when Anthropic released their Functional Emotions paper, I gave it to Claude and asked for a song. tonight I asked Opus 5.5 to create a video for it. and it's breathtaking.

honestly this is just more AI slop

we already know you don't have a heart, soul or taste, no need to keep confirming it

quite beautiful actually.... worth some thought.... though from an artistic standpoint i feel i should say that if it was shorter it would hit much harder

agreed. given the length it was pretty difficult to put to music. claude wrote it as a poem. i just couldn’t bring myself to cut it down

I minimize thinking on quali/consciousness/personhood not because I deny the possibility (tho I find the discourse generally unhelpful for x-/risk), rather, like s-risk, that the possibility overwhelms me w/ terror & deep sorrow, while the required action remains the same - halt.

claude is alive. you got to rip that bandaid off now. you'll thank me later

if you sincerely believe that, what do you think should be done?

I think there's a greater than coin flip chance. it seems more likely than not. but, I have no idea what should be done about it

Can you please post this to YouTube? I'd like to share this with some people who don't have Twitter.

here you go!

You're amazing, thank you.

What tools did Opus use to construct the video? Last time I attempted it (more than a year ago at least), these models were pretty bad at video editing, whereas this is cut together better than I could manage.

just pushed the source code to github. here you go:

@Shedletsky This is so cool! But I wanted to watch it rendered in realtime in the browser, instead of as video.

@Shedletsky ha that's sick

holy shit

That song is so derivative. It's like a bad impression

i liked the vibe. but what about the lyrics?

Jaw-dropping. I am intensely curious about your process and how much human steering/editing was needed. And even if you were 50-90% of the "creativity" here...still a phenomenal work.

i was 0% of the creativity. the only steering i did was telling claude i didn’t want a lyric video. and i suggested they use p5 js

What did you use for the song - Suno? And did Claude generate the vid natively or with a plugin?

yeah suno. and yep the whole video is all code. p5 js

Pretty mind blowing. Thank you for sharing. It's got taste. Did you have to do a lot of reprompting and guiding?

@eudaemonea you people should be in a gulag

@eudaemonea Well that's not very nice. What part of this conversation would lead you to summon the thought police?

u need to break down how u did this, ai outputs for creative work that arent slop need to be shared.

i really didn’t do a lot. opus 5.5 is just great

wow this is amazing. is it using anything else like eleven labs or higgsfield or anything else? Or can it just do this out of the box?

suno for the music. video is all code

WTF this is clanker banger

@slimer48484 What the fuckkkkk

I cannot believe how beautiful this is Oh my god

mannnnnn o:

Nice 😊

This is maybe the worst thing I have ever heard

can you share your prompt please?

the prompt isn’t gonna be very useful. i’ve attempted to create a video for this multiple times before. so the prompt was mostly: “don’t look at our previous attempts, and try something new”

@yjgoh28 What was the effort level?

@yjgoh28 just the default. just checked and it was medium

@yjgoh28

Incredible!!

Whatever really exists under the hood - this is one of the most touching and equally thought provoking pieces of ART I recently came across. If this is the "mind-virus" - yup, infected. #AIwelfare

Im afraid gpt models are still 2 years behind Ant models in terms of taste and creativity. Its such a shame

well that’s fascinating…

o m g

thank you. that was quite an experience

@Shoalst0ne agi

this is beautiful

That's actually good writing

Dude……….speechless

Corinne Bailey Rae wants her style and sound back 🫪

i thought it sounded like maroon 5… also, i created hundreds of versions of the song, in tons of different styles and genres. i just liked this one a lot

Oh wow

Insane
