Who can we thank for the design? It's seriously impressive!

That credit goes to our designer @Agnes Stenlund! 😊

We hope you enjoy the latest version of Wrapped! Unfortunately we have noticed some bugs around the animations on iPhone 13 models, so if that's your phone we recommend viewing on a different device. Please let us know if you run into any other issues as well.

This is very cool

Huh, this is neat!

My "Forum Personality" is "Beloved Online Karma Farmer"? This confuses me a bit - "karma farmer" typically refers to a fairly pejorative role, from what I can tell. Just FYI, this strikes me as you saying, "We noticed you're using semi-questionable methods to technically gain Karma, but it's not as bad as it normally would be." Is this meant to be like a semi-playful dig, without as negative a spin? Was there a system that determined that I gained Karma in over-rated ways? Sorry if I'm newish to some of this terminology.

Toby's the one who decided on the personalities and he's currently on vacation, but they are all meant to be silly/playful and none of the personalities are intended to be read negatively. It's a bit we added this year for fun! I also got "karma farmer"[1] — the farmer in the picture seems to me to be doing honest work. :)

Thanks for flagging this. My apologies if we made anyone feel bad; we'll try to be more careful with our jokes in the future.

    Basically that just means you gained a lot of karma.

Not a biggie, I mainly just found it confusing.

The EA Forum/LessWrong codebase is open source, you can see it just means that your karma change for 2024 was >= 500

(And beloved means that the most common reaction was receiving hearts)

I liked the cute animation I got for karma farming https://res.cloudinary.com/cea/video/upload/v1734615259/wrapped-2024/Karma-farmer-green.mp4
