Using a ~$5 clock’s photo album to show Claude and Codex limits

A developer used a ~$5 AliExpress clock's photo album feature to display the limits of Claude and Codex. The process involves a Python/Pillow script on a PC that draws a 240x240 picture and uploads it via Wi-Fi to the clock, which then displays the image. This method requires no firmware changes to the clock, but the computer must remain on to facilitate the display of these limits.

This project uniquely uses a low-cost, off-the-shelf device to visualize AI model limitations, unlike typical demonstrations that rely on software interfaces or custom hardware.
