This is so cool. How are you going to simulate Michel's longing for Provence? Seriously though I adore the trilogy. I started a Mars storymapping project which incorporated Underhill, Senzeni Na, the Moholes etc. a little while back too:

My go-to SSID will always be "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--". For all others I just use a ship name from The Culture universe[0] like "Of Course I Still Love You" or "Just Read the Instructions".
My SSID similarly used to be "Two For Flinching" :)

Yeah because I think it’s a seriously good idea. Making knowledge and science somewhat addictive is a cool goal
I could see myself using that
It is a cool goal... but I don't think it's a realistic one.

I thought the scroll didn’t work at first, apparently only the bottom of the screen is scrollable. I see other comments talking about a voice, I don’t have it, just the music? Also the content is really irrelevant and uninteresting (I’m assuming it uses a random article? It should aim for the most popular instead), it really needs some curation.
The subtitles are also hard to read, they should be displayed sentence by sentence, not word by word.
IMO you didn’t capture what makes some interesting content work on TikTok. The scientific content on TikTok doesn’t have the brainrot music, it’s just interesting because of the short format. It looks to me like a clone of TikTok made by someone who hates TikTok and built it out of assumptions on what TikTok is.
Honestly interesting Wikipedia articles summarized as TikTok content is a killer idea, but the implementation is not there yet
I think you are taking this more seriously than the creator. It's just a bit of fun.
And how did you know I sold storytelling course before, did I mention it somewhere?
You mention it on your Wordpress.
Those pictures photoed by me and my parents,I did use LLM to translate, cause my english is not good enough to write a long article.
I apologise. I write too and I've been bothered by LLM-generated content masquerading as the work it takes to tell an effective narrative. It was the combination of generated responses in the comments alongside what I thought was a generated image that set me off, but I was clearly being far too militant.
