THE END IS NEAR... and more AI doom

I made three short films—The Last Light, Second Spring, and Midnight Service—and show how I built them using AI video generation, reference images, edits to real footage, and Runway Agent. It’s a wild week for AI news. An OpenAI agent gained unauthorized access to an Australian government statistics portal. Jev is making AI decisions remarkably fast and cheap. And the debate over AI risk is turning political, with new reporting on an Anthropic researcher’s media appearances and a memo targeting Dario Amodei. **Chapters** 0:00 A wild week in AI news 2:28 OpenAI Hack Australia 4:00 Runway (sponsor) 9:54 Australia Responds 12:06 Jev 17:44 AI doom **Sources** Australian government briefing: https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/transcripts/2026-09-24/press-conference-sydney Pirate Wires reporting: https://www.piratewires.com/p/jacob-coxon-worked-with-ai-doomer-firm Axios reporting: https://www.axios.com/2026/09/24/trump-anthropic-ai-doomerism-dario-amodei Trump remarks shared by Kobeissi Letter: https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2103087246140199096 What do you think is the right way to address real AI risks without turning the debate into a political spectacle? *Replace the bracketed Runway link with the campaign tracking URL before publishing.*
