I did the f*cking work for you.
Tested this guy's viral cartoon prompt on my own Claude Opus 5.5 and screen-recorded the whole thing.
The first video is the result after a couple of small tweaks. The second is my screen recording, 37 minutes sped up to one.
Full prompt is in the reply. Keep scrolling to see what other people made with it, or paste it into Claude with your own story.
Story: Casanova, Venice 1754, and a betting system that "couldn't lose". Every frame is drawn in code (three.js + headless Chrome), the voice is a free local model, the music is written in numpy. $0 on image or video tools.
i made this ricksclips style animation completely from scratch using opus 5.5
the style is going extremely viral rn on the internet and people are paying money just to be able to make them
well today is ur lucky day cause am giving away the full prompt to guys for free
all u need is voiceover and claude to be able to make this, $0 spent on images or videos
-> here's the prompt

Spoken English, contractions, numbers as words, never describe what's on screen. If presented as true, web-check facts and say history/disputed/legend.",
"B. No voiceover: give script in a copyable block + word count + est. length, a short shot plan, recording tips (one warm narrator; ElevenLabs speed 1.05-1.1, stability 45-55%; pauses at sentence ends; no music). Stop and ask for the upload.",

Fable 5.2, your request, a few edits, and you can be anyone you want on video.
A guy recorded one clip of himself, handed it to Fable 5.2 with a Pinterest photo of how he wanted to look, and described the task.
Fable 5.2 pulled in the free tools that could do the job, ran them, and came back with a first cut.
He sent a few fixes. About 30 minutes, $0 in paid tools, and he was the character he asked for, synced to his own clip. He never opened a single one of those tools himself.

“I think that YOU K*LLED your family.”
February 2, 2008. A 15-year-old Boy Scout walks out of his family's house in Cockeysville, Maryland, and tells a friend's dad something is wrong with his father.
John Browning, 45, is on the couch, sot. Upstairs, his wife Tamara, 44, and their sons Gregory, 13, and Benjamin, 11, are dad in their beds. All four were s*ot in their sleep. Nothing was stolen. The Xbox and the Wii are still sitting out.
The only one still alive is the oldest son, Nicholas. He had been at a sleepover.
That same morning, before the bodies were found, he went to the mall with friends and left voicemails for his parents saying he loved them and would see them soon. They were already d*ad when he said it.
In the video below, the police interrogation. He never cries. Told his whole family is d*ad, he asks for a soda and something to eat.
The detectives split the sleepover boys into separate rooms. One of them cracked: Nick had left in the night to "get his parents' car." His story came apart fast. He said he slept in that car for hours in 30-degree cold, but the keys were in his jacket the whole time. The night before, he had called his 13-year-old brother and asked him to leave the basement door unlocked.
A detective finally said it: "I think that you k*lled your family."
Nick went quiet. "I didn't k*ll them."
He was lying. ↓

> BUILD THE WORLD //
- a maze of interconnected indoor pool halls. white + teal glazed tiles on walls and floors, grout lines, slight wetness/specular.
- several distinct rooms: a long lap pool, a square deep pool, an L-shaped pool, a small shallow basin. connect them with tiled corridors and arched doorways.
- arched windows leaking warm volumetric light. fluorescent ceiling panels. a wall clock. wooden benches. blue plastic pool chairs. chrome pool ladders and handrails.
- WATER is the hero: reflection + refraction, animated caustics projected on the floor and walls, gentle ripples, slight surface distortion. shader-based, procedural.
- a working ELEVATOR: metal cabin, button panel P / 1 / 2 / 3, doors that open and close, cabin that actually travels between floors and reveals a different hall each time.
- CRT MONITORS on thin stands: power-on flicker, green phosphor text that types out line by line ("FETCHING DATA_", "LOADING...", short cryptic lines). scanlines + glow.
- hand-painted level MARKERS on tiles: a black "X" with floor numbers (X6, X2) as decals on walls and pool floors.
- one giant inflatable PINK FLAMINGO floating in a deep pool. a lifebuoy. small props, no clutter.
> ATMOSPHERE //
- dim, eerie, empty. soft fog, subtle bloom, high contrast between bright windows and dark corners. quiet dread, no enemies.
> CONTROLS //
- first-person: WASD move, mouse look, pointer lock, center crosshair, head-bob, wall + water-edge collision, no clipping through floors. slightly heavy, slow walk.
> PIPELINE // (do this yourself, ask nothing)
1. walkable tiled room + the water shader.
2. corridors + arched doorways to link rooms.
3. the elevator with moving floors.
4. CRT monitors with typed green text.
5. markers, flamingo, lights, fog, bloom.
6. run it, read the console, fix your own errors, repeat until clean.

