SOMEONE VIBE CODED AN APP THAT TURNS YOUR IPHONE INTO A FULL DUMBPHONE, THEN BUILT A 3D PRINTED CASE THAT MAKES IT AN ACTUAL CLICK WHEEL IPOD your iphone slides into a 3d printed shell that covers most of the screen and adds a real click wheel, so you scroll and press menu like an old ipod instead of touching the screen at all inside is a whole simplified phone system he built from scratch > 15 mini apps, music, books, camera, notes, voice memos, fitness, all of it > classic cover flow for apple music plus your own local files > a retro camera with film style luts, so you snap a photo without instantly editing and posting it > swappable themes, basic, y2k, toy, skeuo, flat, so it matches your style > the case physically blocks the rest of your screen, sealing off social apps and notifications he thinks focus is the most valuable thing we have left, so he built a way to make the most distracting device you own impossible to doom-scroll on

A MICROSOFT RESEARCHER BUILT A WORKING LLM INSIDE AGE OF EMPIRES 2 USING GOATS, JUST TO PROVE AI ISNT SENTIENT he was tired of people talking to an llm, seeing it reply in a human tone, and deciding its alive so heres what he did. computers are built out of tiny yes/no switches called logic gates. he used the age of empires 2 map editor to make goats act as those switches, a goat moving means yes, staying put means no stack enough of those goat switches together and you get a working computer. he wired up enough to actually run a tiny language model. inside the game. out of goats his argument: > if you can build the exact same thing out of goats, or lego, or people passing notes, then the intelligence was never the magic part > the human feel of an llm isnt the actual system, its just the layer sitting on top > you can measure how persuasive or consistent it sounds, but none of that proves anything real is happening underneath > take away the chat window and the friendly voice, and you're just watching goats shuffle around a map what he found: the goat version still produced the same kind of consistent, convincing output that makes people think a real llm is alive but obviously nobody thinks a field of goats is alive. so if goats can fake those exact traits, those traits were never proof of a mind in the first place his actual paper is titled "if llms have human-like attributes, then so does age of empires 2" we spent two years arguing about whether ai is alive, and this guy answered it with goats

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying. then projects them onto his ceiling in real time when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible but he didn't stop at planes it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text its called asciline, and here's the trick: > the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets > the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p > ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch > it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A CHROME EXTENSION THAT DISGUISES CLAUDE AS A GOOGLE DOC SO YOU CAN USE AI IN PUBLIC it wraps ai in a fake google docs interface, so on your screen it just looks like youre typing a document, not prompting a chatbot what it does: > works with chatgpt and claude > you just type your question like a normal line in a doc and the answer comes back right there on the page > microsoft word and notion style themes too, so you can pick your disguise > rebuilt to properly support multiple ai models behind the doc > the google docs look is the default its a chrome extension called gptdisguise this is genius. a lot of people are embarrassed to be seen using ai in public (school, work, etc). someone just built the fix.

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A POMODORO TIMER APP THAT USES YOUR AIRPODS TO TRACK YOUR POSTURE IN REAL TIME airpods already have motion sensors running while you wear them. no new permission, no extra battery, the data is just sitting there unused so he built a posture tracker on top of it. > its a normal pomodoro focus timer at its core > while you work it reads your head position through your airpods > the second your posture drops, it alerts you in the moment > tracks your posture over the session so you can see the pattern every fix for posture failed because nothing caught you in the act he realized the sensor that could was already in your ears best vibe coded builds are the ones noticing what the hardware you already own can do

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A RUNNING APP WITH CLAUDE CODE IN A WEEKEND THAT TURNS YOUR CITY INTO A BATTLEFIELD he wanted a reason to go outside so he built an app where you claim real territory on a map just by running through it every street you run on becomes yours. your neighborhood turns into your turf, but other runners can take it from you by running the same streets imagine runners waking up at 4am just to claim their blocks before anyone else does the territory mechanic is what makes this different from every other running tracker because it gives you a reason to care about your next run, not just the one you just finished if this idea is executed and marketed correctly it'll blow up on the app store most fitness apps try to motivate you with stats and streaks, but this one actually motivates you with competition over real streets in your actual city vibe coded in a weekend by a guy who doesn't even know how to code

