$47k–$115k/month ads are using animated styles like this
not influencers
not ugc
not polished brand shoots
just ai turning abstract problems into simple characters
burnout, stress, fatigue
shown as something you can actually see
a drop of “energy”
a body slowly breaking down
emotions visualized in real time
it feels soft… but hits instantly
you don’t analyze it
you understand it
that’s why people stop scrolling
every video follows a pattern
introduce the feeling
turn it into a visual
show the shift or relief
same concept reused across angles
mental health, skincare, energy, hormones
one idea → dozens of variations
simple animation doing all the explaining
rt + comment “animate” and i’ll send the breakdown
(follow for dm)
That vendor tried to triple their price. $70k → $170k.
The CTO didn't leave. They vibe-coded it.
That's the new playbook. AI builds the tool. You stop paying the subscription.
Wrote the playbook on this. 13 tools you can swap today. One payment, done.
Karpathy just scored 342 US jobs on AI exposure.
Naval said software was eating itself.
What that means in practice: if AI can build and run the software... why are you paying monthly for it?

That CTO watching the vendor double their price from $70k to $170k?
They should have vibe-coded it six months ago.
The build vs. buy math flipped. That $100k budget is now a $20 Anthropic bill.
The openclaw guy went from $480/mo subscriptions to $1,245/mo in API costs.
Still paying. Just moved the bill.
The actual win: tools where AI matches free tier and you pay $0.
Not every tool needs replacing. Just the ones bleeding you dry.
Everyone rushing to replace their $80/mo CRM with an AI agent.
Cool. But who's managing the agent? Debugging the outputs? Fixing the hallucinations?
The tools worth replacing: ones AI matches 90% for 10% of the cost.
Not every subscription is worth killing.
The trap is going full API costs like that $1,245/mo openclaw guy.
The sweet spot: replace tools you use daily, keep what works.
Don't rebuild your CRM at 2am because Naval said software was eaten by AI.
I spent 3 hours this week cloning my $99/mo analytics tool.
Claude Opus did it. Pinecone for the vector store. Supabase free tier.
Total cost: $0. First month.
That's the Karpathy math nobody's talking about.
Naval said software was eaten by AI.
Karpathy just quantified it: 342 jobs scored on AI exposure.
If AI handles 70% of your $50/mo SaaS tool's workload, you're paying $15/mo for what AI does better.
Stop paying the middleman.
Claude Code can now run your terminal from your phone.
That's my $150/mo JetBrains subscription gone.
My $20/mo remote desktop tool gone.
My $15/mo code sharing app gone.
One feature. Three subscriptions eliminated.
The "SaaS is dead" crowd went from $480/mo subscriptions to $1,245/mo in API costs.
Still paying. Still monthly.
The subscription model just found a new host.
If AI can clone your SaaS in an afternoon, vendors lose all pricing power.
$170k/year suddenly becomes: $0 in API costs, a weekend, and basic prompting skills.
The threat is the leverage.
Naval said software was eaten by AI.
He's right.
But most people still paying $30/mo for Notion, $20/mo for Slack, $15/mo for Canva.
You don't need those subscriptions anymore.