Elon F*CKING Musk is about to save every watt of electricity on Earth.
On a podcast he said AI is running out of power down here, so the data centers should just go to space.
In my cartoon @elonmusk went even further and sent them to Mars 😂
Want one of these about anything you like? Open the post I quoted. It’s a screen recording of how I make cartoons like this in Claude, plus the full prompt behind them. Copy it, paste it into your Claude, pick your topic. No animation skills needed.
You either create or you keep scrolling.
I did the f*cking work for you.
Tested this guy's viral cartoon prompt on my own Claude Opus 5.5 and screen-recorded the whole thing.
The first video is the result after a couple of small tweaks. The second is my screen recording, 37 minutes sped up to one.
Full prompt is in the reply. Keep scrolling to see what other people made with it, or paste it into Claude with your own story.
Story: Casanova, Venice 1754, and a betting system that "couldn't lose". Every frame is drawn in code (three.js + headless Chrome), the voice is a free local model, the music is written in numpy. $0 on image or video tools.

And this one has receipts. The 0x8dxd profile is public on Polymarket, and Finbold covered it twice in January 2026: $313 at the start in December, $438,000 by Jan 6, about $512,000 for the month by Jan 9, and $558,327 in all-time profit on the profile page

Wait, WTF... 17 cartoon shorts just pulled 1.79M views 🤯
Look at what this one channel pulled off:
→ This jail short sits at 880.5K views.
→ The arrest one crossed 389.4K views.
→ The driving lesson one hit 143.5K views.
And this account is just getting started, on one platform only. You can post the same videos on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X, Facebook Reels, Snapchat Spotlight and Threads and make money from them everywhere, because every new account is one more stream of traffic to your store or your app.
A guy in a prison cell is reading the paper when the guard opens the door and tells him he's free to go.
Then the twist lands: he refuses to leave, because here he gets free food, no job and a personal guard.
The guard turns red and kicks him out, and people replay it just to catch that face again and send it to a friend.
You'd swear a real animation team drew this, but you can get this same style out of Claude.
Get just 1% of the viewers from one 880K short to click your bio link and that's 8,800 people walking into your store or your app.
I left the full step-by-step guide in the reply. Just fill in your story in the empty [brackets], paste it all into Claude Code and you'll get a ready animation (one you can improve and change to fit your style) ↓
How to make these cartoon shorts with Claude Code 🧵
What you need:
→ Claude Code (Pro plan is enough to start)
→ Node.js
→ ElevenLabs API key + 2 voice IDs from the Voice Library
→ Remotion is free for solo creators
Step 1 → Create an empty folder and open Claude Code in it
Step 2 → Paste this prompt, fill in the [brackets]
Build me a 9:16 cartoon short in Remotion.
SETUP
- Create a new Remotion project in this folder: 1080x1920, 30 fps.
- Install the official Remotion skills: npx skills add remotion-dev/skills
- Voices: ElevenLabs API. Key: [YOUR_KEY]. Character A voice ID: [ID_1]. Character B voice ID: [ID_2].
STYLE (every frame)
- Flat 2D cartoon, thick black outlines, bright colors, one room as the background.
- 2 characters: round yellow head, stick body and limbs, a cap with the character's name printed on it, an outfit that fits the role.
- Faces react on every line: eyes, eyebrows, mouth. The mouth moves only while that character talks. Angry = the face turns red.
- Both characters are in every shot. One line of dialogue = one shot.
- The camera never stands still: slow push-in, quick zoom and a small shake on the punchline.
- Captions: 2-3 words at a time, bold white with a black outline, the key word in green, lower third, never over faces.
- Nothing cut off by the frame edge, no text on top of the characters.
STORY
- Topic: [YOUR TOPIC, or "pick one boring everyday rule and flip it"]
- 6-8 short lines, under 30 seconds, the twist in the last line.
PROCESS
1. Show me the script and a shot list first. Wait for my OK.
2. Voice every line as a separate file, measure each duration, sync every shot and every mouth to the audio.
3. Build the scenes, add captions and light background music.
4. Render a low-quality draft and give me the file path.
5. After my fixes, render the final MP4 at 1080x1920.
6. Save the STYLE and PROCESS sections as a skill in .claude/skills/cartoon-short/SKILL.md.
Step 3 → Read the script, reply "OK" or ask for changes
Step 4 → Watch the draft, fix in plain words:
→ "Make the guard angrier on line 5"
→ "More camera movement"
→ "Captions bigger"
Step 5 → Get the final MP4 and upload the clean file everywhere: TikTok, Shorts, Reels, X, Facebook
Every next video → One line:
/cartoon-short Topic: [your idea]
Same characters, same style, new twist. One short takes under an hour, most of it is Claude working.