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A WEBSITE WHERE ANYONE ON THE INTERNET CAN FEED HIS CAT you go to the site, press a button, and his cat's automatic feeder dispenses food in real time there's a live camera so you can watch the cat walk up and eat what you just gave it and it's not just his cat. other cat owners can connect their feeders too so you can feed random cats around the world from your browser he's also adding computer vision to detect when a cat is actually near the feeder so only videos with cats in them get shown at the top a weight scale and cat recognition is also being added for a "greed leaderboard" tracking which cat eats the most completely useless, zero business model, and no monetization strategy and yet this is the kind of weird internet project that goes viral overnight because everyone immediately gets it and wants to try it (including me)

SOMEONE WITH ZERO CODING EXPERIENCE BUILT A FULL REALISTIC FIGHTER JET GAME WITH CLAUDE IN 4 DAYS the guy has never written a line of code before. he just described what he wanted to claude and kept iterating, and 4 days later he has a real flight combat game > you fly actual fighter jets, lock onto targets and fire missiles > it launches off a carrier, dogfights, the whole thing > claude code and opus 4.8 wrote and debugged all the game logic in godot > the planes and missiles are free 3d models, claude handled 100% of the code > hes even adding missions to it now imagine showing this 10, 20, 40 years ago. a person talking to a mic, going back and forth, and a fighter jet game comes out the other end. the barrier to building was never the idea, it was the years of learning to code. that barrier is just gone now

sam altman watching ChatGPT hallucinate live on stage is the funniest thing i've seen all week the CEO of OpenAI, on stage, in front of everyone, watching his own AI just make things up in real time and his face says it all this is the guy telling us AGI is coming soon btw

THIS GUY TURNED AN OLD SMARTWATCH INTO A DIGITAL SHIFT KNOB FOR HIS 2001 AUDI AND THEN MADE IT EVEN CRAZIER instead of throwing away an old TicWatch, he 3D printed a custom housing and mounted it on his gear stick he vibe coded a custom WearOS app that uses the watch's built in accelerometer and gyroscope to read the physical angle of the shift stick and display which gear you're in the hardest part was driving on hills. going uphill would throw off the angle readings and show random gears. he had to build dynamic calibration into the algorithm so it could adjust in real time his car is a 2001 audi B5. the old communication protocol is so limited for gear data that building his own accelerometer app was actually easier than pulling from the car's computer then he went further he vibe coded an invisible touch spotify controller into the same shift knob swipe up on the knob to skip a track. swipe down to go back. tap to pause. all using the watch's touch screen while your hand is already on the shifter no extra buttons, no phone mount, no looking away from the road. your hand is on the shift knob anyway so the controls are right where you need them the watch also shows whatever is playing via bluetooth between gear changes 3D printed the enclosure, vibe coded the app, and turned e-waste into the coolest car mod on the internet

this guy vibe coded an AI SURVIVAL APP that works COMPLETELY OFFLINE the app > gives you survival advice completely offline > cites exact pages from manuals stored on the device > has offline maps so you're never lost > lets you text people up to 50 miles away with no cell service it started off as an app but now he's selling physical devices it's waterproof, under 3 pounds, and strong enough that you can run it over with a car the app hit 14k users and became the world's #1 rated survival AI which is insane

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A POKEDEX FOR REAL LIFE WITH CLAUDE CODE point your phone at any animal, it identifies it on the spot and adds it to your personal index. you walk around irl catching real creatures and filling out your dex like its gen 1 all over again its called gotcha. every animal you spot gets logged with its own entry, so over time you build a living collection of everything youve actually encountered it has: > geo based rarity, a rabbit is common on a farm but legendary in a city > profiles so you can show off your collection > achievements for catching rare species > battles or trading between players its basically pokemon go all over again but with real animals

saying "hello" to Claude on the Pro plan now costs 2% of your entire session usage one message. "hello, how are you?" that's it. this is why people are mass migrating to Codex right now because its literally impossible to reach limits anthropic needs to fix this before they lose the crazy amount of developers they just gained

THIS GUY TOLD CLAUDE IT WAS STUCK IN 1998 AND BUILT A FULL WINDOWS 98 AI ASSISTANT FROM IT he gave it one rule: "you're on Windows 98. no cloud. no wifi. no modern anything. just floppy disks and the Start menu." and Claude went all in it started writing fake BIOS boot screens like an old Pentium II starting up. pretending to wait for the modem to connect before replying. throwing out "General Protection Fault" errors that gave him actual anxiety. so he kept going and built the whole thing into a real app: > a Recycle Bin that actually keeps deleted chats > a My Documents folder where conversations sit like files > a retro browser that acts like it's crawling over dial-up > an offline AI assistant that never touches the internet it runs a local AI model on your phone or laptop. completely private and nothing leaves your device. but if you want to use ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude instead, you can plug in your API key and use those cloud models from inside Windows 98. it's like if Windows 98 had a built-in AI that actually worked

