- 4ndrewl 5mo agoIt looks pretty nice - reminds me of Dorling Kindersley books. But the graphics, whilst stylised, are pretty hit-and-miss. Great idea, just a bit too soon.
- tt_dev 5mo agowow - truly impressive.
- Legend2440 5mo agoInteresting idea and cool demo. For this to really be practical you'd need a way to run networks many times faster and more efficiently than today's GPUs. This is too slow to work even with cloud GPUs powering it. Maybe someday.
- martianlantern 5mo agoCool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this
- apsurd 5mo agoI didn't want to even try it because of similar. ("immigrant mentality" they call it around here. it's not a pejorative. TLDR: frugal because starting life over) and it's really slow. I didn't end up waiting. Not a slight to the creators, let them create. It's just really freaking slow I didn't wait.

- zan2434 5mo agoI am unfortunately just paying for this out of pocket! Didn't really expect it to blow up like this.
- prodigycorp 5mo agoThank you for sharing this. Not often do you get projects that expand your imagination about what we can do with these models.
- endymion-light 5mo agoThank you for this, i think it's fantastic! I've got some open source AR work i'm doing, it's given me some inspiration to build something using it!
- justinclift 5mo agoAre you running it from your own gpu(s), or paying for the gpu usage in a likely-eye-watering way? ;)
- henry2023 5mo agoAmazing work, thanks for building this. Are you planing on open sourcing it? Do you have a way to support your work?
- rogerrogerr 5mo agoPlease write a blog post about the experience of making / hosting / paying for this. I’d love to hear about it.
- potamic 5mo agoWhat's the average cost per interaction?
- fragmede 5mo agoI mean, do you have any hobbies or does every cent you have go to food, rent, and savings, with no frivolities, not even a drink after work or food that isn't rice and beans? Some people play video games or painting or carpentry or what have you. Instead of spending money on alcohol or sports, some people with FAANG-level salaries choose to spend their entertainment budget on GenAI art projects. Not your cup of tea, totally fine, but I suspect your budget has something others could choose to find frivolous if someone wanted to nitpick.
- HWR_14 5mo agoThe comment seems less about frivolousness and more about budget.
- brohan90 5mo agoThis is one of the more unique ideas i've encountered in a long time
- matt_heimer 5mo agoIt's perfect for toddlers (I mean that in a good way), it's the infinite answer to the infinite "What's that?" series of questions they can generate. Make everything a hyperlink and it's almost like a LLM mind map of knowledge.
- RIMR 5mo agoDon't trust it too much. I got it to generate a datacenter filled with brains in jars, and it went with it.
- radarsat1 5mo agoyou gave me the idea of using it to explore weird random scifi ideas, ended up spending way too much time clicking through details about the role of astrophage in the development of intelligence in deep sea life. Fun!

