For the ones like me that googled what [AMA](https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/AMA) means, it isn’t _Afghan Medical Aid_ neither _Asociacion Modelos Argentinas_ or _Asian Motorcycle Adventures_ but **Ask Me Anything**.

Thanks for the clarification, @hugopl 😅 ! I’m _definitively_ not planning to model 🤣

We’ll post details soon, but basically we’ll be taking questions from the community (that is, **you** ) either in Zoom or Discord, and post them to core team members and industry people who are running Crystal in production.

Why (auto)CC still not available? i don’t know how Youtube generate English subtitles, but, i guess it should be generated because 24 hours have passed？

EDIT: if we can re-upload to make auto cc works?

How can Crystal not be good, if we took the design from God itself? 😂  
Still, for the minutes I watched it’s easy to get pass these little AI mistakes.
