MIT researcher: Opus 5.5 built an interactive JS slide deck for a 15-minute talk

MIT researcher davidbau chimed in on the discussion about AI reshaping academic presentations: needing to cram several interlinked complex ideas into a 15-minute talk yesterday, he had Opus 5.5 assemble an interactive JavaScript slide deck, and judged the quality "well beyond what I could have previously done."
This extends ALashkaripour's observation that frontier models (Opus 5.5 and Astra) represent a step change in presentation and visualization — and that the traditional LaTeX/Beamer format may soon be superseded by model-generated interactive slides.