- wxw 5mo agoSo cool! Love the exploration into new interfaces.
- sd9 5mo agoThis seems like an expensive product to subject to the HN hug of death. The sample videos on the tweet are very very cool. Unfortunately it didn’t really work for me, I’ll try it out in a few days when the traffic’s died down.
- moralestapia 5mo agoThis is real nice, wow. Congratulations. This very well could be a sneak-peek into how educational resources might look like in the future.
- namanvyas 5mo agoCouldn't get it to load (probably getting hammered right now) but the concept is interesting. Feels like one of those things where the tech needs to get 10x cheaper before it actually makes sense as a product.
- deviantony 5mo agoVery cool project ! I fear this might have a pretty high hallucination potential (with current models) the deeper you dig into the base image/context and clicking on potentially unrelated elements in the image. Nevertheless, love the idea.
- CrzyLngPwd 5mo agoThe worst part of this sort of slop is the attention it squanders by being glacially slow. In the age of such enormous computing power, this sort of thing is pure waste. MS Encarta CDs were faster and more in-depth.
- gblargg 5mo agoMaybe it has an "act like a 56k modem connection" directive in its internal prompt. /s
- giobox 5mo agoI just asked it to create a torque spec diagram of the suspension for my car, a subject I'm pretty familiar with. It amazingly drew everything correctly, displayed the correct torque figures and allowed me to click on individual components to zoom in further, providing more specs. Genuinely one of the most impressive demos I've tried in a long time. I was able to use it almost like a living version of a classic illustrated Haynes workshop manual.
- tomashubelbauer 5mo agoI asked it about designing a 12 V solar system for a garden shed and it got everything but the broadest of strokes wrong. It figured out there should be a solar panel, a solar charge controller, a battery and some loads, but the wiring was non-sensical and when I drilled in on the solar charge controller settings etc. it completely fell apart. Absolute non-starter for any information you plan on depending on, but good entertainment value and impressive execution.
- thegrim33 5mo agoI decided to test it out myself. Went to the website, typed in "Jeep Wrangler JK engine bay with components labeled" (Since I'm intimately familiar with JK engine bays). Seems like a pretty analogous test to what you did, if anything an even easier test. Let's see what we get .. a very nice looking diagram of a wrangler engine bay with components labeled, looks good. But wait .. - The brake fluid reservoir is on the wrong side of the engine bay - Where the brake fluid reservoir is, it's labeled as the coolant overflow tank, and while the actual coolant overflow tank does exist in the diagram, it has no label. - The battery is on the wrong side of the engine bay. - The top of the front grill is labeled as the "oil filter cap". - The oil fill cap is in the wrong place. - Half of the battery is labeled as the fuse box, when the fuse box is correctly shown, but unlabeled, on the other side of the engine bay. - It shows two different windshield washer reservoirs next to each other. I could keep going on ... Now I tried clicking on the incorrectly labeled coolant overflow reservoir and it switches to a new page which now shows a completely different looking coolant overflow, but now it's at least located in the correct place in the engine bay. But of course it doesn't look remotely like the actual coolant overflow container. It also shows the radiator cap as on the top of the coolant reservoir, when in reality it is very much on the top of the radiator itself. Like .. I can find fault with every aspect of it. But of course, if you didn't actually know much about the topic it'd all look fairly believable. The story of LLMs basically.
- tristor 5mo agoThis is very cool, if a bit glitchy right now (probably thanks to HN popularity). I used to this to generate infographics of the rear subframe, diff carrier, and rear suspension of my car and to get detailed specifications on the bushings, suspension members, and other components. Most of the information matches what I already know, and could be really useful if trained specifically on manufacturer/dealer shop manuals to create interactive models of vehicles you can drill to and get part numbers and specifications for any component on a car.
- gardenhedge 5mo agoGame changer when the technology catches up
- otterpro 5mo agoIt's pretty cool. I created a beautiful isometric illustration of home garden, which is worthy of being featured in a real book or magazine. I really like the isometric view to explain things, and the color palette is consistent and pleasant.
- DonHopkins 5mo agoThis wins the internet. I went from Cat Photos into History of Victorian Cat Photos With Props like Miniature Tea Sets And Velvet Chairs And Humorous Captions On Calling Cards In Visually Ironic Aristocratic Cooperplate Font The Victorian Meme Script With High Stakes Expectations Anchored In A World With Human Dignity As It Relates To Modern Memes in just a few clicks. Oddly specific, but that was exactly what I needed to see today.
- sentientslug 5mo agoThis is not really working for me at all, the second images always look near identical to the first with some minor changes. Maybe my prompts are the issue? Anyone have some good prompts?
- consumer451 5mo agoI started with the prompt "F-104 Starfighter" and it went pretty well. [0] I wish I could share all of the things I clicked on afterwards, exactly in the order in which I tried to tell the story. When I try to use the share feature on anything below the root node, I get "This page could not be saved for sharing." However, the video generation does work in that share modal, in the way I would expect. [1] Super cool project.

- trhway 5mo agoThe future of programming and IT tech - If you need a database, you just say to the model "you're a database". Or "you're a CRM", "you're a Doom game", "you're a Word processor", etc. It was "network is the computer", now it will be "model is the computer", and the model will be like one large ("multi tenant" - it will know on its own how/when to separate tenants' data and when to analyze it all together) model living on tens/hundreds of millions of nodes in AWS ... the AWS itself will be just that model.
- throwup238 5mo agoAnd when the datacenter staff show up for work every morning the AI will them “You are employee #5378. Today you are a janitor. You will…” going off on a long list of hyper precise instructions for them to follow, like a human prompt.

