Someone used Claude Opus 5.5 to produce an 18-minute explainer video essay, "How Bombs Kill" — the entire production was 3 minutes of rambling a blog idea into the prompt field, costing roughly $5 in API calls, with no diffusion model involved.
- Afinetheorem calls this "code up a video" capability wild and unexpected, seeing it as further evidence of the general-purpose "G in AGI" pattern where LLM capabilities keep emerging where nobody anticipated them
- The result is a fully formed video essay, pointing to a new workflow for LLM-driven media production
