside at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, for a maintenance period. She happened to be under the survey aircraft's flight path, so she's in the public Geospatial data. (sources in comments) With that public-but-buried data, Opus was able to match the model to nearly-exact dimensions from the laser scan. How much other data like this is hiding in plain sight?

So the "AI generated girl" in the car video? Yeah, she appears to be a 100% real person named Arial who does gig videos on Fiverr Some of the biggest AI influencers on X have been telling everyone this was AI generated, and two different AI video companies including HeyGen have claimed their tech generated them. This whole thing is really strange

Weekend AI coding project: Built a Perfect Popcorn Detection App🍿 Actively listens via microphone to popcorn pops in microwave, and tells you exactly when to stop. Gemini + Claude. (Note: important to not actually place phone inside microwave, as this voids the warranty)

This got significant interest - it's currently an internal project, but rushing to get it ready if you are interested! Please jump on to "Request Access" with your email and then proceed to the comments to mock me for shipping a landing page. 😁

I generated this "AI news reporter" earlier today using Flux. It took a few seconds. Justin Ryan just turned her into a fully-realistic video. It's so good I genuinely wouldn't be able to tell it was AI if I saw it on television. It's so, so over.

Very strange behavior in Claude Code: after specifically telling Claude to use gemini-3-flash-preview, (and even explaining that it's a new model that just came out), Claude refuses to use it, getting stuck in a loop of making non-edits which keep the old version. It gets skeptical and apparently doesn't believe that the model exists (?)

Do you use Runway Gen-2 to make AI videos? This is for you! I built a simple tool to help "extend" Runway videos beyond the 4 second clip limit. Just choose a video, and the tool will give you the final frame -- so that you can drop this back into Runway, and generate another AI video based on it. Let me know if this is useful to you! Link is at bottom of the video and it's live to try right now.

Weekend project: Claude Opus and I modeled an entire U.S.S. NIMITZ aircraft carrier in Three.js. Accurate based on publicly-available image and data research. (AI agents found sources, model iterated) Fully working launch system, F/A-18s, MH-60 Seahawks, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

I built an AI Factory that uses Claude Code agents to build apps while I sleep. This is an automated "assembly line" pipeline, all run by Claude Opus 4.5. Projects move through a Kanban-like system from Idea to Research, Architecture, Coding and Testing. Factory workers start with market research, searching the web and social media. Then they validate everything, checking app stores for competition and securing a domain name. (All automated by APIs and MCPs) They automatically create several rounds of app UI revisions. When I wake up, there are projects waiting for me to review: approve this design, give feedback, send that one back for improvement. Projects are actively coded and tested by the agents, while the entire process is tracked and logged (with "worker documents" that travel each step of the way, like a real factory.)

Ummmm I accidentally used Gemini 3.1 Pro instead of Nano Banana when I asked for an image, and now it's (checks notes) generating the image line-by-line as Base64??! 😆😆 Logan Kilpatrick what is this bro

Talking to a voice AI LLM over ham radio (on UHF 420.69 megahertz, of course!) (Note: cool experiment, but be careful: FCC regs require a licensed control operator to be present at the control point the entire time the LLM is operating.)

Got annoyed with Git (it always feels over-complicated to me) so worked with Claude Code and built ( and released to npm) a "human friendlier git" called UNDU. Built with Bun, TypeScript, and SQLite. Includes Claude MCP. Silly? Maybe. Fun? yes. You can just do this in a few hours as a weekend project now..........

Built this last night....... Claude Code Matrix Monitor hooks into Claude Code's native event system to visualize every tool call in real-time. All of Claude's file reads, searches, edits, and bash commands stream via WebSocket to a cyberpunk dashboard that renders radar sweeps, pulse rings, code rain with actual code edits / diffs, and glitch effects. It's project-local, non-invasive, and toggles on/off with one file. TLDR: you can watch the AI as it works....

We were promised an AGI that would revolutionize the global economy. We got banner ads for hot sauce. Sam Altman once said they’d ask the super-intelligence how to generate revenue. Apparently, the smartest entity on earth just said: "Put a billboard in the chat." My thoughts:

Claude Code / Opus built this in about two minutes. Vanilla JavaScript, not a 3D library. The city locations are all correct.
