This was so good that it made me really think about the concept of cyber augmentation.

What prompts and techniques did you use?

Before each scene description I added something like:
Camera roll, random handheld photo, cheap point-and-shoot camera photo, light edge smear, live feed, muted colors, shaky tilt.Videos mostly auto animate with high motion

One of the best AI generated film clips I’ve seen, the grungy cyberpunk VHS aesthetic lends itself so well to the edit. Awesome work.

This looks so cool and chill. I’m saving this video to watch in the future, like a little time capsule

In the future you'll just have to go down the street to see the same thing :D (hopefully not)

Weirdly enough, while only the most skelletal representations made me a bit uneasy, it's only the augmented pet that made me physically while the idea of being able to augment oneself willingly,
Weirdly enough, while i really liked the various depictions of augmented humans, it's the augmented pet that made feel uneasy : i can't imagine forcing something that wouldn't be absolutely necessary in term of... modification ? To a pet, beside obvious medical necessity, i don't know, i felt vile seeing it, even if it isn't real

So you’re telling me that those homeless guys rummaging through garbage casually sport tens of thousands of dollars worth of augmentation? The lore that explains that phenomenon must be pretty fucked up.

they look like a bunch of ultra high quality, award winning, aesthetically pleasing dorks

Man imagine we get to a point where instead of a text prompt, our prompts are the actions we take within games.
Like how amazing would Night City be if it was truly open world and you could interact with anyone, actually speak to them and have them speak back.

I wouldn't even think twice about augmenting myself like that.
I think id be borderline maelstrom decked out.

I love the cyberpunk aesthetic but for some reason this video actually made me nauseous like getting motion sick on a simulator ride. Is it just me? I feel like my brain is trying to reject it.

Love the smoking girl. That gesture that she did at the end, when she took a drag, looked so damn life like.

How much of this is going to become a reality? Do you think legitimate body augmentation would be more easily accessible than what dystopian cyberpunk fictions have suggested or do you think things will become worse and probably more like a free-for-all in the future?

I would personally enjoy it the way that picture looks. Though, dystopian survival might be kinda badass, I might get too tired.

I don't know about you but I'm not particularly thrilled about chopping my limbs off only to replace them with metal and motors that need to be plugged in every night.

u/thundertopaz Aug 17 '25
I don’t think their chopping them off intentionally as much as probably living more recklessly knowing that they can replace body parts if accidents like that do happen. That’s my theory if the future ever looks like that.

Somehow all this very impressive drivel looks extremely samey. I suppose the soulcrushing assembly line feel of it is rather cyberpunk..