- stephenpontes 5mo agoDidn't quite nail the labeling of each piece correctly for a small form factor PC build: https://flipbook.page/n/12267bbfdeb043c3aa477337950b2b71 https://flipbook.page/n/12267bbfdeb043c3aa477337950b2b71 - M2 is labeled as GPU - GPU is labeled as M.2 and RAM? - RAM is labeled as GPU - Random plant inside the case? - This is also not a typical layout for a SFF PC Great demo, interesting transitions and UI, but the model / generated information is definitely not correct.
- Lockal 5mo agoInteresting, for me your "permalink" shows SSD labeled as DDR4/DDR5, cooler named as CPU, "Praer Caplu", no M.2, etc. I guess it regenerates images ever so often, so can't predict what will be shown next time.
- farmeroy 5mo agoI kind of find this absolutely infuriating for reality, but super fun for diagrams of things like 'interdimensional subcutaneous engineering' or whatever scifi/fantasy word salad you want to throw at it
- __MatrixMan__ 5mo agoThis is fun. I started with "all hail the glow cloud" and now I'm clicking to wander around Nightvale. It's not exactly suprrising that it knows all of the lore, but it paints a pretty cohesive picture...

- iJohnDoe 5mo agoSo cool! People being critical of it not being accurate, but from a technology concept it’s super awesome.
- squibonpig 5mo agoVery cool as a demo. I tried something information-dense, a poker pre-flop chart for a specific stack depth (40BB BTN vs UTG rfi) and it was about what I expected. It doesn't even resemble a poker chart and there's no salvageable information as far as I can tell.

Even added solar panels. General design was correct, and it included the name of a town just nearby. Not a surprising result, but made me reflect on what a weird world we now live in.
- Isharmla 5mo agoIncredible AI visualization tool
- Nikolas0 5mo agoCongrats on the launch! This is an amazing product. Something I would add is a panel with sources in case someone wants to have a deep dive in the information. My 2 cents: This could be transformed to a state of the art teacher kind of product

- markusw 5mo agoThis is so good and so fun! :D
- gyomu 5mo agoI love this because it articulates so well a precise vision of a world I don’t want to live in. This is built from the collective works of all humans throughout history who have strived to make infographics, illustrations, and communicate knowledge - with 0 actual credit or reference to them (or financial compensation, if they’re still alive). Instead, who is making money from this? Google, as providers of the model - and maybe the founders of this product, if they ever choose to monetize it somehow. I’m not even going to get into how the results it produces have just enough “insight” to appear valid but the moment you inspect it up close, it’s completely wrong in most details, and replete with ornamentation that doesn’t actually add to meaning - a Potemkin village of knowledge - because the common answer to this criticism around here is “just wait 6 months bro the models will definitely solve all those problems”. (some of the things I’ve tried for reference) https://flipbook.page/n/56fed5ac8e164467b1d6151a6d5068ae https://flipbook.page/n/56fed5ac8e164467b1d6151a6d5068ae https://flipbook.page/n/deeb4d846d1a44738aa70d8973fc5765 https://flipbook.page/n/deeb4d846d1a44738aa70d8973fc5765 https://flipbook.page/n/335fb5d4c4d8428d82e8a43fc4f7a4e8 https://flipbook.page/n/335fb5d4c4d8428d82e8a43fc4f7a4e8 We are not better off investing billions of dollars in computers doing this over paying humans to write and illustrate and make cultural artefacts. We are not better off putting this in the hands of kids rather than meaningfully designed resources & curriculum designed by humans. What are we even doing. That’s the biggest problem with the current wave of AI tooling - it’s so easy to make a cool demo all while completely missing the point of what actually is good for human flourishing.

- docheinestages 5mo agoGreat idea and execution!
- tomaskafka 5mo agoI applaud the idea and the technological part of that, but of course, as with all AI models, it produces utter slop once you go even a tiny bit outside of the learning data. For example, here I asked for a mechanism of converting the circular motion to wing flapping, and it has no idea what to do at all. https://flipbook.page/n/21f96ba33aa94852bc1f567bc5cd23bf https://flipbook.page/n/21f96ba33aa94852bc1f567bc5cd23bf The core problem with using AI to learn is that if you don't know about the specific area (which you don't, that's why you are learning it), it can (and absolutely will) fake knowledge without you ever noticing it, and be utterly wrong, disseminating false info, and teaching you (or your kids) wrong world models.
- saberience 5mo agoIt's not really a website streamed live at all... It's just asking a model to generate an image with some web searches plus its built-in (trained knowledge) You can do this with any agentic coding model now... just ask OpenAI codex : generate me an image given this query: "the query" and you will get the same kind of outputs.
- Skwid 5mo agoI don't know what everyone's complaining about, it seems perfectly accurate to me: https://flipbook.page/n/8e369afba8ea4563a739b58105c3c3d8 https://flipbook.page/n/8e369afba8ea4563a739b58105c3c3d8

