    Slop, if you hadn’t guessed by the .ai domain.

      this took a lot of interesting ideas coming together tho Opus 5.5 is instructed to use grok cli to generate the images, then review them and then extract the elements (nearly 100 of them) then combining them in a single scene in layers + picking an mp3 from a folder and matching the scenes dynamisms to the file's waveform etc. i think it is pretty cool :)

      I like it cuz it is my idea, but I am also very impressed wiht opus being able to coordinate all of this

        I can understand how you might feel that way. this was the name of one of the first text to image apps I built 4 years ago with one of world's first auto prompt enhancement with a fine tuned currie model

        then I changed course but the name stayed :) here is the original video from 4 years ago about my app: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;-fw4sjopYt4?si=37QDUgVEisdZRmq1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;-fw4sjopYt4?si=37QDUgVEisdZRmq1

    why
    1. echohive42 · · focus · HN ↗
      why not! :) I first thought this wouldn&#x27;t have been possible actually but here we are :) Opus used grok cli to generate the images too. a lot of coordination work

    cool concept, whats especially interesting is that as models get better, we&#x27;ll get much more interactive and detailed versions of these.

      thank you! yeah that was one thing I was struck by that so much is possible now and can&#x27;t imagine even the near future

      what a time!

    This is fun. I love this. Music choice is perfect lol.
    1. echohive42 · · focus · HN ↗
      thank you! I let opus 5.5 choose the music from a folder of mp3s i have and it matched the scene&#x27;s dynamism looking at its waveform

    I don&#x27;t understand why this was flagged.

    Nice job. Left you an upvote.

      Because stuff like this isn&#x27;t particularly impressive to HN readers.

      Deharshing this a bit, it&#x27;s getting to the point where we can all make this with a little prompting. It&#x27;s like when I one-shorted a cool SPA version of Dope Wars. I could have shared it, but anyone could have built the same thing with a one-sentence prompt.

      1. Ferdev · · focus · HN ↗
        Yeah, but the hard part is not the prompting, is coming up with the idea. I think the concept is interesting and well done. I don&#x27;t care if it was done with AI or with an army of leprechaun coders.
        1. echohive42 · · focus · HN ↗
          hard part being the ideation is very true. i struggle with this all the time. even meditate on it for hours. but I think it is an important muscle to practice these days

        Flagging is for submissions that violate hn guidelines. Not for things you deem unimpressive.
        1. beej71 · · focus · HN ↗
          For the record, I didn&#x27;t flag this. But, yes, it&#x27;s not about impressive so much as it is about things that are interesting to hacker types.

      thank you very much. I was very dismayed by the flag but I am glad you enjoyed it
