I hope the walls don't cave in on you. Eyes up. My friends in VFX are adopting AI workflows and they say that it's essential.

> Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs [3]

Look at all of the jobs Netflix has posted for AI content production [4].

> Gabe Newell says AI is a 'significant technology transition' on a par with the emergence of computers or the internet, and will be 'a cheat code for people who want to take advantage of it' [5]

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the cofounder of DreamWorks [6]:

> "Well, the good old days when, you know, I made an animated movie, it took 500 artists five years to make a world-class animated movie," he said. "I don't think it will take 10% of that three years out from now," he added.

I can keep finding no shortage of sources, but I don't want to waste my time.

I've brushed shoulders with the C-suite at Disney and Pixar and talked at length about this with them. This world is absolutely changing.

The best evidence is what you can already see.

Frankly, that is all just speculative, once again. AI is hitting a significant roadblock. Look at how disappointing GPT-5 was. No amount of compute is ever going to match the hype matching those quotes.

The C-suite who don't realize how wrong they are about AIs potential are going to be facing a harsh reality. And artists will be the first to be hurt by their HYPE TRAIN management style and mindset.

Edit: most of all, the 3d generation in this LLM3d model is about the same as the genAI 3d models from a year ago... And two years ago... A good counterpoint would be Tubi's recently released, mostly AI gen short films. They were garbage and looked like garbage.

Netflix's foray, of memory serves, was a single scene where a building collapses. Hardly industry shattering. And 3d modeling and genAI images/videos are substantially different.

		The only consequence they will be facing is being parachuted off with bootloads of money after they have failed to deliver on their magical promises.
