Our content is text, not MP4 files. So we review it with humans and AI, just like how software companies review their software. We may make mistakes, but that's okay because we maintain the content. We continuously improve it and fix issues as we find them.
It'll even become more accurate than cam-recorded lecture videos over time, because those aren't being updated.
Everything I do is driven by a single goal: to make my startup successful so I can innovate in edtech. Nothing else.
You may not believe me, and you may think I have ulterior motives, but I don't. My only goal is to build technology that meaningfully advances education.
First, I need to make my startup successful so I can continue innovating over the next 15 years. Open-sourcing our work could be a distraction at this stage. Maintaining an open-source project requires significant time and effort.
It would also make it easier for competitors to build products that compete directly with us, such as https://studio.academa.ai. That would make it harder for my startup to succeed.
I'm not building this for the sake of making money. I simply need enough protected space to innovate competitively and give the company the best chance to succeed. If it does, I'll be able to keep building and pushing education forward for years to come.
These are 14 hours of video, so it's easy to find mistakes. We've probably made plenty of them. But this isn't AI slop.
We created the technology so that the content can be updated and improved over time. If we make mistakes, we'll fix them and continue maintaining the material. These aren't static MP4 files recorded once with a camcorder.
I couldn't agree more. But if you look at it from this perspective, you may understand why we use static videos for this demo.
Definition: the AI tutor is some AI that can generate these videos.
If that generation happens in real time, it's a complete reimagination of education. It's literally the AI private tutor.
But before you can do that in real time, ask yourself: let alone real time, can you even generate a video, let's say, in 30 minutes? That's what we explored, and we found some great things. But it's not real time yet. The only practical way to publish what we'd built, though, was as a static video paired with chat.
The complete reimagination of education is on the way.
We have an in-house computer graphics pipeline. We reimplemented 3Blue1Brown's Manim in Rust from scratch. It is available at https://studio.academa.ai. The renderer runs in the browser using WebGPU.
"Why is that? How could that be? The answer is because customers don't form their opinions on quality from marketing. They form their opinions on quality from their own experience with the products or services."
This sounds to me like saying: "if poverty has decreased, everyone should be able to buy a 40m yacht."
We can now simply buy an artificial form of intelligence to solve intellectual problems. That doesn't mean we can buy our way into solving every problem in a week.
Building Photoshop or Excel still has a huge intellectual cost. We can use AI to help us get there, but it won't be free, it's just getting marginally cheaper.
