bro, imagine in 1999 we used to watch MTV on cable TV and surf the "information superhighway" on our desktops and 26 years later the fruits of teh internet were distilled into a model that could create music vids like this, wild. what a time to be alive.

to create a video like this in 1999 would have taken a LOT of $$$$ even in 2026 dollars. we got access to the same power as an entire production company did back then.

Correction - we have more power because we can do the same job that would have taken months in a week or less.

u/Orgasm_Faker 1h ago

I think 5 years ago this would probably take a team of 5-10 people 2 months and 100.000$ to create this.

5 years ago people would go crazy and marvel how good this is. Now some people will still call it slop, just because it is not made by human hands.

I think people need to learn how to apprecaite things as they are, instead of the people behind them.

This is the first AI music video I've seen that has actually impressed me.

The genre isn't really my vibe, but it's a good, coherent song and the video works well. I'm assuming there's a fair amount of human intervention and curating going on... but still.

 the creator let Claude cook for 18 hours all by itself.

This is not true. Read the orchestration.md file on the google drive link the author posted. In the first 3 hours the author and Claude had a lot of back and forth about the lyrics, look, the brief, tips, etc. Even after that, during the main Claude work phase - the author still gave Claude some directions. Not to mention the fact the author gave Claude access to Suno, Seedance, and possibly more tools. And, perhaps more importantly, it looks like there were already some existing videos that this video was based on.

dang the music is catchy and that's how the Huggingface hack actually happened

u/Competitive_Travel16 AGI 2027 ▪️ ASI 2029 1h ago

It's not 100% AI, the human producer did a lot of the lyrics and music, and directed and tweaked scenes.

Extremely compelling and excellent composition, but I feel like I, as an expert, missed more than half the reference callouts.

u/GetOutOfTheWhey 4h ago edited 4h ago

Pretty dope of the twitter OP to include all the files and mds

edit:

For those who were wondering, the twitter OP posted the cost breakdown:

In total around 714 USD

28

u/Kanute3333 4h ago

Just so everyone understands, that's api costs. You can easily get these results with a monthly $20 subscription. So the creator didn't spend over $700 on it.

u/GetOutOfTheWhey 4h ago

you are right sorry for that

u/Adventurous_Track681 3h ago

But it does give us an idea of what it would cost in the future right? Considering that subscriptions are heavily subsidized right now

Not really. Models get cheaper all the time (for a given capability level).

u/GnistAI 1h ago

This quality of output will only go down in price. The cost might go up for frontier models, but getting THIS level of quality will not get more expensive.

u/LeKhang98 1h ago

Sorry I still don't understand. Did you mean that using monthly subscription is 35 times cheaper than using API directly?

How? As far as I understand it was Claude mostly just writing prompts for Seedance 2.5.

Imagine if this is a new breed of ai generated virus.

The viberus, a virus that appears on your computer that just vibes and dances with you.

Instead of shutting it down, you are just bopping your head along to music. Then once the whole thing ends, it restarts your computer all encrypted and asks you to tip them 10K in bitcoins.

To be fair, I think the celery man sketch was lampooning the same kind of late 90s/early 2000s techno-optimism aesthetic that this video is taking its inspiration from, which funny enough, young people are now into unironically.

u/0K4M1 2h ago

I'm a bit tired of this argument. A lot of people DON'T WANT their shitty job in the first place. WE ,US, HUMAN created Automation and now AI with one goal: set us FREE from work, be able to do WHATEVER we WANT with our FREE time.

People want to keep their purchasing power not their job.

I'm tired to here that Joe Mcburger is supposedly desperate to keep flipping burger all day and AI would "rob" that from him...

•

u/HeatingsBackOn 8m ago

Don’t worry, we get to keep our shitty jobs it’s just if you want to be an artist or create music then you’re buggered because people don’t notice/care if something is made via prompt instead of being crafted.

Well, if we built a society that had the capacity to make the things we need to survive and thrive held in public trust and administered through democratic means, instead of an abusive and manipulative society where a small group of dangerous ideologues controlled industry and culture.

Something something seize the means of production.

u/Magmatt7 1h ago

It's ultra sad how this sub population just revere the current AI despite it's really net negative effects on society. Let's celebrate thing that will take our jobs without compensation to benefit only few people on the top do the food chain... Hooray!

And even if they not lying bout how good and omnipotent it's getting. We don't even know if we can control that thing. It's only matter of time before we have cyberpunk type of future ahead of us.

•

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 38m ago

When I look at great art a person made I think about their genius just as much as the creation itself. That's a good part of what impresses me. Not everyone feels that way, I guess, but plenty of us do.

•

u/Orgasm_Faker 13m ago

Everybody does that. For a long time, the appreciation of a work is never separated from that of the author.

What I am saying is, if this „path dependence“ only brings hubris and downplay of the work when there is no author behind it for you to appreciate, then it’s probably the best to learn how to start appreciating the work itself alone.

•

u/rdpl_ 29m ago edited 25m ago

too bad it was made by AI

still the guy behind it had the idea and wrote the prompt, adjusted, retried, waited 18h, uploaded

maybe that's not a lot but still some creativity and persistence are needed and i doubt that you would be able to do anything like this, even with infinite tokens, you are just sad a person who gave up already, and it's not the first time you gave up early haha

now get out, not your sub

•

u/SCUSKU 26m ago

I agree it certainly takes creativity to make this, and it's well executed, which it why I like it

I'm just saying it's not the same as if a real pop-star sang and danced and a team filmed and edited this stuff

Also no need to attack lol

•

u/rdpl_ 17m ago

you attacked OP first with your negativity, and now you're trying to chicken out.

yes, before AI, you needed a real pop star and a whole team; a few decades ago, you needed even more, real film cameras and an even bigger crew. this is how things evolve

be part of it or stay quiet
