Using Claude to make music videos: it fetches a CC0 C. elegans connectome dataset
anderssandberg · x · 2026-10-18
Oxford AI researcher Anders Sandberg shares how nerdy making music videos with Claude can get: he lets Claude autonomously hunt down datasets. A screenshot shows Claude locating the multilayer C. elegans connectome dataset by Maertens, Schöll and Hövel, verifying its CC0 licence, fetching the download link from Kiel University's repository, downloading it and checking MD5 checksums.
He jokes he may need to give it access to bigger neural networks for later verses.
