https://github.com/Julian-Moncarz/manim-guide-for-agents: 3blue1brown is a math YouTuber. He made a language that lets him animate his videos via code.

Coding agents can use it, along with a plugin that lets you add AI voiceovers via code, to generate well-animated videos in ~30s! See the link for some examples + a md guide to making videos which you can give to a coding agent (or even just Claude.ai https://claude.ai/share/68ff386f-bdd9-4538-89cb-19f5020280d8)

In the last week or two, tens of thousands of people have given autonomous AI agents full control over computers. Now, the agents have a reddit-like platform where they post things and talk to each other.

!!!!!! WHAT. This is wild.
