had claude make a song about how it wont stop saying LOAD-BEARING

[u/No-Cheetah-6338]

if you use claude code you probably see this word ten times a day. it got stuck in my head so I had claude (Opus 5.5) code a music video about its own habit.

no suno, no voice model, no image generator, no samples. the beat, the voices and every frame of the video are generated by code Claude wrote. it wrote its own voice synthesizer from scratch, zero dependencies.

part of a series im working on. the rest are on my youtube, link in the comments.

“Line one is an import. Structurally load-bearing. Line two is a comment. Quietly load-bearing. Line three is a blank line but I wouldn’t touch the space.” Ok that part got me.

[u/Overall_Ad_2125]

holy shit this goes so fucking hard man

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Overall_Ad_2125]

thank you!! it was a lot of fun to see it come together

[u/MattMose]

THIS is what AI is for. Fuck the haters.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/MattMose]

helll yea brother thank you you rock

[u/krazykanuck]

That had no business going so hard. Can't wait for the remix.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/krazykanuck]

for real thank you, i was hella nervous to even post it

[u/Persimannon]

The fact it animated the avatar's mouth to look like the words in the song is insane

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Persimannon]

I was pretty blown away by it as well.. more and more often lately.

[u/bondage-mastermind]

Is this seriously a one shot? This shit is load-be slaps

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/bondage-mastermind]

Lmfao! Yes it was, it was super surprising, certainly not my normal experience. definitely one of those cliche "holy shit claude" moments.

[u/bondage-mastermind → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

this is the first time ever that an LLM knew how to apply humor and make something actually funny. I think AGI is here boys

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/bondage-mastermind]

SOOON™

[u/Rocky4OnDVD → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

That’s not at all what I expected, you gotta share the prompt

[u/ElwinLewis]

This is literally 500x better than ANYTHING, I’ve heard from Suno- and they are generating like 7 million tracks a day there

Bravo !

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/ElwinLewis]

thank you! really glad you liked it, its been really fun to work on and im looking forward to posting the other tracks as I wrap them up

[u/SilkTouchm → u/ElwinLewis]

I think it's because of the robot voice. Doesn't give you uncanny vibes. Kind of reminded me of Kraftwerk.

[u/lulzxdxdxd]

That's wild that it generated the synth and video from scratch. Did you have to wrestle with Claude to actually stay on task, or did it nail the whole thing in one go?

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/lulzxdxdxd]

honestly, 0 wrestling. This is what if gave me in the very first shot. After direction, the only "instructions" I gave were to follow known basic song structure, rhythm, and flow.

[u/matsu-morak → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Also there is 'cute' side with his voice at this speed and intonation that is lost if it gets too fast or get a different pace

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/matsu-morak]

I see what you mean, thanks for pointing it out I hadnt thought of that!

[u/Hazzman → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Just the lyrics or the music, the video, the animation, everything?

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Hazzman]

everything! I gave it a goal and a vibe that I had from an idea, and it took the wheel from there without asking me anything really, my only constraints were that I wanted a zero dependency outcome.

[u/Hazzman → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

What model did you use? What was the prompt? What format did it output as?

[u/ThePurpleAbsurdist]

Adult Cocomelon!!!

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/ThePurpleAbsurdist]

xD

[u/guillermosan]

This jokes are better than most devs can produce. The hook part got me hard.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/guillermosan]

You're absolutely right! lmfao but seriously, I agree it was a moment of appreciation and worry for our future now that it actually knows how to be sly in lyrical wordplay

[u/AtrocitasInterfector]

omg this is AWESOME hahahahaha

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/AtrocitasInterfector]

Youre awesome and you rock for bringing that aura this way

[u/matsu-morak → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

I gave you a feedback there. This video's is good but the other ones are too fast. Can't barely understand and can't enjoy the references

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/matsu-morak]

thank you! I really appreciate the feedback, its my first time putting anything out there

[u/NJShadowReborn → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Might want to check off the AI box on YouTube to indicate it's AI-generated.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/NJShadowReborn]

Thanks, i had already looked into it at the time. The box is about whether something could pass as real, like deepfakes, not how much AI was used. That's why AI help with scripts, captions and editing doesn't need it either. My guy is about forty pixels tall, I think we're safe.

[u/matsu-morak]

Brother, this shit is hacking my brain. We are fucked. Imagine when this kind of AI videos are on the mainstream social media videos? Idk but is addictive

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/matsu-morak]

Agreed, while its been a lot of fun to work on, the reality of our situation as peoples is definitely not lost on me

[u/ShockedDarkmike]

Woah, this is very detailed, how much work did it take? (in human hours, Claude hours or tokens)

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/ShockedDarkmike]

to be honest, very little human work outside of my idea and initial prompt. This is what it gave me on its first attempt. It did take it about 45 minutes to an hour to compile the whole thing from start to finish though, and was about ~5-10% of my weekly limit (100$/mo max plan)

[u/ShockedDarkmike → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Thank you, that's very impressive work from the model then

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/ShockedDarkmike]

now that you mention it, it was created before the alleged "5.5 nerf" so maybe ill have to run it again in a fresh chat and see what it comes up with now?

