A viral demo shows a MacBook running Omarchy (DHH's Linux distro) fixing external monitor support for AMD Radeon chips by having the AI point its webcam at its own screen via a mirror to observe the display output and iterate on the fix. The poster remarks it's an agent self-debugging technique 'you can't make up' — letting the machine visually inspect its own screen to resolve driver/config issues.
