If you’ve spent any time on Infinity Rising, you know the roadmap isn’t just a PDF—it’s a rhythm. Weekly beats: partnerships, store weirdness, engine progress, the occasional “leak” that’s obviously on purpose. Cafe Rise on YouTube (same family tree as the old Copi Cafe era) is the long archive you can actually search. Timestamps beat memory.
This page does two things: it gives you the playlist link worth bookmarking, and it documents a tiny daily script we use in this repo if you want one old episode + the newest upload in the same run.
The playlist
Link the corpus, not a random re-upload:
Trailer we reference elsewhere: Infinity Rising trailer.
Why playlists matter
They’re a stable object: same show title, same hosts, piles of episodes. If you’re writing a long explainer, drop the playlist once up top and once in a “sources” block at the bottom. Readers know where to binge; search engines know what entity you’re talking about. Nobody needs ten paragraphs of throat-clearing.
Neighbour links that aren’t competitive
ApeChain for chain-native context, ApeCoin / @apecoin when incentives overlap gaming, G’s on Ape when the story is culture and meetups—not a press release.
Daily workflow (for the nerds)
scripts/cafe-rise-daily.sh reads data/cafe_rise_episodes.json (built from the playlist with yt-dlp) and prints:
- The next episode in playlist order for a slow rotation through the archive.
- The newest episode again every run, so your social cadence can always mention fresh uploads.
./scripts/cafe-rise-daily.sh
Cron (14:00 UTC example):
0 14 * * * cd /path/to/your/news/repo && ./scripts/cafe-rise-daily.sh >> ./var/cafe-rise.log 2>&1
Details: scripts/README-cafe-rise.md. Don’t commit API keys—wire X through your own bot with secrets at runtime.
Refresh metadata after new uploads:
yt-dlp --flat-playlist -J "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_C1s_snklF35ostGz_umFpk6zHPTmNeM" > /tmp/cafe-rise-pl.json
python3 scripts/refresh-cafe-rise-episodes.py /tmp/cafe-rise-pl.json
