    One important difference between animations/videos generated by Opus 5.5 and the stereotypical AI slop videos is that Opus 5.5 is not a video generation model: it generates and iterates the code and renders it, and there are various ways for it to do so.

    The code for the infamous &quot;I&#x27;m upping my p(doom)&quot; video (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8j-hR4fJywU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8j-hR4fJywU) is open-source and uses Processing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JohnHeibel&#x2F;PDoomVideo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;JohnHeibel&#x2F;PDoomVideo

      This one&#x27;s been stuck in my head since yesterday. I just keep thinking about how long this woulda taken in After Effects. So I was experimenting with having Opus 5.5 make these kinda animations in javascript and realized I can get it to export a JSX script for AE. So I can have it take the first swing, then bring it into the tool I actually use.

      Curious about the song - the mp3 in the repo is wildly different from the linked YouTube recording?
