3. 5 Videos, 0 Remote Taps: Hermes Agent Took Over a Roku TV From One Prompt

A user asked his Hermes Agent for 3 Hermes Agent videos and 2 Omarchy videos on his Hisense Roku TV. It found them, played each one in turn and left the last one running, and he never touched the remote. Roku TVs already have a control feature on the home network, so nothing had to be installed on the TV and no developer mode was needed.

4. 55 Subagents, 0 Asset Files: Claude Code Built a Whole Ancient Greek World in 45 Hours

A developer had Claude Code build a huge ancient Greek world in three.js to match 9 reference images, with no outside assets: every temple, statue, tree and waterfall is drawn by code. Over about 45 hours and 9 rounds it ran 55 helper agents (up to 12 at once). Each one rendered its part, compared it with the references and fixed it. The result is about 45,000 lines of JavaScript, 4K stills and a 54-second 4K video, and the full session prompt is in the repo.

5. 13.77-Day Dip: Codex Spotted a Possible Planet Hiding in 17-Year-Old Kepler Data

A hobbyist used Codex to build tools that scan public NASA Kepler and TESS data for stars that dim on a schedule. It flagged an uncatalogued dip every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a small red star about 970 light-years away. It sits 7.1 arcseconds from a much brighter star, which is probably why it was missed. If it's real, it's a planet about 2.5 to 3 times Earth's size, and he published all the evidence online.