If often identifies some of the points of interest correctly, but their spacial location relative to each other is completely insane. Like, not even close to reality.
- mmargenot 5mo agoI love this approach, very Diamond Age. I uploaded a picture of my cat and learned a lot about coat genetics. I think it fixated on his coloration.
- kyle-rb 5mo agoYeah this is the best implementation of A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer so far.
- filearts 5mo agoLot's of comments are nit-picking on how this demo misses the mark on specific technicalities of domains they're familiar with. But that's totally missing the point: this is a demo of what seems like a totally new interaction model that could not previously have existed. It's a small glimpse at a possible future where those nit-picky details get better. Remember when image models produced grotesque hands? Now look at GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro; those original nits are mostly a thing of the past. Take a look at this not for its immediate flaws but for the new doors it opens and the expansion of our collective imagination.
- frays 5mo agoThis is a use case of AI image generation that's actually a positive for society.

- nirav72 5mo agoThis is incredible. I uploaded a diagram of a hydroponics system I found somewhere. It generated additional high-quality diagrams of specific parts of the system.

- haritha-j 5mo agoI just remembered how much I dont miss dial-up.
- yamajun93 5mo agoThis is so cool! I wonder how you keep the context so it remembers what it was rendered before. Since it is real-time, how do you keep consistency in the webpage so user can browse back and revisit already rendered sections?
- bluehat974 5mo agoSeems related to https://metauto.ai/neuralcomputer/ https://metauto.ai/neuralcomputer/ Reading this, I couldn’t help but think of Ray Kurzweil’s idea that we’ll eventually spend most of our time in virtual environments near 2035 with help of nanobots. This feels like a specific, functional twist on that prediction. Instead of just a digital world to hang out in, the 'neural computer' is like a specialized VR generated by AI to solve a specific problem. It’s a version of reality that adapts itself entirely to whatever task is at hand. It's fun!

- wackget 5mo agoI would really, really love to know how much of our natural resources have been wasted in producing slop like this.
- saberience 5mo agoHow is this "streaming" and how is it "live"? It's neither streaming NOR live, by my definitions. It's generating single images, one by one, based on a prompt. So it's automating image generation via calls to Gemini. That's it. It's not generating "websites", it's generating an image based on a prompt, then generating a new image based on the previous image, and the position of where you clicked it, and a prompt. The author has massively exagerated the complexity of this, you can one-shot this with a single prompt in Claude or Codex.
- breadsniffer 5mo agoYeah very simple, but cool nonetheless.
- bigbossman 5mo agoUsing this was like a peek into the future. And this kind of generative UI offers a lot more immediate practical utility than world model demos.
- bawana 5mo agoLLMs are just automated bs artists. Useful for discouraging customer support and satisfying box-checking rule makers
- mlsu 5mo agoVery cool. I think what's so remarkable is that this is basically the (ultra crappy *) version of the original hypermedia. A person who knows something puts up a page, and uses hyperlinks to link to other pages. Those other pages have information from other people who are sharing their knowledge. Of course, that isn't how the internet works now. Everything is a platform/app that wants to maximally surveil and control their users as much as possible. * Not talking about the work of the person who made it; it's very cool and great UX. Moreso that the models themselves are an expensive, smeared, inaccurate/dishonest approximate version of actual human experience/expertise.
- superkuh 5mo agoI asked it to draw the step by step folding and taping guide for making a tetrahedral hot air balloon envelope (tetroon) from a rectangular sheet and it failed completely.
- totallygeeky 5mo agoI truly don't understand how people get excited for any of these products. They're comically unreliable, so usage implies you don't know how wrong it is or don't care. Asked it about how to count, half of the diagram was incomprehensible/wrong. Asked it about cryptocurrency basics, again, the way the information made no sense and several points were vague to the point of being incorrect. Asked it about the seahorse emoji, it made up a shit wholesale. Entirely fabricated page. This is what we're reshaping the economy and computing world around?

The first flight only lasted 12 seconds. A good investor or inventor sees the potential of an idea, not just the limits of the current instantiation. This indeed gets details wrong, but anyone who thinks we’re not headed in this direction in the next half-decade or so will likely be woefully incorrect. Give it room to improve. Don’t claim victory before the battle has even begun!
