I'm also now using this thread for my programming related things, since that's a form of craft,
from a certain point of view.
Basically I've finally managed to program my first neural net AI. If you dont know what that is, it's basically a form of artificial intelligence, a program that can learn information without the data having to be put piece by piece into the system directly. In it's simplest form, it's basically a statistics engine, something that can take a lot of data and work out the relationship between them all, and make predictions when it's given new data. Such as object recognition which many people use with apps such as Google Lens.
So I have made a simple object recognition AI, one that can recognize handwritten digits (0-9). You give it a bunch of data to learn, and then test it on a separate bunch of new data and see if it has learnt how to recognize the digits.
In my case I got 82% accuracy recognition, so 1 in 5 digits it guessed wrong. But that's pretty cool for data that looks like this:
I actually used my own hand written data because that was easier to work with than downloading other datasets which are available online XD

All it took was a scary bit of math:

And that's it!
Who knows what AI will achieve in the future????
It's amazing to understand just the surface of how they work, and to have produced my own tiny AI from scratch has been a great learning experience.
