Oooh, good point. As an admin/moderator feature, that's a much better idea.

Hmmm, tbh, I don't think that's a feature I'd want. Every now and again you see "that guy" furious that he's getting downvotes, doubling down and trying to start an argument or something. I don't need that guy showing up in my DMs.
You're probably making a joke, but I'll explain it just in case anyway. It's Prequel Trilogy (movies 1-3), Original Trilogy (movies 4-6), Sequel Trilogy (movies 7-9), and Expanded Universe (books, TV shows, comics, games, etc), fairly established terms within the Star Wars fandom.
As a bonus, there's also "Legends", referring to the EU content Disney decanonized when they started the sequels.
Both of those videos were so good, actually. Incredible timing that they came out side by side lol
Yeah, I respect that. Actually really liked the formatting of this post, with the little summary, and opening the discussion. Much better than having some bot just dump the link here for every video!
That's actually part of why I chose to drop the first comment, hopefully these can be hopping with some good engagement going forward. I think like many people, I often have thoughts or want to discuss these, but YT comments are just a nightmare if you want to do anything more than skim them.
Thought this was a really weird video for the main channel. Do they not have some kind of car channel at this point?
Anyway, appreciate they want to try new things, but this wasn't for me personally.
This is very intriguing.... I actually work in CBC (nowhere near content or with the social media people who'd make these kinds of decisions), but as a developer I get 20% time to dabble with anything I think might be useful. I haven't used it in a while, but a CBC ActivityPub instance may be just the right project, especially if it can auto-publish our content from the same feeds that power our site.
Eh, there's a lot of valid things to be skeptical about. Using these tools as a DM is fundamentally different from using them as a massive corporation, as you're not considering replacing your team of talented artists and writers to cut costs.
That said, done right, I also think this could be amazing. Legally train these models on the wealth of historical D&D art, and provide it to DMs to use during their campaigns to make maps, art for places the DM is describing on the fly, all of these things that no artist could possibly make because these locations are being invented on the fly as the players throw a skilled DM curveballs. D&D feels like an ideal "problem" for a lot of the "solutions" AI has to offer.
Incredibly impressive to even get there! And yeah, absolutely. Once I had all the caves I'd found, and Keaton wouldn't point me to any others, I quickly went "well this is unreasonable nonsense, I'm not just wandering until I happen upon these" and got a tracker.
Holy dang. I got all the wells, all the caves, a complete compendium, and all the quests done, and even I think you're nuts for this one!
Surely you had to use some kind of tracker app for this, right? No way you just ran around long enough to accomplish all of this.
I also feel like a lot of the value of chronological is lost if I think it's algorithmic recommendations. If I don't know I'm browsing the latest? I'll likely just think the algorithm is serving up some garbage. Especially somewhere like Facebook, where people haven't really been curating their feed for years, just... following whoever to be polite and letting the algorithm take care of it.
Yeah, having it on your user page is much less dangerous, imo. Still a possibility of getting called out if you downvote someone you're arguing with, but you're already in the comments there.
The only way I see a problem is if someone writes a bot or extension that reads the user profile into something "per comment", and if that gets enough traction and use to build up a strong database. However, in that case, I'd imagine the Lemmy devs would build a feature to let instance admins hide that information from regular users.
