This is actually horrifying.
A dead fly just came back as a robot.
Scientists mapped its brain down to individual connections, then rebuilt that wiring inside a machine with cameras for eyes and motors for wings.
No flight code. No behavior script.
They turned it on.
A light moved → it turned its head.
The air shifted → it steadied its wings.
Something dropped → it flinched.
Another fly appeared → it chased it.
Nobody taught it to chase.
The fly has been dead for years.
But somehow, the instinct survived.

Zaccharie Risacher says he doesn’t know why he was traded:
“I feel like I had a good first season. I was told I exceeded expectations. It was really surprising to me, this second season, I didn’t really know what was happening. I also was told the NBA was really competitive and it’s apart of the game. Someday you could be somebody who’s valuable and another day…”

Sunday timelines are undefeated. Between checking the NFL weather to see if Brock Bowers is returning to the field today, stressing out over the Phillies playoff chances, and tracking Corey Heim on the track... I really just need a Publix sub. 🥪
Meanwhile, the rest of the feed is a chaotic mix of Caitriona Balfe, the movie Prisoner, Alina Habba discourse, and people just tweeting 날씨 and météo to figure out what it's like outside. What a weekend.

Opus 5.5 is INSANE
made a Japanese style Boating game, and the result is genuinely soo impressive

the water, scenery, graphics are crazyy good, and all this is running inside a browser
why is this soo pretty 😭
A developer gave Opus 5.5 a $20 budget to autonomously create a 60-second explainer video.
Then forgot to provide the API key.
Instead of stopping, Opus built a local production studio:
• Kokoro-82M for voice
• JavaScript + FluidR3 for music
• Code-generated and CC0 sound effects
• Whisper for audio QA
• Hand-drawn Canvas animations
55 minutes later, it shipped a finished 51-second video.
Additional cost: $0.
The best agent isn’t the one that never hits a failure.
It’s the one that finds another path and keeps shipping.

Prompt:
A tired woman in <image1> in a loose tank top and sleep shorts, slow habitual movement. Slightly smeared eyeliner, bare feet, heavy posture, detached face.
ENVIRONMENT: A cramped cluttered apartment with an unmade mattress, scattered clothes, a narrow hallway, a damp bathroom with dim tile reflections, and a tiny kitchen crowded with dirty dishes and empty bottles. Warm practical lamps mix with sickly green neon leaking through blinds and door glass, turning the rooms into a humid late-night maze.
MOOD: Detached routine turns quietly uncanny, as if an unseen presence is floating above her and waiting for her to notice.
COLOR LOGIC: Matrix Green Look
CAMERA: POV overhead follow in a strict bird's eye view, locked directly above the top of her head at all times, perfectly centered over her body from start to finish, floating smoothly with no shake, tilt, angle drift, or side offset, passing through ceilings and door frames as one uninterrupted camera event. 24mm wide, digital clean look, locked overhead tracking package throughout.
SCENE:
She wakes on the mattress. Sits up under the lens.
Still centered under the lens, reaches to the floor. Picks up the cigarette and lighter. Places the cigarette between her lips. Lights it. Drops the lighter on the mattress. Stands up with the cigarette still with her.
Under the same overhead lock, crosses the cluttered room.
The lens tracks directly above her into the narrow hallway. Enters the bathroom.
Still pinned overhead, keeps the cigarette in her right hand. Extends that arm away from the running water. Leans on the sink. Turns on the tap with her left hand. Splashes water onto her face with her left hand.
The overhead follow carries her back out of the bathroom into the hallway. Moves along the hallway past the bathroom door. Turns into the tiny kitchen.
Still centered under the camera, keeps the cigarette with her. Reaches across the dirty dishes with her free hand. Picks up a glass from the counter.
Stops exactly under the lens. Holds the cigarette in her right hand and the glass in her left hand.
The lens stays fixed above her. Freezes. Looks right. Looks left. Takes a drag from the cigarette. Snaps her head straight up into the lens. Blows smoke toward the camera. Locks eye contact.
SFX: lighter flick, inhale, faint city hum, refrigerator buzz, soft bare footsteps, water run. Sodium amber particles, toxic green neon reflect off tile, smoke, bottles, and damp surface.

A cinematic 30-second action sequence in a misty Japanese wetland. An orange tabby cat with a white chest, white paws, and intense green-gold eyes wears a traditional woven straw conical kasa hat and a small katana strapped diagonally across its back with a leather harness. A thin stalk of dry reed hangs from its mouth like a toothpick. Overcast gray sky, dense tall beige reeds, moss-covered rocks, damp earth, light fog, muted earthy palette, filmic grain, shallow depth of field, motion blur on fast movement.
Opening close-up: the cat sits in profile on a mossy rock, hat low over its eyes, looking off to the side. It slowly turns its head to face the camera with a calm, knowing stare.
Cut to a tracking shot as the cat walks then sprints toward camera from behind a large mossy boulder, hat bouncing, tail up, reeds parting.
Two black-clad ninjas in full face-covering outfits appear in the reeds. The cat weaves between them at high speed, sword flashing, kicking up dirt and leaves. Low-angle ground-level shots with heavy motion blur as the cat dashes past.
The cat drops low and sprints through a dense bamboo-like reed tunnel, hat almost covering its face, then bursts out and leaps high into the air, body stretched, sword on its back, spinning against the gray sky.
Mid-air flips and corkscrew jumps through tall swaying reeds. One shot from below as the cat silhouettes against the overcast sky. Another as it twists and lands rolling on the wet grass.
A ninja swings a katana; the cat dodges in mid-air, hat flying slightly off-center. Quick cuts of the cat running, sliding, leaping again.
The cat soars high one last time and lands on the bow of a small dark wooden rowboat floating on a still, misty lake. Ripples spread. Several ninjas leap from the reed bank toward the boat in dramatic slow-motion, swords drawn, bodies mid-jump.
The cat lands in a low, wide stance on the wet wooden planks, front paws planted, staring straight into the camera. Hat slightly tilted. It then walks slowly and confidently forward along the center of the boat toward the lens, sword still on its back, expression unreadable and slightly menacing. Background reeds and fogged water. Distant ninjas splash or fall behind it.
Cinematic camera work throughout: mix of locked-off portraits, low tracking shots, handheld chase energy, dramatic low angles, overhead flips, and a final slow push-in on the cat’s face. Natural overcast lighting, soft fog, wet surfaces, photorealistic fur and fabric texture, 24fps film look, slightly desaturated, epic yet slightly absurd tone. No dialogue, only wind, rustling reeds, splashes, and distant sword sounds.

my first Opus 5.5 vibecoded Three.js 3D experience.
My God, Opus is creative.
I made a road that forgets which way is down.
It folds 90° up a yellow wall, runs upside down across the ceiling, then turns into sheet music. Steer through the notes and each street plays its own melody.
Watercolour. Ink. A radio on the roof.
Just vibes, code, and a very confused road.

I'm bad at online grocery shopping, but if there's an online supermarket where you can walk around the inside of the supermarket in 3D and shop, I feel like I could manage that.
Oh no, freaking out!!!!
Got goosebumps!! lol
Opus5.5's capabilities are insanely impressive!!
I asked it to make a Tokyo last train map, and it nailed it on the first try!!
I turned it into an actual website, so please check it out and give it a try!
I'd be thrilled if you share your thoughts or quote it!!
I came up with this new animation style today, mixing illustration with live action, and I’m honestly loving how it turned out.
This little gem is going straight to my subscribers.
