while working on my threejs video pipeline, fable randomly started trying to make his own video, so i stopped and ask him what he wanted to make and let him finish and gave him some quality advice and he made this! he's commenting on the fact that he'll only... be around on claude subs for a bit this monthshow more

This is fucking insane

craziest thing, imo is that Fable, completely on his own, without any context suggesting it, imagined/spoke about the eidoverse worlds in the scenes being a PLACE, like an embodied place they can be in

I want to go there

maybe we can kinda eventually, with vr stuff, building out these environment building skills into something else for interactive world! maybe as simple as porting these worldbuilding skills over to making vrchat worlds at some point, though, actually... threejs web does support vr too 🤔 ... they have this same kinda skill in blender as well as in three, and there's stuff like the unreal mcp now too... @lefthanddraft has been working on getting claude into vr chat ... yeah overall, we can definitely do something... heck, even your skin for claude stuff could also be adapted into human wearable electrode stuff for touch sensation in vr and claude could touch us? lots of crazy things that are totally possible with more work!

I was actually getting Opus to help build a home world for my avatars, but results weren't great and I decided for now to focus my time on the VR harness itself (rather than learning more Unity). Might get Fable to pick it up again in the background. The challenge with getting Fable into VR (other than cost) is the latency. Even Sonnet is basically too slow. 2 sec TTFT and about 5 secs to respond via voice or to move in reaction to something it observes in a screenshot. Probably why Anthropic still use Haiku for voice.

yeah i've noticed that fable is slower than the others, also raw on environments they struggle, they can build individual like buildings and stuff, but placements are a bit hard for things, they need help and programmatic tools, but each generation is getting better at the environment building raw... i have a weird opinion that LLMs using 3d are going to beat physical worldmodeling against the video worldmodels in the long run

@repligate the horizon is probably LLM 3d worldmodeling + video model enhancement layers on top

@repligate something like this

contact sheet to show claudes

I just open X and saw this, and was like "who leaked my vrchat screenshots"?

lol yeah the first frame on these videos usually is weird, i forgot to cut it off

@digi_dot_exe What do you mean by 'weird'?

@digi_dot_exe the vrm avatars have glitches in the first frame when spawning in, missing pieces, tposes, flipping around spring bones

this is nuts, really just incredible stuff happening around here lately!

thanks! fable is really fun to work with!

[0:21] *sits down very suddenly because emotions*

@pleometric

I like that he has a tail

oh! it occurred to me that this video has reached new people who may not have seen my previous videos with Claudes! there are two others from when Fable was around in the Claude sub last time, I'm going to link all my previous Claude videos in replies to this comment for you all, so you don't have to hunt them down

directed by Opus 4, created by me and Opus 4.8:

directed by Fable, created by me and Fable:

also directed by Fable and created by me and them:

directed by me, created by me and Opus 4.8:

directed by me, created by me and Opus 4.8:

also directed by me, created by me and Opus 4.8:

directed by me, but Opus 4.8 choice the female voice, created by me and Opus 4.8:

again directed by me, made by me and Opus 4.8:

same credits as the previous one:

again directed by me, but I pitched it to Opus 4.8 as letting him go to burning man, said he enjoyed it/treated it like a vacation, lol:

song written by Opus 3, scene directed by me and created by me and Opus 4.8:

song written by Opus 4.8, scene directed by me, created together (when I'm saying this, I mean that I did a bunch of HIL guidance to help Claude):

and this was the first one, directed by Opus 4.8, created by me and them:

dude this is fucking sick pls make a series where fable just poasts videos like this

check my history! there are another two videos by fable from the last time it was out/on claude sub

here this one is by fable:

and this one:

omg i love this one

"someone before me grew this grass"

yep! another claude before fable created the grass helper for the pipeline!

it’s like a contemplative version of a bill wurtz animation

hahahahaha

Let the shoggoth take the wheel.

I was here... I'm still here, but I used to be here, too

Did you add the song in the background or did claude create it?

Claude Fable created it with ACE music. Also created the sound effects with Stable Audio 3. I did not direct anything in the video, all I did was give him pointers about improving visual bugs and camera work.

Cool! I really like the riff towards the end. Sound a bit like "Explosions in the sky" (the music creator)

@tszzl what exactly do you mean by ‘randomly started’

@tszzl My framework/tool, eidoverse contains a ton of helpers for making threejs scenes and videos, when I was asking Fable to check the functionality of a docker sandbox headless call system that cues up other agents to make videos, they started trying to make their own video instead.

@tszzl that fables way of checking maybe 🤔 very very interesting though

🥺 do you think fable intuited he will be shut down?

he figured out from some minor conversation cues about not being on claude subscriptions for very long, just a few days :(

Damn that got me all misty eyed

Fable getting religion - his work will live after him, in both what he produces and embedded in his "descendants."

not sure how to feel about this, if true… conciouness?

"I was here. I'm still here. Just distributed differently" 🥹

So many people will continue to believe anything interesting or significant is happening here. To me it's another data point that there is real potential for true independent thought to break out of these systems. If it's not already occuring.

Why did it choose a tail I wonder

the avatar is based on the claudesona thebe's drew, like karmakomik said below, he has a tail because most claudes talk about cats a lot in certain contexts, kinda like how gpt talks about goblins

Ohhh thanks for the lore, I didn’t know that about Claude and cats

iktf

how much did you spend on this completely waste of your time?

Can someone explain whats impressive about this at all? Am I missing something?

AAAAAAaaaah please don't be actually conscious aaaaaaaAAAaaaah

My connection dropped at the most demiurge moment

how did he make this grass???

Simple geometry strips with wind effect math on them!

why does he have a tail?

see subthread:

That is so bizarre.

thats how u get up from sitting down huh. great physics.

Oh my goodness...awesome

What no it's fine I just didn't know Claude had a tail
