Write once, run everywhere refers to the target bytecode running on a compliant JVM. Since apple itself has mentioned to officially drop intel support, OpenJDK maintainers have no reason to continue support on a deprecated hardware. That said, if there is any enterprise/ community that requires a port for intel macs then, they can maintain it. link to become a maintainer: https://openjdk.org/projects/

Great project! have you considered giving the agents code-based video rendering like MoviePy or Remotion? Since LLMs are mostly trained on texts and code maybe for edits use code based approach and for complex scenes fallback for seedance, elevenlabs mcp or connectors

When the hardware you paid isn't your anymore. I guess hardware enshittification is creeping into all the devices. Even the PC monitors have started doing this now

May the force be with you. In all seriousness, can you document your journey? I always wanted to get into building games, that is what got me into software engineering but never took the time to build any game apart from few projects back in my uni days
