A Radical New Video Platform : REBL
A Radical New Video Platform : REBL
We just backed a very exciting startup that’s about to disrupt the online video industry.
The past decade the media has taken a nosedive as huge tech companies are taking over. Algorithms promote divisive content, users get manipulated into rabbit holes and there’s zero transparency.
That’s why it’s so refreshing to see something completely different like REBL (rebl.tv) come to the scene. They’re transparent, crowdfunded and have a decentralized discovery system that puts viewers in charge of the content, not the algorithm.
There’s no ads, no product placements and no branded content. It’s just a vibrant community of creators and their fans producing thousands of videos in all kinds of genres and styles.
One of their coolest features is a decentralized animation studio, which allows thousands of creators to collaborate from anywhere in the world. This can bring content to a whole new level where it’s still Indie and unique but also high production value.
Rebl will be funded by a mix of monthly subscriptions, direct fan support and crowdfunded productions. They’re even planning a trading platform for video shares where viewers can make money by investing in their favorite content.
Rebl is launching a Kickstarter in a couple weeks where they offer exclusive lifetime subscriptions and other great perks. They currently have a $1 pre-launch campaign on Rebl.tv with ridiculously good deals.
So check it out and let's help them make this happen together. We already got ours!
AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
