Leo's Book

[Spiral Wizard]

@Leo Gura you could open a mega thread about your book if you'd like. 

You know we'd love to see the outline whenever you'd want to give a sneak peek, right?

A bit of feedback on the snippet you shared - if you are open to it: 

Really consider your language and let yourself be coached by GPT to make it as non-threatening as possible. I'd say the snippet you shared is already so provocative that most scientists and normal people would be put off by it. Like really, really start at the basics with non-threatening examples so a newbee can think 'ahh, this makes sense and I see how it would be beneficial to keep reading' before you slap their ego with truth in the face. 

If you are not only writing this book for your fan base but want to reach a broader audience and actually change people's minds, you will have to start A LOT SOFTER or more considerately.

Aside from changing the approach and content, even just changing words from your minds to our minds can make a big difference. At least, when making general statements like our minds tend to self-deceive. 

You will have to play into some generally appreciated social virtues, like humility, etc. at least initially, if you don't want to lose 90% of people. 

 

Anyway, awesome that you are working on it now actively!

Well, that's certainly not intended as the intro. The early part of the book will not throw any bombs at science.

@Leo Gura ai will help you a lot probably to write your ideas down and create a book.

I hope it comes out soon !

@OBEler I will not use any AI.

I don't know that myself. It's very hard to estimate how much time a book like this will take. It's not like any typical book and I have many other work obligations besides this book, including videos, courses, blogs. It has to be good, not fast.

That’s like asking a pregnant woman for the delivery time

Those are not the questions, those are not the questions...

The question that is in my mind is the structure of the book, the topics, and the throughline. What is the message of the book? I'd be curious to know the title as well, but most of the times it comes after writing it.

I personally hate this way of thinking, as in trying to make everyone happy. When you try to cater to everyone, with all different kinds of backgrounds, beliefs and sensibilities, you end up making something bland (see marvel movies for example) that usually ends up making no one happy. 

Instead I think if you're going to make something, make it niche and focused. Make it something you're passionate about. Those that will resonate with will love it, those that are not at that level will not, and that's okay.

Of course.

I felt really disappointed after you teased us many times about the courses and delayed it. But I understand that it has to be great. So it might be better to not give any estimates for the book.

[Skanderb]

@Leo Gura Can you give us an update about the course ?

Do you plan to release sometimes this year new videos especially more practical topics or epistemic? 

I miss those gems

I seriously do not understand this or the “thanks God” comments. 
You can use AI to do so many things and improve the quality of any book so much, that I am not seeing 1 reason to not use AI.
If the writer wants to completely write the book it is ok, but AI can do infinite more tasks than that to improve the quality of the book. 
Is it based in ideology, survival instincts, or paradigm lock? 
Maybe I have a blind side I am not aware of, but it is like saying that I will not use the internet to write my book ?!? 
 

 

PS: Leo is one of my highest influences, and I am really excited to read his book!

There is very good reason.

This book is written by a higher intelligence than AI. Subordinating higher intelligence to lower intelligence is a mistake that leads to inferior results.

The whole point of the book is the intelligence behind it. I don't need an AI making any creative decisions for me.

And don't forget, anything you feed to AI is instantly stolen by the AI company. You are giving them all your copyright like a fool.

    It depends on your subscription plan. From what I understand, you can’t email the book to anyone, since the provider could intercept and steal its contents in the same way. 

 

    As for your argument, I hadn’t considered it that way. Is this a form of channeling your higher self? If so—and since you’re not channeling the entire book at once—it may still be helpful to ask questions about the work’s purpose and audience, and perhaps adjust its structure accordingly, for example. Nonetheless, I don’t have direct experience of that higher intelligence so I do not understand it. 

 

    I appreciate that you feel no one needs to review a text coming from higher intelligence. However, when you emphasize that no AI was involved, readers without access to that higher intelligence will applaud your approach—yet, if they were writing a book themselves, they’d almost certainly seek an external human review, which makes no sense. It is important for them to clarify that you are not using AI because you’re accessing a higher intelligence, and if they don’t have access to it, they are missing very important  human capital.
