WOOOO HALLOWEEN UPDATE!
I'll respond to this with what I said to one of the other AI-enthusiast-non-NMS-players commenting here:
I brought up this topic to gauge the general response from members of this community - I absolutely am not interested in discussing AI content as a concept with AI enthusiasts or other people who are not members of this community.
Also, the example you linked is completely unrelated to No Man's Sky. Unsurprisingly. So that doesn't apply here at all.
HALLOWEEN UPDATE
I BELIEVE IN SPACE HALLOWEEN!
I don't know if by "find" you mean "find on your own", but if not, here are some nice ones I found. The End of Certainty 11F-6 is my love... that glowing red diplo glyph, that circular "magazine" or whatever it is. Beautiful.
Voltaic staffs and Sentinel multi-tools have the best damage stats. Atlantid doesn't perform as well in terms of pure damage.
In practice though that doesn't mean much... if you do competitive PVP, you will probably use the Blaze Javelin anyway, and that'll kill an enemy in the same number of shots regardless of what type of multi-tool you use (as long as it's S-Class). It's like a 4? shot kill so, say you have a total of 4000 HP (I'm just making these numbers up to demonstrate the concept) - it doesn't really matter if each shot does 1,100 or 1,300 points of damage, you're still going to kill them in 4 shots. If you do PVE, you'll be able to easily shred any Sentinels with a fully upgraded multi-tool regardless of what type.
That's just my understanding though. I'm not a dataminer so I'm speaking more from experience than knowledge of the actual values or code.
I don't know the specific stats for the Atlas Sceptre but generally Expedition rewards are relatively middle-of-the-road for their category, so I'd expect Atlas Sceptre to perform like an average Voltaic Staff.
If you're looking for something to do outside of the story, I'd also recommend checking out the Galactic Hub Project civilization! Many end-game players (including me, playing since release night) have found that it adds substantial life into the game.
No worries, that couldn't matter less to me. I brought up this topic to gauge the general response from members of this community - I absolutely am not interested in discussing AI content as a concept with AI enthusiasts or other people who are not members of this community. You're right about that part.
If you don't have any actual background in music - I certainly don't - I recommend using the TheoryTab portion of Hooktheory's website. It puts it in a format almost exactly identical to the Bytebeat interface. Some songs don't translate well, but others translate very well.
I can't help you with the Waveform Modulator, though. That one, I just mess around with it until it sounds good... although come to think of it, I know a few actual musicians who take the same approach lol.
I was able to make a really good version of "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas. However, I tried making "Happy X-Mas (War is Over)" by John Lennon and it didn't translate very well because the Bytebeat really can't do the jingle-bell noise at all.
The other thing you can use it for is logic. For example, creating a series of scrolling lights (maybe for Christmas lights or an 8bit light display, idk) is much easier when you use a Bytebeat and Bytebeat Switches rather than trying to create logic circuits to accomplish everything.
It's not a paradigm shift. It's the developing standard for the non-corporate internet in general. As you are not a member of this community, I will not be replying to you further.
Okay, then it's "a meme" which the vast majority of this community would like to see enforced as a rule. That changes nothing.
If we can't tell it's AI, then don't worry about it! (Everyone can always tell.)
It doesn't need to make sense to you. You aren't active in this community. This post was specifically to solicit the opinions of community members, which you are not. Thus your opinion was not solicited and is not desired. (And yes, this is the internet, you can offer it anyway, if you're into wasting your time.)
Judging by the multitude of posts on your profile praising AI, I think what you really mean is, "Moderating which doesn't conform to my biases and is therefore bad."
Judging by this rule announcement receiving an overwhelmingly positive reaction, I think the majority of this community does not share in your bias. "Bad moderating" would be disregarding the actual will of the community.
And on that note, you seem to have never contributed to this, or any other, No Man's Sky community so I'm going to write your opinion off as irrelevant.
(Also important to note here: the capital is just one of the Galactic Hub's systems! We have over 5,000 systems in our space claim in Euclid alone, so you can find your own "rural" area near the crowded capital too!)

The Galactic Hub Project
Largest & Oldest Active Civilization
11,000+ Player Bases, 78,000+ Subreddit Subscribers, 13,000+ Discord Members
The Galactic Hub Project (r/NMSGalacticHub), founded October 2016, is Euclid's multiplayer hotspot. With a greater concentration of players than anywhere else in No Man's Sky, there's no better location to experience Civilized Space gameplay!
A few of our features include:
Chapters - The Galactic Hub has a variety of sub-organizations called Chapters, like the GH Exobiology Corps (focused on fauna), the GH Defense Force (focused on defense & combating griefers), the GH Star League (focused on hosting multiplayer "simulation sports" competitions), & more!
Colonies - In the Hub, colonies are communities of multiple players collaborating in some way. This always includes building bases, which are often built under the same theme. Colonies may be as big as a whole system, or as small as a single trade post. The most active colonies are managed by Governors. Governors are interlopers who volunteer to run a colony. A governor's main focus is keeping their colony active - this often involves writing missions or hosting events for their colonists. Some colonies even have Mayors, which manage even smaller communities known as Territories within a Colony. Anyone may set up their own colony in Hub space and act as a Governor!
Multiplayer Events - From laid-back Social Nights to the NMS take on eSports Star League, the Galactic Hub has multiplayer social events nearly every week - sometimes multiple each week. Come meet your neighbors!
Economy - The GH has its own native currency, HubCoin. It is rewarded exclusively for activity representing the Galactic Hub on various platforms (Reddit, Discord, Wiki, YouTube). HubCoin is never available for sale for dollars, pounds, etc - "real world money" is never required or involved. HubCoin is used to facilitate a metagame economy. For example, to earn coin, players can open their own Businesses with in-game locations in Hub space. To spend coin, players might browse our Discord server's Marketplace and buy goods like custom ships, custom companions, services-of-convenience (ie construction materials), or even 100%-free real-world Hub merch. (Real-world merch availability may vary.)
Canonization - Hello Games was kind enough to canonize the Galactic Hub. In other words, we're official in-game content! The "Pilgrim" title can only be unlocked by visiting our old capital planet, New Lennon. Our emblem can be purchased at the QuickSilver store as a base decal or player banner. We're also referenced in the Mission Board and the dialogue of a Traveller, as well as being referenced in the Waking Titan ARG!
That's just a quick look at some of our features. We also have interactions with other civilizations, we're a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers, and much more - but above all else, what really defines the Galactic Hub is our thriving and friendly community. Join us and find your new home in the stars!
Atlantid Multi-tools can only be obtained if you have already

completed the Autophage storyline.
Found just outside of Galactic Hub space
I was thinking that Worlds 2 could potentially be creepy enough to be the Halloween update
but I'm happy with this too