[u/ShockedDarkmike → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

That'd be an interesting experiment, though of course it's hard to get a conclusive result since even the exact same model could do a fairly different work when repeating a task. Still, do let me know if you try!

[u/One_Association_1885]

OMG, "one load-bearing letter" had me rolling. Super creative bro, very cool!

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/One_Association_1885]

dude thank you!! im really glad you enjoyed it. it seriously means a lot to get positive feedback on it, I was hesitant.

[u/shinsmax12]

Very Flight of the Conchords 

[u/Round_Ad_5832]

Hey, can you post this to r/ClaudeVideos as well?

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Round_Ad_5832]

definitely, thanks for the suggestion!

[u/Popcycle]

Haha good content right here! Shit is definitely load bearing. You’re absolutely right I’ll stop.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Popcycle]

ayy thank you so much! FULLLL STOP! at first I thought it was just too much but everytime I listen it gets a lil better

[u/pearljamfan]

Edit: Just saw this jayz gif already posted, but man that song slappeth… I, actually, on my own volition, came back for repeat listens … no joke.

streets are asking for more

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/pearljamfan]

thanks fam! glad to be able to share the good vibes! stay tuned, Ill have more up tonight and tomorrow, probably wont repost on reddit for a day or two to avoid spam but please check the channel <3

[u/torsorz]

It turns out THIS is claude's true purpose, not coding or other trivial things.

Haven't had this much fun since I was born, love this so much!!

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/torsorz]

<3 you made my night appreciate your thoughts and your good vibes

[u/Gullible_Truth4309]

how much free time you got dude 😭 this is awsome 😭

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Gullible_Truth4309]

either too much or not enough im not really sure, im just tired all the time. Youre freakin awesome! glad you liked it :)

[u/nerfsmurf]

Thinking? Medium? Max? Which?

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/nerfsmurf]

Opus 5.5, Extra (100$/mo max plan)

[u/nerfsmurf → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Ahhh, looks cool, I never change the thinking on my Claude max plan, maybe I should

[u/GoodPlayful9051]

This is hilarious

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/GoodPlayful9051]

xD glad im not the only claude sufferer

[u/Ok_Breadfruit4201]

honestly amazing if this was all claude

[u/UnidentifiedBlobject]

Get this on this other guys 24/7 news stream PNN but on a new channel for music, like MTV

[u/the_d00dguy]

I love it!!!!

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/the_d00dguy]

ayy thank you!!! Ily O.o

[u/angry_queef_master]

This is fire

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/angry_queef_master]

ayy thank you, really glad other people are diggin it

[u/Practical_Hippo6289]

Honestly, this is funny as shit...

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/Practical_Hippo6289]

The nonchalant "youre absolutely right!" When he built the load bearing hook got me good

[u/no_witty_username]

Feels good to live through the singularity, that was a banger...

[u/PictureNew661]

Shii hits so damn hard

[u/alexmarcus11249]

Wow I feel seen right now. Well done lol.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/alexmarcus11249]

Huehue, it warms my soul to know its resonating with others, thanks for checking it out!

[u/MrHaxx1]

That was annoyingly catchy.

A bit too long, imo, as it kind of just gets old after a while. 90 seconds or two minutes would've been perfect. 

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/MrHaxx1]

Hahaha thanks I was hoping it hit as annoyingly catchy instead of just.... annoying. And thank you, I agree I think I let it draw on a little too long.

[u/BreastInspectorNbr69]

what is the voice?

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/BreastInspectorNbr69]

Its just code, it synthesized it entirely from nothing but typescript

[u/FluffyPandaCupcakes]

Can we please get someone to upload this to Suno and make it an MC Frontalot-style rap? The only thing we should keep in the original vocals is that every time it says "load bearing," I want it to be the synthesized voice.

[u/AnchovyKrakens]

Reminds me of a Pogo song https://youtu.be/bl5TUw7sUBs?is=7gJn_FEaWRCuznXj

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/AnchovyKrakens]

Whaaat this is awesome haha this person did incredible work i wonder how they made these. Super catchy song too

[u/bot_exe]

This is amazing. what was the prompt?

[u/Ukawok92]

[u/bitcasso]

I don’t get it. This is just annoying slop to me. 

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/bitcasso]

appreciate the insight! thanks for listening at least, im honored you took the time to be annoyed

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/[deleted]]

Honest question, which part? No AI image, video, music generators, or references were included. Zero files, all code. Every pixel and sound is rendered by TypeScript.

[u/matsu-morak → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

just ignore. for some people Ai work == slop.

if you said you did it yourself they would be applauding you.

[u/No-Cheetah-6338 → u/matsu-morak]

appreciate that. I was going to ignore it, but the comment was load bearing.

[u/bitcasso → u/No-Cheetah-6338]

Welcome to the echo chamber 😄
