Thank you for sharing. This is a wonderful experiment and I think this concept has a lot of potential.

It's a Bible reference. Jesus supposedly said that "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family". When you grew up with someone everything will be colored by your past experience with them. You remember all the grandiose stupid things they said in the past. If they are saying actually wise things now you will not believe them as much as you should. On the other hand if they are…
I'm failing to see how this Bible story is related to the aforementioned truism, which seems to actually _contradict_ the story.
I guess the connection is that when you're far away from home you can project an aura of confidence/respectability that you may not have at home where people know you since the days you were not yet an expert.
Of course people can't be born experts and for every expert there must be a prior step in their personal growth when they were less expert. But that doesn't prevent people from using an imperfect heuristic for judging whether you can trust someone's expertise.

#43As usual with these things: it is impressive that stuff like this can be generated so quickly at all, but the content is very superficial and often wrong or at least misleading. It's unusable for learning, but great for spamming platforms, just like NotebookLM for instance. As an example, I asked about the Cantor function. It generated a 1:24 video, which is laughably short, explained correctly how the Cantor set is…
It will happily explain non existing concepts as well: https://tma.live/video/26c9fec7-3bb7-42e5-837f-617fd5659f70

I asked a history question - tell me about Reddy kings rule. It made up a physics rule and started talking about electrons.

Perhaps it's possible that it's just not a reference to the bible in the first place?

It's possible. I don't know. Sometimes people just come up with the same ideas over and over.
Classic example is the pyramid structures around the world. The fact that people found that it's easy to pile rocks that way in order to build tall stable structures doesn't mean that there was a single culture that span the entire globe.

#47Can I ask from curiosity how long it took you to program and design this entire project?
Hmm the initial version of the app only took me about a day to get something working, but that version took minutes to generate a single video and even then only worked a third of the time. It took a solid 2 weeks from there to add all the edge cases to the prompt to increase reliability, add GPU rendering and streaming to improve performance/latency, and shore up the infra for scaling.
Thank you!
