Congratulations. You are an echo chamber for LLMs. Use it to create, and verify, and post to then be scraped and trained on again.

Open engine factory, stuff is flowing opposite direction of the conveyor belt it’s on. 100% accurate!

Really neat idea, I think it is one of the best ways to exploit the combined building and explaining capabilities of LLMs. I am currently building an app/game to explain friends and family concepts around wealth management and wealth building. Games are a great way to hide complexity while still including it in the « guide » you are making.

i looked at the animations, they look cool, and i don't think i will enjoy learning things that way. as someone else said, there's a lot of content already produced on these topics. i also think the level at which these animations are playing, they are actually hiding the 'complexity' of these topics.

this is pretty cool! it feels very good for getting a brief summary/overview of something and getting a beginner's level grasp.

Very cool, I like the visual learning nature of this and the auto play once starting. The game graphics are engaging which counts for a lot these days, I feel my attention span suffering after using agents for the past year.

I've been working on a similar process of pushing to github pages, but focused more on having "practice sessions" with coding blocks to test content. Using webassembly and mock servers to mock backend endpoints Here's one I built to build a full stack llm chat system in the browser.

I tend to ask the LLM for a single HTML page explanation, with a pedagogical approach. Something about dropping the word pedagogical leads to a more structured outcome, but I haven't quite figured it out why yet.

haha, I did the same to study new topic and then realized how personalized education will turn out in the near future. The only thing left is keeping a curious mind and ask a lot of questions !!

My favorite way to learn infra topics at work right now is asking for a humorous analogy involving monkeys and bananas. I tend to remember the result, and it gives me reference points for new topics.

Oh, I do similar, but using single page websites.

Last month, I read The Prince and had it make a text adventure campaign for me.

For a lot of other topics, I often just ask it to create a simple python example that I can run.
