you and me? we're both assholes, and we're both gonna prove it.

@grok can you please visit the story of the jellyfish UFO in alaska, and separate fact from speculation?

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@Javjavjp @alifarhat79 Bold of you to assume they haven't

@chetanankola @bcherny @ClaudeDevs You hear that? Somebody sponsor this mf!

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@claudeai @kevin_t_ngo Total D2C token cost to produce this demo, please?

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@ExactlyJosh Executives when the dev did it in 1/100th the time, because AI:

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@apekshik That's impressive as hell. I'm thinking of ripping some demos with Blender for the hell of it if the economics hold.

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

How much did the Anthropic tokens cost to produce this animation with this tool chain?

[apek @apekshik]

UE5.9 + Fable 5.2 are a cracked combo when you pair them with good art direction.

Built this scene to test out a bunch of features as i'm moving more of my work into UE5.

It's a bit more of a hassle to set things up compared to threejs but the results are worth it for sure.

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

THIS is how you market your animations. Idgaf about the result if you're not willing to show your homework and say what the direct token cost was.

GPT-6 Astra really spent $93 and 23 minutes building a snow train that looks like Minecraft hired a railway engineer from 2009 😭

Meanwhile Fable 5.2 built an entire cinematic steam locomotive plowing through a snowy forest for just $6 in 2 minutes

Same prompt, 4 AI workflows

The winter railway disaster report ❄️💀

🥇 Fable 5.2 → $6 / 2 min
🥈 Opus 5.5 → $24 / 7 min
🥉 Kimi K3.1 → $58 / 16 min
💀 GPT-6 Astra → $93 / 23 min

Fable’s displayed cost was 15.5x lower and its time was 11.5x shorter than Astra’s

And somehow the $6 version has the detailed locomotive, massive steam clouds and golden winter lighting you’d expect from a Hollywood movie

Meanwhile Astra spent $93 turning a historic steam engine into a LEGO set that nobody asked for 😭

Imagine paying 15x more just to unlock Minecraft’s winter railway DLC 💀

@kgauravnm Bro shhhhhhhhhhhh

[Keunhong Park @KeunhongP]

🚨 This was NOT made by Fable 5.2.

No LLM. No prompts. No tokens. No GPU. Just a single-pass, full-spectrum light transport solver — quietly computing one sample per photon.

Here's the kicker: it rendered in 1/120th of a second. On a device I also use to order burritos.

The smoking gun? Look at the foil. That's not a shader — that's a candy wrapper I ate the contents of.

This isn't just an image. It's a wake-up call. The engine has been running for 13.8 billion years without a crash — and nobody is talking about it.

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@apekshik Yeah, it's simple: you get ppl to pay you money for them 🪄

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@droidbuilds This actually needs to be way bigger news. If you can make the model only put tokens into tool use, and damn the chat responses entirely...

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@the_codewala Weird flex, but okay

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@vib3coded To help Anthropic pretend like they're going to recoup R&D. Next question?

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@kgauravnm These Fable animations are batshit, for sure. If this is token spend that's being funded somehow, and a lone wolf dev can't do this without $2500 to throw at Claude, that's more important information than how pretty the demo is, in my opinion.

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

Mf YOLOing their life savings into Fable animations like it's BTC or some shit

Yeah, anybody can do anything now with enough cash

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

No story without what the Anthropic model cost was to produce all this. That number belongs above the fold every single time.

[Jonah Nowhere @JonahNull1]

@rileybrown The rendering was less than $10, but how much did it cost for all that token output?
