Original prompt
The complete prompt published by the author. Any required assets or project context are listed below.
Create a video showcasing the entire course of human progress, then extend it 30 years into the future.
Claire Lin publishes the complete 18-word starting instruction she used with her own 106.05-second result, attributed to Claude Opus 5.5. She explicitly credits inspiration from a Reddit user; originality of the instruction’s wording or idea is not claimed. Procedural scenes move from fire and architecture through industrial, electrical and network motifs into speculative futures. The prompt asks the film to extend 30 years into the future; those scenes are creative speculation, not verified predictions. No asset or reference is requested. Rendering tools and exact local agent setup are not disclosed.
