### some standouts
1. [World of Warcraft AI VoiceOver addon](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/voiceover) - Over 850,000 downloads, adds AI voices to all NPCs in the game. [asmongold using it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP63FzzO8Rg)
2. [kubernetes SoundCloud scraper](https://github.com/TensorBeat/Scraper-NodeJS) and [music generation model](https://github.com/mrthinger/Music-Generator) - Scraped all of SoundCloud to reproduce OpenAI's jukebox paper with modern techniques. Was too expensive to complete training (est. 20-30k)
3. [JunimoHost game server hosting company](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai5VhZrIXIE) - Reverse-engineered Stardew Valley to create a headless server, then strategically purchased and configured servers to cost-effectively host the game for thousands of players on a baremetal kubernetes cluster.
4. [Sophie Search Fashion](https://sophiesearch.fashion/items) - An AI shopping platform made as a gift for one person. It uses reference images to scrape eBay for outfits in the correct size and generates a virtual try-on.
5. [GraphPrompt - Deploy versioned prompts as API endpoints](https://app.graphprompt.ai/)
