alt Hacker NewsI was curious how this thing works and asked Claude to visualize it -- mostly to see how good Fable is and I have to say, what it made was good enough for me to get a gist of it. Posted it here

Every plausibly cool electric car innovation leads me to the same thought: “5-10 years from now, the restomod potential will be wild once these come down in cost.” For this, I am imagining retrofitting a Pontiac Fiero to reduce as much weight as possible and see if extended flight becomes possible.
Thanks for sharing. I wish it was a bit more interactive especially when there are parameters, e.g. "Widen the disc and torque rises with diameter cubed" I wish there was a slider to see that effect and thus maybe why there might be a sweet spot.
Also I have "The Way Things Work" on my desk right now and can't help but wonder, could you adapt some of the pages of the book this way? It seems like exactly the kind of content that would benefit from such 3D (interactive) visual explainers.
This viz is superficially neat, but hard to get info out of. It seems like a demo in a movie.
What did you like most about it?
Honestly, I don't think this actually provided much above a paragraph of text.
The visuals didn't show much, and I learnt a lot more from one of the YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCO633KE7RA) posted below.
It's neat that a whole interactive deck can be produced without effort. But it's just not very interesting.
what was the prompt for this, did you use a CAD/threejs skill or grab a model from somewhere?
The issue with this is, without an expert, how do I know I am getting an accurate representation?
Tbh it did a pretty good job
I am not an expert, but I do know some physics and I know how to read, and I’m pretty sure this is full of BS. Also it’s a really crappy visualization.
Can you elaborate a little on what you asked Claude to do here? This is a pretty impressive one-shot.
