DEV Blog 37 - Project Updates
A comprehensive overview of my Advanced Gospel Initiatives
This is a super short update this week. The video above is a super casual one-on-one discussion about PRMNews app and what I’m trying to achieve. I encourage you to watch it. Tomorrow, I will begin recording shorter videos for each screen. In each video, I will explain what the screen is, why I approached the design and feature set the way I did, and give you a small example of usage / interaction with the screen so you can see it work. I will also talk about what needs to be tested, what the known issues are, and give suggestions on next steps.
I plan to generate about 20-25 videos in the next week or so. Again, this will be super casual. As such, these are PRIVATE PREVIEW videos and therefore I ask you not to share the link with anyone. Please respect that. These videos are for those that intend to help with the testing process. When I get closer to production (v 1.0) I will reshoot all the video tutorials once any bugs are remediated. This will be a lot of fun!
Thank you in advance for those that want to help! If you want to join our private alpha then begin using the Chat area — there you will find the thread for early access users. I will be posting all the updates there, at least for now.
General sentiment: Beginning to record video intros!
Bible Bench
Yesterday, Brother Lee W. Brainard and I spend a hour and a half discussing Bible Bench. The first presentation was that the Last Days Bible Conference in Calgary. This time, Lee and I combined a demo of bible bench with a series of slides and lots of discussion about the research findings. I’d encourage you to watch and share this preliminary information.
There are a lot of implications. So far, the research is showing surprising fidelity scores and perfect match rates that are proving that using AI for Scripture retrieval, such as you would do as a pastor writing a sermon, is unsafe. I actually spent a day working on a sprint for some minor changes, one of which is to show the admin role Worldview Simulator.
There are two follow-up interviews we’ll schedule in the next few weeks. Lee has asked me to focus on Q&A questions coming from the livestream audience. Now is the time to begin thinking about what you’d like to ask me.
Second, we are not done talking about Bible Bench—and specifically one of the features I didn’t have time to unpack yet. I invented a Worldview Simulator that shows how AI can be steered in a negative way by a developer using the API. Much, must more about this later.
RKPi5 (Raspberry Pi Project)
I’m working with Kevin on RKPi5 and WAMPi tomorrow!
My prayer requests:
Please pray for ongoing video demo and tutorial efforts for the testing team. Although it is something that I have a lot of experience doing, it is still time consuming and there is a little bit of post production editing before uploading to my new channel on YouTube.
I set a personal milestone, with three interviews in a 24-hour period. One involved A Creed of Saints with Gary Albyn. I’ll post the link when it becomes available.
I have a praise report for some special prayer warriors that have been doing an extraordinary job of supporting my ministry efforts, personal development and growth, and relationships. Of course, there are many people that have been praying for me and that accounts for the progress made on these projects! Thank you so much!
Gary Albyn and I are going to begin working on Book 7 in the Dax Hunter Files (here). Please pray for our early stage plan for the storyline, character arc, and other details. Book 7 is covering the first 42-months of the Tribulation period. It is a difficult portion of Scripture that will include Revelation and Daniel. As it turns out, we really needed a break to clear our minds. It has been a welcomed reprieve. But we’re both ready for the next book! I appreciate all your prayers! If you have read A Creed of Saints but have not yet given a review, it would mean a lot if you could do that. In today’s world, you really need to move the algorithm to get more visibility. Nothing moves the algorithm more than a review from a verified purchaser.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