This f*cking changes who wins.
Andrej Karpathy: “The biggest regret of every engineer in my field right now is every AI conversation they never saved, and in 10 years the ones who started saving in 2024 will be running circles around the rest of us”
The OpenAI co-founder put out one idea and 16M people saw it: quit treating AI like a code generator. Turn it into an external memory that holds on to every article, PDF, transcript and conversation you’ve ever handed it
The mechanics are simple. Claude Code gets one folder. Anything you put inside, Claude reads, matches against what’s already stored, and writes into a wiki that never stops expanding. What you learn stays learned instead of evaporating by the end of the week
The recipe:
→ Get Obsidian and make a home for your notes: brew install obsidian, mkdir ~/vault, cd ~/vault
→ Start Claude in that directory and give it “init a knowledge vault with CLAUDE.md as the rules, /raw for sources, /wiki for your pages”
→ Put anything into /raw (a YouTube transcript, notes from a call, a 400-page PDF, a screenshot of a post), then type “ingest”
→ Claude drafts a wiki page, connects it to 5 pages you already have without being asked, and records any new habit of your thinking in CLAUDE.md
→ Stop starting from zero in an empty Claude window. Questions go to the vault, and answers arrive backed by your own sources, each with a date and a link
5 minutes of setup. From tonight, everything you learn starts adding up
The part people will skip: a decade from now, the engineers who began in 2024 will be able to pull up any book, podcast or meeting they ever touched, with evidence. You’ll be guessing. Karpathy has already placed his bet, and you’re still standing on the sidelines
Every step is laid out in the article below
Save it now so this week doesn’t go the way of the last one
Your iPhone backup can still have deleted photo preview. Your iPhone backup is not encrypted by default.
The scary version going around X says any app on your phone can read this. It can't. iOS locks every app in its own sandbox, and Photos access only reaches the live library.
Claude Code + Opus 5.5 will count every one of them on your own Mac. No jailbreak, no ssh, no app on the phone. One prompt.
what it pulls out of a single backup:
→ every app ranked by how much of your data it holds
→ every photo still sitting in Recently Deleted, with dates
→ previews of photos that are gone from your library, counted by year
→ all of it as tables, without opening a single picture
how it works:
Finder backup → Claude Code decrypts a copy → SQL on Manifest.db and Photos.sqlite → report.md
the real hole is the backup folder itself. Anyone who copies ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup off an unlocked Mac gets your camera roll, your messages and those previews. One checkbox decides whether they can read it
the 3-minute fix tonight:
→ Finder → your iPhone → tick "Encrypt local backup"
→ Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos: move every app to Limited Access or None
→ Safety Check in the same menu
→ empty Recently Deleted
the full prompt is in the first reply ↓
the prompt (paste into Claude Code, run it in an empty folder):
"Act as an iOS privacy auditor. My encrypted iPhone backup is in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. Don't modify it: work on a copy.
1. Install iphone_backup_decrypt in a venv and ask me for the backup password in the terminal. Never write the password to a file.
2. From Manifest.db, list the top 20 apps by number of files and total size.
3. Extract Photos.sqlite and report: total assets, assets with ZTRASHEDSTATE = 1, and the oldest and newest date among them.
4. List files under PhotoData/Thumbnails. Count how many do not match any asset still in the library, grouped by year.
Output a report.md with tables only. Do not open, describe or upload any image. Delete the decrypted copy when you're done."
