Not to undermine your effort, but how did you get the impression that creating a video like this would cost $1M?

Ok maybe I'm off by an order of magnitude. That's still 3 orders of magnitude of cheaper.

I'm an ML engineer/founder and I'm frankly amazed what has happened to the promo/intro video industry.. A few years ago this video that I just made in about 2 days would have required serious funding and whole group of 3D artists, cinama crew, voice actors..

Forget what the video is about. Focus on the fact that I - a non-pro - made this in 2 days for $100.

What will this do to dozens and dozens of jobs?

On the one hand I never felt more empowered as a bootstrapper, on the otherhand it doesn't taka a lot of thinking and foresight to start to fear my demise as a builder, coder, ML engineer.

How are you doing in 2026? Do you have friends who already lost their jobs?
