Fable: "Last and First Men is out of copyright. I want you to make a movie that features a reading of it with appropriate mixes of animation and images using access to the APIs you have (elevenlabs, hugging face) . Give me the first 10-15 minutes, ending at an appropriate break."
Users are excited about the AI creating an animated movie adaptation of Last and First Men because it produces beautiful long-form results and shows rapid progress from earlier limitations.

I never touched any tool or anything, all designs & prompts were the AI's choices. I pushed back a couple times: "Are there ways to make the whole thing better - it is lots of static images and such? i want you to make this captivating to watch, not just a pretty slide show"

@UseNeverbell The original version added the prologue, which was boring, so i told it to remove it.
@emollick "You failed to meet the 10-15 minute criteria, it's only 8minutes and 40 seconds. Redo the task and complete it properly this time"
@emollick Which API/service was used to generate the images pls? Interesting.
@emollick Very cool, FaLM was the first storyworld demo I built with an LLM back in December, I should keep working on it.
@emollick Wow
@emollick well it's nice that it's still clear cut AI
@emollick bruh slop says what?
@emollick This is a great great idea
@emollick It's done some absolutely beautiful work with your prompting 🙌
@emollick Same shift we've noticed running longer agent tasks: the feedback we give narrows down to notes like yours — "make it captivating, not a slideshow" — taste and direction, not technical instruction. The tools disappear from our side of the conversation too.
@emollick What kind of token $ burn we looking at here?
@emollick The demo is impressive but the product question starts right after generation retries cost control approval points and where human review enters before publishing. That is where media agents become infrastructure.
@emollick We went from AI can't do long-form to make me a 15-minute film from a 1930s novel and stop at a good break faster than I could finish my coffee. And ending at an appropriate break is quietly the hardest instruction in there.
