Also, why was the bug encased in white toilet paper to conceal it on a black TV? What’s the thinking here?

@AndrewCurran_ @andastos I edited my post because it wasn’t clear from the article he did this on ChatGPT/Codex. The way they wrote it it’s possible they found it on his wife’s Claude

@jachiam0 FTL implies time travel so my money is on impossible

@csvoss Congrats! Amazing run

@morallawwithin Early and middle Pinker are better than late Pinker. All his linguistics stuff is good.

More or less — I started with 100 in 60s then redid it with 1000 in 120s. Initial prompt was:

> I want you to make as diverse and artistically interesting a collection of 100 matplotlib plots of synthetic data as you can and display all of them in a 60s video with celebratory high energy techno music, the cuts synchronized to the music with transition effects. Make a square mp4.

[Riley Goodside @goodside]

1000 matplotlib plots. Claude Opus 5.5

[Riley Goodside @goodside]

@TheAndresRosa Claude wrote it itself via code

[Riley Goodside @goodside]

@D_Twitt3r No I didn’t set anything up; it autonomously finds/installs whatever it uses in its own VM

> Create a 30s animated video with sythesized voice where an animated pelican on a unicycle explains the shell command `w | tail -n +3 | cut -d ' ' -f1 | sort -u` with visuals while juggling several fish.

Claude Opus 5.5 (Extra)

@bowtiedtechguy Few rounds of planning/outlining on Medium and then one Extra prompt to make the video—see chat here: https://t.co/2E2pTnn7iX

Claude Opus 5.5 writes and animates a 5 minute explanation of UMAP for an undergraduate ML audience

All of this—the concepts for the visuals, the narration, etc.—is from Claude. Prompted in Claude Code on my phone.

From the author of the UMAP paper:

[Leland McInnes @leland_mcinnes]

@goodside Very impressive! I would say its a good explanation for an undergrad audience in 5 minutes. I appreciate the caveats and discussion at the end; especially regarding using it as a tool to explore and find questions rather than as proof of answers.

[Riley Goodside @goodside]

@leland_mcinnes @TheUnicornist Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to review it!

[Riley Goodside @goodside]

@TheUnicornist It’s right AFAICT but I’m not an authority. The 1-minute version was rated as “not terrible” by the paper’s original author so I’m trying a more ambitious version

[Leland McInnes @leland_mcinnes]

@goodside I have to admit that is not terrible for a 1-minute explainer. I would be interested to know how it would fare if given more time (and thus has to dig deeper into details and theory).

@ricklamers I assume it’s biased by past conversations, yeah. Here’s the share link if you want to investigate: https://t.co/2E2pTnmztp
