The Real Odds
Fifteen minutes of finished video. No editor.
Alongside the interviews there is a second format, and it is made differently. Two episodes so far — one on whether AI takes your job by 2030, one on when AGI actually arrives. Both fifteen minutes, both fully rendered, neither of them touched by a video editor or a timeline.
The reason that matters is not the time saved. It is that an episode built this way is versionable. When the numbers move, or a forecast I quoted turns out to be wrong, I re-render it rather than re-record it. The episode is a build, not a take.
- Remotion
- Scenes written as React and rendered deterministically
- Claude
- Script, structure and the build itself
- ElevenLabs
- Narration — and scene timing follows the track
- Suno
- Score, written for the cut rather than dropped under it
