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

Interestingly enough, you could read the domain as three separate parts ("echo", "hive" and "ai") and every single one of them somehow reads as AI basically. It's like someone asked an LLM to come up with a name that sounds as much AI as possible, and it put those together.

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: https://youtu.be/-fw4sjopYt4?si=37QDUgVEisdZRmq1

why not! :) I first thought this wouldn'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'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't imagine even the near future

what a time!

This is fun. I love this. Music choice is perfect lol.

thank you! I let opus 5.5 choose the music from a folder of mp3s i have and it matched the scene's dynamism looking at its waveform
