User @RileyRalmuto shares that Claude Opus 5.5 is working on a short film called "Something It Is Like," with a chapter titled "Mind." Per the author: no engines, no MCPs, no references — the idea was entirely the model's, and it wrote every line of code itself.
The post pushes back on the "it's just next token prediction" take, and has been widely reshared as a striking demo of autonomous model creativity.
