Prof Ray

I have been around here for a while, but I realized I’ve never really introduced myself properly and I think this is the right time to do that. I am Prof Ray. I work around Web3 as a social media manager, content creator and community guy. I also write and research about protocols and break down complex things in a way that makes them easier to understand. Right now, I am expanding beyond just contents and web3, learning Email marketing, exploring AI beyond the surface level while I keep building and not just talk. You will mostly see me talking about Web3, AI, Bittensor, projects I am researching, and things I am learning along the way.

Rewarded TestDrive of MiniMax Design by @Hailuo_AI with @testdriveso Tried MiniMax Design on Windows and used it to turn a simple idea into a 6-second video. What caught my attention was how the agent expanded my short prompt into a detailed shot plan before generating the clip. The final video got most of what I wanted right, from the red candles turning green to the camera movement. It wasn't perfect though. Some details, like the RUN AGENT text placement and the size of the robot hand, missed my instructions. Still, I enjoyed seeing how much of the video creation process it could handle from one prompt.

Rewarded TestDrive of The Arena by @emaann28 with @testdriveso Tried out The Arena and joined a few live product battles. I liked that I could quickly check out two projects, pick the one I found more interesting and cast my vote without any hassle. It also made me curious to see which projects were leading and how other people were voting. One thing I would love to see is more active matchups and a wider range of projects. Some duels seem to stay open for a long time, which takes away some of the excitement of having a winner. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. The idea is simple, but seeing products compete for people's votes makes it more engaging.

I am glad I got to be part of @testdriveso from the beginning. Seeing how far it has come is a great milestone, not just for the team but for the testers too. One thing I genuinely enjoy about TestDrive is the chance to discover and try different products while they are still early. Since joining, I have tested several apps and platforms, and some have become tools I still enjoy visiting. Trezio and 4ToSpeak are two examples. I probably wouldn't have discovered them this early without TestDrive. I also like that it gives testers a chance to interact with real products, form their own opinions and share their experiences. For me, that is what makes TestDrive valuable.

Rewarded TestDrive of TwinFold by @himanshutwtxs with @testdriveso I like how TwinFold shows you which duplicate files are taking up space before you decide what to do with them. What stood out to me is that it uses APFS clones to reduce storage usage without breaking the original files. For example, developers with several projects may have the same packages repeated across different folders. One thing I would improve is the first time setup, especially explaining how to handle the macOS security warning. Useful for Mac users who want to save space without deleting files they still need.

Rewarded TestDrive of Sidefleet by @marklaunches with @testdriveso What I like about Sidefleet is how it lets me send coding tasks from my browser to an agent running on my own machine. I also like that tasks can run in separate git worktrees, making it easier to keep different coding jobs organized. One thing I'd love to see is clearer feedback on task progress and errors, so it's easier to know what's happening without checking manually. A useful tool for anyone working with coding agents. @marklaunches

High time to join rarelist and create to earn.

Tried @4ToSpeak by @lublubxt today, starting Spanish from zero. I liked that I wasn't just reading new words and moving on. I had to translate them, listen, type them, and finally pronounce them myself. The speaking test was a nice touch because it showed me where I got each word right or needed to improve. One thing I'd like to see is more full sentences as the lessons progress. A fun way to get started with a new language. @testdriveso

When everyone is long on $TAO, why won't you be? I am long $TAO and love bittensor's focus on scaling AI

Tried Playground by Google Labs for a rewarded TestDrive with @testdriveso. I had to use a VPN from Nigeria to access it, and my uploaded character didn't load as expected. What impressed me was how quickly it turned my written description into a playable game. I could also refine the character when the first design missed the mark. My takeaway: be ready to describe what you want in detail, because your first result might not match your vision. Pretty interesting tool to experiment with!

Can an AI tool turn a simple idea into something you’d actually want to show people? I put Google AI Studio to the test with @testdriveso, and I like how it lets you build on an idea instead of stopping at the first result. What stood out to me is the ability to refine the output with follow-up prompts. You don't have to accept everything the AI gives you on the first try. I'd still like to see how well it handles more complex instructions, but the speed of going from an idea to a working project is worth exploring. Definitely one to experiment with if you enjoy building with AI.

I tested Google flow music, a rewarded testdrive Ai product and I couldn't get what I want from it. I didn't particularly get it straight as I was trying to generate a music video but it was giving me a different result. A video was generated separately while the music was generated separately. There should be more upgrade to this in order to allow users generate what they want simply and once without stress. I tested this out on @testdriveso platform

Trying out a rewarded testdrive of a new AI product, I created a flying car just like the Tesla launched by Elon through Google flow and it wasn't bad. After going back and forth with Google flow, I was able to get what I wanted using @testdriveso car PNG to generate my video. It was easy inputing the image and the prompt at once but I got a different result at first before getting the right one

I checked out @canva dream lab that was posted on @testdriveso for a genuine user review and I can say this is cool. I dropped a simple prompt in the canvas lab using testdrive Car PNG to generate a 3d floating car in a 3d city and the result was amazing. The most amazing part is that I was given multiple choices to choose from the result generated. It was so simple to use and direct without any problem

I am curious about where AI video creation is heading, so I checked out AgentCut. What I find useful is the idea of using a coding agent to turn a prompt into a video while keeping the timeline and layers editable. That gives you room to work on the result instead of starting every scene from scratch. One thing I would like to see is more precise control over scene duration and transitions, so the final video can match the original idea better. Interesting work, @deifosv.
