chat interactions?

@simon I think there’s a feeling of “genuineness” from streaming it, like doing a live demo, that is different from a pre-recorded video.

@simon only meaningful difference is, when you stream, you usually have a chat open and take questions live while you're doing it.

@simon
The major difference I could see with live-streaming is that people could ask interactive questions, like "why do you use xyz in the prompt?" I generally prefer edited prerecorded videos, but I understand people are different.

@simon Everyone saying question interaction, sure. But I think a big part of it is you are forced to do it start to finish, bumps along the way.

@simon

I tend to think of learning while watching someone stream as the kind of learning I'd get while watching a friend in college work through a homework problem or a project.

You don't just learn about the problem, but you see someone work through it, and you see where someone starts, how they approach it, and how they work around obstacles.

@simon >Is there a meaningful difference here between streaming and a pre-recorded video?

Streaming -> self promotion -> increasing own value.
By gaining "attention" to self using streaming - you also gain "trust of audience" - and at some "critical mass" - streaming can become your job replacement where you just manipulate audience that "trust" you.
And real time "interaction" with audience - is core of "getting audience".

@simon and here I thought you were talking about the streaming interface of LLM Chatbots 😅

Fantastic replies! Thank you all, I think I get it now: it’s about getting to see someone genuinely work through problems in real time, and having the opportunity to chat with them while they do it

Makes sense - I might give it a go!

@simon

Maybe this misspelled screaming.
