Simon Willison uses Claude to generate a Yonkers mecha animation
What happened
On November 10, Simon Willison reported an attempt to generate a three.js animation with Claude Fable 5.2 Medium. The animation shows Yonkers as a large mecha that stands up and then stomps on Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, using map data from OpenStreetMap. During generation, the model also correctly inferred that "átomos" in the prompt was a phone-keyboard typo for "stomps." The report shows the animation and how the model handled the mistyped prompt.
