Pls do! Cards just don't sit right with me and I'd love to see this return so I can ditch reddit. I can do that now but eh I'm weak.

Hey! I'm interested in moderation if you wanna connect

Different country, shitty hateful culture

Also a good movie.

I'll chime in the other way, I detest the frosted glass effect that the user above is describing. Mlem uses this if you want to check out a reference.

I love how clean and immersive the app is current state. The foreground of the bottom bars user above (no hate, just my opinion) makes me feel like I'm on my phone and I prefer to just get lost in content

Hey, looks neat.

Hope you're open to constructive criticism - I'd take a look at adding some production value to your how it works video.

I work with a lot of martech folks that do product videos (I'm not selling you something) and I'd recommend a super straight forward marketing video that shows how easy the product is to use and share videos with.

Get literally any budget microphone and record your audio voiceover VERY clearly in a closet and lay that over a simple workflow for capturing a video with snapify then sharing it. Add some royalty free background music at low volume and it'll help sell this for you significantly more than your current video is doing.

I mostly agree with you but think it's important to clarify that even with machine learning many humans can be replaced.

To extend your metaphor, that library has always had a bunch of clerks sitting inside of it. They've been handling requests, finding books, and organizing them into a system that works to best serve that information.

Now with machine learning, instead of having all of those clerks making the library run smoothly, they've effectively replaced 99% of all of the humans with an organizational system that serves content and helps find books even faster than a human would be able to.

Slightly deeper: this machine learning replacement can also now mix and match bits of content. The human system before might have a request that looks like this - "I want information on Abrahamic Religion in Western Culture" so they'd gather up a ton of books and pass them to the person that requested info.

In the new replacement system, the request could take bits and pieces from all of those books and present a mostly comprehensive overview of Abrahamic Religion in the West without having to run and fetch all of the books.

Deeper yet, and the scary iceberg - today, someone still needs to write all of those books and we as a society tend to trust information gotten from those books (cited sources and all that) so humans are safe as the content authors right? We've basically just made a super efficient organizational and content delivery system. But as we start to trust the new system and use it more, we're potentially seeing the system reference its own outputs as opposed to the source material...which creates a recursive, negative feedback loop.

We still need human content creation today, but the scary part (IMO) is when we treat these LLMs as generative general AI. The LLMs are fallible and can be incorrect and often hallucinate - so when most people start blindly trusting these systems (they already do - look no further than general confusion on the terms AI and machine learning and LLMs), we're going to get increasingly further away from new knowledge generation.

Literally same - but hosting the world's largest "free" library of content costs someone money and if I want to keep having access to that, someone has to foot the bill to pay the content creators and Google's cost for hosting - so I'm happy to subsidize your needs

That's a wide brush you're painting with.

YouTube is the largest repository of information and entertainment in the world and it isn't cheap to run. I also want to support the small creators that I watch so that it remains a viable income stream and they keep serving me content I consume.

Fuck a price hike and fuck corpo google shit but this is still a steal for my personal watching habits

That would be large

Any bets on who the mysterious figure manipulating Vale & Arbiter is?

Serin Osman seems like too easy a pick but sewing discord amongst the Sangheili is literally her heritage so maybe.

I'll take Dhas Basvod I think. Makes perfect sense that he wants revenge on the Arbiter, and after what he did to spoiler, all of us readers certainty want revenge too.

Text from article (does not include the preview content itself):

In the years that followed the Covenant War, Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam reformed the Swords of Sanghelios—an alliance of keeps that serves as the primary governing body of Sanghelios.

As Fireteam Osiris in Halo 5: Guardians, we helped the Arbiter liberate his homeworld from Jul ‘Mdama’s Covenant remnant faction, but then the galaxy itself fell under the looming shadow of the Created uprising. Powerful Forerunner constructs have been dispatched to forcefully pacify resistance against Cortana’s rule, with Guardians threatening planet-wide destruction as the cost of defiance.

And it is here that Halo: Outcasts takes place, in November 2559, following the razing of Oth Sonin—the home system of the Jiralhanae—and a few short weeks before the Banished attack on Zeta Halo.

2559. Formerly one of the Covenant's greatest and most fearsome warriors, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam is now allied with his former human enemies while deeply entrenched in leading the Sangheili people to a new era of unification. But his aspirations are under constant threat, whether by the dangerous, warring factions of rival Sangheili keeps, or the relentless shadow of oppression spread by the renegade artificial intelligence Cortana.

An opportunity to break Cortana's chains has suddenly presented itself through the rumored existence of an ancient artifact located on the hostile world of Netherop. Spartan Olympia Vale, trained with the skills to live and thrive among the Sangheili, also recognizes this alien prize as an essential means to aid humanity in reaching the same goal of freedom. But behind the scenes, both 'Vadam and Vale are being manipulated by a mysterious figure with their own agenda. And to make matters worse, all involved are unknowingly placing themselves at perilous odds with forces beyond their comprehension.

[PREVIEW 1] | PREVIEW 2 (coming July 24) | PREVIEW 3 (coming August 1)

In this first of three previews, we catch up with Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam and his entourage—which includes Usze ‘Taham and N’tho ‘Sraom from Halo 3—as their journey back to Vadam Keep is interrupted by the occupying armiger forces of Cortana.

Yep it's great - Everyone liked that status.

It should stay around and they should turn the speed up as much as possible to populate it with more maps.

They have most of the things they need to relaunch the game IMO and they don't need to spend COD money on marketing to bring the population back to a long-term sustainable level.

Bring the customs browser to the main menu Release forge AI & firefight and spotlight in event Rotate all events since launch 1/Month for relaunch Weekends are double XP. Period. Curate forge maps and populate playlists with bests Time it all with a book release and an HCS tournament Add in real, amazing rewards to career progression Make this a community first game and constantly spotlight community maps and modes and new missions

There's your relaunch and path for the next year of 10k players/day which is a realistic goal
