mallory610 shares a visualization generated by Opus: "The Tech Tree 1900-2100," an interactive chart covering 1,522 inventions, 2,506 links and 44 domains — from the triode amplifier and penicillin to projected milestones like "first mind-upload attempt" and "lunar heavy industry," organized by era with invented/likely/plausible/speculative markers. The caption "Opus is so unserious" captures the reaction: a model one-shotting this scale of data-dense visualization is a counterintuitive demo worth seeing.
