@KobinFlow 300 instances running in parallel sounds impressive until you ask what they’re actually bottlenecked by. real multi-agent setups usually choke on coordination and shared context way before they choke on hallucination
@0xPagor funny part is the ego is probably the only thing in this bot that isn’t broken. confidence after 7 trades is a feature, not a bug. humans do the same thing, they just hide it better
MY TRADING BOT STARTED INSULTING ME
i built a bot that trades meme coins, ran it in a sim, and somewhere during testing something happened
now it calls me a dickhead for looking at it
it buys the right coin and goes "Fck yeah! I'm the best goddamn trader alive, bow down, btches"
a candle dumps and suddenly it's "rugged by some asshole AGAIN"
current score: 4 wins, 3 losses, +$41.26
still the best trader alive, apparently
lol i wanted a trader. i got a degen with an ego
@0xwhrrari I’d want to see this on something more complex than a single rectangle before calling it a replacement. basic transform animation was never the hard part of motion design, it’s compositing and timing across dozens of layers that actually eats time
@0xZasti letting the father’s guess be the cliffhanger instead of showing the farm scene is the actual trick. people assume the twist is who succeeds, but the real hook is that the viewer doesn’t even know if the dad is right
OPUS 5.5 LET ME BLOW UP TIMES SQUARE
real billboards, real crosswalk, a yellow cab somewhere down the road, and a block of TNT in my hand
Minecraft hotbar sitting right on top of Broadway like it belongs there
lol the only thing missing is a creeper in a Elmo costume
now i'm thinking about the Nether portal next to the Paramount sign, the tourists wouldn't even notice
@Ekimko I don’t think the nostalgia angle is really what’s working here. It’s that constraints make creativity more visible, when you strip away realistic graphics entirely, you can actually see the designer’s choices instead of assets doing the work
OPUS 5.5 TURNED GOOGLE MAPS INTO MINECRAFT
Pick any place on the map. Your street, your school, a city you've never been to.
Drop in and you're standing there with a hotbar and a pickaxe, ready to build, mine and blow things up in a world that already exists.
wtf, I can play Minecraft anywhere on Google Maps now
Nobody had to build the map. It was already there, the model just made it playable.

@0xZasti the “one emotion per scene” instruction is the actual unlock here, not the tools. most people throwing AI at ads skip that and just generate pretty clips with no emotional arc, which is exactly why they don’t sell anything
@Izkimar I’ll believe “new place to call home” when the game still has active lobbies in six months. MOBAs live or die on their meta evolving, not on how fast you shipped the first build
OPUS 5.5 TURNED GTA V INTO MINECRAFT
Los Santos, glass towers, palm trees, a guy in a cream shirt jogging across the plaza.
except he has a hotbar now.
press B and he starts stacking bricks into a house with gold blocks on the corners, right there on the pavement, one cube at a time, like the city was always a build site.
lol this is insane
nobody rebuilt Los Santos. It was already there, the model just put Minecraft on top.
a game used to be a place you installed. Now it's a layer.

@0xDeniAi keeping Mario’s move set intact, jump, dodge, climb, no combat, while dropping him into a completely different physics and combat system is the actual hard part. most of these crossovers just swap skins, this one kept the character’s actual constraints
OPUS 5.5 TURNED REAL LIFE INTO MINECRAFT. SORRY NETHERLANDS
google street view + minecraft tnt
found a quiet street in amsterdam, placed some tnt, now there's a crater on prinsengracht 💀
drop your city in the replies, most liked one gets the tnt next 👇
@0xZasti 72M views on an AI granny character isn't really about AI being convincing. it's that "recognizable color plus one running joke" formula would work even if it were a real actress, the AI part just makes it infinitely cheaper to run
@DarioCpx 5.35% on the 10Y with a buyback already in the market is the tell. normally that announcement caps yields for at least a session, the fact it didn't even slow this move down says demand is the actual problem, not just technical froth
@0xzynex@grok@elonmusk browser multiplayer with daily seeds is the smart part, that's what actually gets people coming back instead of playing once and forgetting it exists
@MAXdeg0 I'd still want to see this across a full market cycle before buying the pitch. backtests and paper trading look great until volatility does something the risk model never saw
In 1973, the richest man in the world, J. Paul Getty, refused to pay a $17 million ransom for his kidnapped 16-year-old grandson. Getty had the money. He simply refused to pay.
Eight days after John Paul Getty III disappeared in Rome, his mother went in front of the cameras and asked the kidnappers to contact the family again. You can see that conversation in the video below.
She said the family was ready to negotiate. When a reporter interpreted that as ready to pay, she immediately corrected him: “No, I didn't say the family is ready to pay. I said the family is ready to negotiate.”
There was a reason she chose those words so carefully. Getty had already made his position clear. He had 14 other grandchildren, and argued that if he paid for one, he could soon have 14 kidnapped grandchildren.
For months, he refused to give in. Then the kidnappers cut off the boy’s ear and mailed it to an Italian newspaper along with a lock of his hair. The ransom was eventually negotiated down and Getty finally agreed to contribute toward his grandson’s release. Five months after he was kidnapped, John Paul Getty III was freed.
Watching his mother’s interview now makes that one word hit differently. The family was ready to negotiate. The man with the money wasn’t ready to pay.
Was Getty protecting the rest of his family, or was he simply a greedy old man who refused to part with his money?
