One prompt spawns a 1M-nanobot GPU swarm that morphs into any shape at 60fps

Developer @chrisjdimarco calls this one of the craziest things he's built with AI: a swarm of 1,048,576 simulated nanobots that coordinate and morph into any picked form — a hand, whale, rocket, or DNA helix.
The AI (Anthropic's Fable 5.2) designed the bot first — a 3.4mm, 14-sided body with latch pads and light emitters — then the room, then the swarm. Every bot is simulated on the GPU; when a new form is chosen, the old one peels apart in a wave, bots fly to their slots, and the new shape grows from a single seed point.
Built with one prompt and Three.js, running at 60fps with 1M bots and scaling up to 4.2M.
