CRUEL AGENT THESIS

this was not how I expected to find myself inside the setting of Evangelion

closer?

「おめでとう」 pilot @tszzl, loom @repligate, ecology @deepfates, sydney @Ainiwaffles, lobster @steipete, button @kevinroose/@CaseyNewton & many more - tag if u spot prev.

I'd watch the fuck out of an anime inspired by NGE except it is shoggoth instead of angels, and paperclips instead of orange juice

cool and off putting

I'm out of the loops, are these Evangelion-inspired clips also created by Opus 5.5 somehow or not at all?

- direction: @claudeai Opus 5.5 - AD: @OpenAI Codex - production: @openclaw - animation: @grok Imagine - PA: @Muse - pre-pro: GPT-Image-2.5 - DP: GPT-6 Astra - key grip: GPT-6 Luna - post-pro: Opus 5.5 - 2D VFX: @BytePlusGlobal - craft services: @replicate - 3D VFX: @threejs - edits: @FFmpeg - inspo: @donaldjewkes, @pleometric - 原作: 庵野秀明, 高橋洋子, 佐藤英敏, 鷺巣詩郎, 及川眠子, ガイナックス most credits r also in video 😌

very interesting - what does this flow actually look like in practice? I assume opus is generating something like a shot list, the image models create reference frames, get critqued by human-in-the-loop and/or the vision models, grok/bytedance then animate and ffmpeg assembles the full cut, then there's some kind of feedback cycle with opus? great animation, thanks for sharing

started noodling w/ concept art in Codex while Opus mapped the Eva opening shot-by-shot. codex made & revised boards, OpenClaw ran media queues via oAuth with a skill to monitor image hygiene (gpt-img gets crusty after 2 rounds) Grok did 95% of the motion, seedance helped the finale … finalize. Opus ran code & FFmpeg for titles, composites, cuts, and final color grading to pull toward EoE’s look; halation & grain. i had codex & claude take turns steering each other via computer use on my mac mini which is probably inefficient/inadvisable but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ was funny to see ‘em sometimes bicker tbh i mostly gave feedback via quick notes. like a studio head?? ~ vvvv different from Jan TPOT video which involved lots of storyboarding / regeneration & final edits by hand. is this … instrumental convergence???? 💁🏻‍♂️🦋 (it’s not, lol, it’s middle mgmt)

@ViktorHugo667 @claudeai @OpenAI @openclaw @grok @Muse @BytePlusGlobal @replicate @threejs Super cool, thanks for sharing. This is one of the more novel approaches; I get the feeling most of the videos on the TL are Opus writing frame-by-frame JS code + ffmpeg-mixing in music.

yeah def; some of them go ham on three.js and others seem to rig up sparse generated images with flash style bones thery’re using the tools avail to them! Codex knows it has img gen via oAuth but will be shy about it unless you explicitly ask it to be liberal about usage ditto Grok Imagine - when i reminded we have (semi?)unmetered access via OpenClaw oAuth, Codex (and Opus by extension) lit lit up like an xmas tree

no Mira Moe-rati?

Instant follow. My expectations were BTFO'd. Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of those legendary 90's anime from my childhood. I memorized the theme song for karaoke. This is also the worst the technology will ever be and it's already outstanding.

My mind EXPLODED when I saw @lumpenspace here. Amazing.

let's start a fundraiser to turn the entire trilogy into this epic epoch 😭

@abelian_soup @pleometric

what is this timeline

instant retrograde ejaculation

type the vaguepost, roon or logan will have to do it again

Was that jd Vance

it was

Who told him about Lilith

Amazing!

@dioscuri Love the Sydney reference in there 😍

This is absolutely brilliant

lol

I asked my wife, in Japan, who said the video sounded like the young man wants to compete with, or accelerate like, the US AI stars portrayed there, and the video might refer to a known Manga. I asked Gemini about Cruel Agent Thesis and got this response:

💯

Beautiful.

Was that roon 🤣

Can you give me a short (Tweet-sized) Japanese language text description for sharing this video? [I can't translate the spoken Nihongo myself.]

u mean translate the credits in the video, the (original, unaltered!) audio from 高橋洋子, or write a japanese language description of the events of the vid?

English, actually, would be fine. I can translate. Just some catchy overview, intro, history -- or quotes or refrains from the video, that evokes the vision or story of the vid! I have a large Japanese AI Accel audience I would like to share it with, including my nephew!

me rewatching again and again to catch 0.5s of @Aella_Girl screentime

Brillant! Thanks for creating it.

this is soo cool.. would love a series to watch 👀

I love this
