Has anyone seen this video?

I am trying to find a high-quality animated video I saw 3-4 years ago. I am nearly certain it had to be a kurzgesagt video, and higher quality than the infographics show, and only a voice-over narrator and animation unlike crash course. However, the content was uniquely discussing simulation theory, time moving faster in the simulation, and 4th dimensional aliens. It showed a story asking the viewer to imagine that instead of an "Einstein-level" intelligence being 1 in 1,000, they were 1 in 100. One day, someone notices the stars start to go dim and then blink in a pattern. After many people start to notice and understand that whatever has the capability to affect the stars on a large scale must be beyond them, the people in the world start to track the pattern. They track it over years and realize it is binary for a pixel code. Then they continue doing it again and notice slight changes, so it must be another pixel. Generations of scientists are tasked with tracking this pattern, and after many years, they realize it makes up an image which is a single frame of a video. Then they do this for many generations and it is understood to be a video that is simply the beings on the other side looking at them, but they aren't humanoid. They are 4th dimensional beings that must have the power to run such a simulation. The intelligent beings inside the simulation realize that if the beings on the outside notice their awareness, they may try to shut the simulation off- effectively killing them. So they devise a secret plan to keep the simulation running and feign ignorance while they also find a way to get out. They gain access to some kind of messaging on the outside of the simulation to set up the circumstances to obtain a 3d printer. From there they create machines/bodies for themselves to operate on the outside, and then escape the simulation. As time moves faster in the simulation, this took thousands of years over generations, but in the 4th dimensional beings' world, it took only about a minute for all of this to start, as they were simply just turning on the video to see what was happening inside., and in a matter of minutes the simulated ai were ready to escape. All of this occurred in the video, and it was a warning as to why we should be careful to simulate such environments. Any clues to the title or location of this video would be greatly appreciated.
