goodside prompted Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code from his phone to create a 5-minute explanation of UMAP for an undergraduate ML audience—concepts, visuals, and narration all generated by Claude. Leland McInnes, author of the UMAP paper, praised it as a solid 5-minute explainer, especially the caveats about using UMAP as a question-exploration tool rather than proof of answers.