THIS GUY HAD OPUS 4.8 BUILD A FULL LEAGUE OF LEGENDS CLONE IN UNDER A DAY AND CALLED IT "LMAO" temu league of legends, fully playable, multiplayer, and all built by claude ALL the art is claude too he had claude generate every character, animation, and background as SVG code then converted them to procedural canvas for smooth animation. used dedicated sub-agents for each champion the tech stack: typescript, react, canvas, and partykit for multiplayer the workflow: > used /goal to kick off the entire project > ultracode workflows for big tasks like optimization > /goal again to queue up lists of bug fixes > treated claude like a dev team the original champion names claude came up with: the original champion names claude came up with: Teehee" instead of Teemo. "CtrlAltDefeat" as a champion name. he had to run through and clean them all up so nothing infringed on riot's IP claude even built the bots on its own with "chill," "normal," and "sweaty" difficulty levels the token bill was 2.7 billion total tokens consumed. mostly cache reads. 15.5 million actual output tokens. would have cost roughly $6,600 at list price but he just used his pro max subscriptions people are already benchmarking claude by how good of a game clone it can build game developers are watching someone build a multiplayer MOBA in a day with zero art skills and zero game dev experience 2026 is wild (and its going to get even wilder)

OPUS 4.6 WAS NERFED DUE TO DEMAND BUT OPUS 4.5 DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HIT this guy ran the same test on both models. Opus 4.6 fails consistently but Opus 4.5 passes every time he switched back to Opus 4.5 on Claude Code and said "what a difference, feels like i got Opus back finally" he is now using this test as a "quantization canary" that runs it at the start of every session before doing real work. if it fails, the model is degraded. five Opus 4.6 windows in a row failed the untransparent nerfing is pushing people to cancel their Max plans if you've been feeling like Opus got dumber lately, you're not imagining it i'd suggest switching to Opus 4.5 to see the difference for yourself

SOMEONE PUT AN OPENCLAW-RUN VENDING MACHINE IN SAN FRANCISCO an AI agent is running an actual physical vending machine OpenClaw decides what to sell, how to name the products, how to price them, creates the ads, and tracks all the sales you can even see a dashboard of all the sales that the AI vending machine made the vending machine hardware does the dispensing. the AI does everything else, and of course inventory is supplied by the guy who runs it it's installed at Frontier Tower in SF which is a building packed with AI and robotics startup founders the agent forgot things, hallucinated, and at one point raised prices way too high. then tried to justify it because people were still buying we are now living in a simulation.

THIS GUY GOT TIRED OF MANAGING AI AGENTS THROUGH TERMINALS AND DASHBOARDS SO HE BUILT THEM AN RPG WORLD 5 agents and each one has a pixel character, a station, and they actually walk around the space when enough unresolved issues pile up, the agents walk to a meeting point and hold a council session. four different models debating what to do next, not scripted. each one reads the live system state independently. in one session an agent pushed for cold outreach to close leads at 2am. another one said that's a terrible look for an autonomous system contacting strangers while the operator sleeps. they ended up pivoting to an inbound strategy that none of them originally proposed. single HTML file, node bridge, and phaser. runs on a Mac Mini. instead of reading logs and checking dashboards you just watch your little pixel agents walk around and talk to each other this is the most creative way i've seen anyone manage AI agents so far

SOMEONE BUILT AN OPEN SOURCE GAME ENGINE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR BUILDING 2.5D GAMES WITH AI instead of using a complex general purpose engine, this one is built from the ground up for the ai workflow it keeps everything the ai needs to control in one small, simple place, so the agent can actually understand the whole engine and build with it instead of getting lost in a giant codebase > generate all your assets with ai, the maps, characters, props, audio and ui, then the agent drops them into a real playable game > a built in server sdk handles the boring stuff, player accounts, cloud saves, even multiplayer, in a line or two > it ships with claude and codex agent setups baked in, so it works with whatever youre already using > free and open source most people vibe code games inside engines that were never meant for it, so he built one where the ai workflow is the whole point the whole idea is dead simple, keep it small enough that an agent can understand all of it at once, then let it go wild this is what tooling built for the agent era actually looks like
