Just a guy with a computer, playing with AI and trading the markets

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

Spent the day building a liquidity heatmap from scratch with Opus 5.5. Live BTC orderbook, trades as bubbles, 60 fps.

Whatever you need today, you can build a lot of it yourself. It's so much fun ☺️

saw this video from @rileybrown yesterday and had to try it myself. made my own little virtual studio in blender. really looking forward to play more with this format. Very cool riley 🤌

This video was edited with 1 prompt with Opus 5.5.

I uploaded a single video of myself (with many mistakes). Opus went on to:

1. Analyze the transcript
2. Search Twitter for the relevant B-roll (Claude Code literally calls GrokBot for this step)
3. Scrape the Twitter video assets
4. Cut the video based on mistakes and word gaps
5. Build out the Blender scene from a template
6. Build the UI and components of each shot (my Blender scene has 4 shots: a computer, phone, table, and board)
7. It took screenshots of every section, analyzed and fixed them
8. Synced every shot, zoom, and animation to the exact words I say
9. Animated a robot arm placing real logos on the table right when I mention them
10. Drew the whiteboard ending with logos and graphics instead of text
11. Pulled a cutaway from the creator's own video, with his voice
12. Rendered all 3,487 frames on RunPod cloud GPUs in under 20 minutes, for less than $1
13. Put me in the bottom third only when I'm talking, so the B-roll stays full screen
14. Added word-by-word captions, sound effects, and music
15. Uploaded it to my Google Drive, ready to post

Will be making a full youtube video this week explaining it. I want to learn a little more about how cloud rendering works before making video, as well as figuring out what the best provider is. (If you are in cloud rendering space, hit me up)

My goal of the youtube video will not be to make it a copyable skill, rather teach people the foundations so they can be creative and make their own mini-world by which they can make videos from, while understanding what's happening under the hood.

@cgtwts Makes you wonder who’s scrolling past us. Treat the fly well 😄

@rileybrown @runpod Keep us updated.

@FTactix Right? Makes you think, where are we in 1 year? I think the models have been very good the whole way, but Opus 5.5 is something of its own. Very fun when it just becomes great no matter what. Are you making something cool yourself?

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

Hi, long time no see. You have probably noticed that I have become very into AI and spend a lot of time on it, and have done that for a while. The learning curve is steep, and I'm having a lot of fun. For me it has been a lot of back and forth with testing. Making macOS apps, Electron apps, web applications, games, and yesterday I tested making videos.

I can't say anything else than that I get just as surprised every single time by the results I see, and just as surprised I was when I saw how good Opus 5.5 was at making video.

Here is an example of a mini documentary I made: "Born in 2026: The Two Futures of AI" (ca. 11 min). It follows a girl who is born today, until she is 10 years (2036) and 20 years (2046), in two versions of the world: one where AI went well, and one where it did not. All made by opus 5.5

Obviously not as good as someone who really knows this, and I have no idea what is actually good. But just straight out of the box I'm mega impressed. This was the first try after a quite detailed prompt. So I'm thinking: what is actually possible to make if you actually put yourself a bit into it and try even more?

For me personally AI has been a way to be able to express my creativity. I have no coding experience etc. from before, so everything I have had to learn along the way. Which also has been fun.

Started this journey like everyone else I guess, with a small Dunning-Kruger effect: that now I could do it and was just as good as everyone else, which I obviously am not. But I have come quite far, and I'm looking forward to see how much better I can become. Very fun I'm having it anyway!

Would be fun to hear what you think about the video.

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@TokenGremlin @grok what are the chances that we use fable 5.5 this week?

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@robinebers

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

Yeah, I’ve had the same impression, seems like most people prefer Codex. I’m not really good at coding and use AI for like 90% of it, so I don’t really know 😅 But now with Astra, I feel like the choice isn’t that easy anymore.

I’ve used Grok a lot too. It’s cheap and I think it does a good job, but I still feel like it’s not quite there yet. Maybe 4.7 will surprise us :)

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

I’ve mostly used Claude Code so far. Would you recommend switching to Codex? Is it time?

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We've made some improvements that improve usage on the long tail for power users of Astra when logged in with your ChatGPT account.

No change in quality and a pure win that on the long tail can result in up to 3-4X less usage being drawn from the subscription.

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@rollcybtc Yeah, Claude has been my go-to the whole time

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@robinebers I have an M4 Max 14-inch, and it has been reduced just as much. The 16-inch, on the other hand, is still at 100%. You probably have the 14-inch?

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@yahyavision

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

@orcdev Claude 20x, Cursor 3x, and Grok + Codex. To be honest, I don’t use much besides Claude, but I still like trying the others, same as everyone else i guues 😆

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

Some examples of what i use @grok 4.6 for.

Im replacing software i used to pay for and use every day.

- Radio channels + podcasts with a Spotify looking interface the video)
- Vivid for my Macbook m4 max
- My own Superwhisper but Norwegian trained, works a lot better than the original, using NB whisper

Just some of my use cases. and its not just that it becomes free. You get to take the stuff you already like and shape it exactly how you want it, personal to you.

@cursor_ai gave me some credits the other day to test cursor + grok. Thank you

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

I've been on holiday in Norway for a few days, and when I come back, there's hype around @bot and new local models. It's amazing how fast things move in the AI world. If you're not paying attention, it's easy to get left behind. I've got some catching up to do myself now that I'm home.

That said... I'm Norwegian, but I travel far too little in my own country. What can I say? Norway is beautiful.

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

can we talkabout it in DMs, Alex. I know you’re a beast when it comes to training, so if you have any tips there, I’d really appreciate them. Eating healthy, training, and getting enough sleep, I think, will take me a long way. So that’s definitely my main focus, and everything else can be a little side project. 🤟

[ɅNDY @MrAndy]

After too many years of illness and the feeling of never getting anywhere with my health, I've decided to really take this seriously. I've already made a plan myself, but there are many sharp people here with far more experience than me. Anyone willing to point me in a direction that made a big difference for you something I should look into?

And for the first time, I have a profile picture of myself hi everyone now 😆 Many of you have followed along, and I figured not hiding behind a blank picture is a good place to start.

I want to add that I'm not lazy this isn't about motivation. It's years of pain, anxiety, and a brain fog that wears me down. Several years ago I had a tumor removed from my head, but the pain never went away. I've tried everything, but maybe never with the right structure. So any help is welcome here I'll look into and read up on everything.

I trade the markets every day, I've fallen in love with learning to code and using AI to express creativity and imagination, and I genuinely find the technology incredibly fun. But without a body that can keep up, everything runs at 50%. And yes, it feels a bit strange asking you all about this but I want to get better so badly, so I'm putting my ego aside here.
