Using actualized.org video summaries with an llm that you talk to frequently

[DMM710]

Recently I've been messing around with this summary feature on Leo's YouTube videos. For example, I summarized the 3 survival videos, copy pasted each into ChatGPT who I've talked to extensively about personal development related things, and asked it to point out what survival strategies I might have. I was thinking you could summarize the "life is a maze" video, and ask it to help me figure out specific things might help with your specific situation. Or maybe the how to contemplate video. Ask what things to contemplate, and how it might look like for whatever thing you're trying to contemplaye. I Feel like there are a lot of interesting possibilities with this feature. Has anyone else messed around with this summary feature at all?

it depends on the prompt and instructions you give it. the more detailed the better. 
I've been using it for this specific scenario and God damn how much does it amplify my understanding and how much i get from those videos. 

since all of Leo's videos are almost all connected to each other, the best technique i use so far is taking the transcript of 3 or 4 videos, give them to AI and tell it to pull from them and synthesize the information in them in order for me to understand or make sense of something. 

I end up articulating the insights so much better and clearer and coming up with new ones after connecting so many dots. 

for example, i took the transcripts of 4 videos: 

1.Self-Love - The Highest Teaching In The Universe
2.Overcoming Addiction - The Root Cause Of Every Addiction
3.How To Deal With Loneliness - Especially While Self-Actualizing
4.Spiral Dynamics - Stage Yellow

and told it to help me understand connection and what does it mean to be happy on your own without needing human connection and how one can regulate their nervous system without co-regulation. 
I gave it context of my life, context of what got me to be curious about that, constraints, gave it instructions on how to speak, level of depth, style, what to do and what not to do...etc.

so many dots connected in one conversation, and i kept getting insights over and over after days from just that conversation.

Of course i watched all those videos before, this just amplifies their value.

I had this idea to write a python script that loops over each video, transcribing it, splitting it into chunks, and using it for RAG. Imagine a chatbot that has access to everything leo ever said across all of his videos. I wonder if that would work, or if something more targetted like we're kinda talking about here already does a better job

@DMM710 yeah it would be like talking to a version of Leo himself. so many business owners, consultants, experts... already do that, they make a a digital avatar and feed it all the knowledge they have and sell it to people as a chatbot they can ask questions and stuff. i don't know how efficient it is though.

Damn yeah that makes sense. Interesting for sure, but hard to justify the time investment when it could just end up being bad. Maybe one day

I think it would be valuable in a quiz format since Leo is not available to talk to all the time but an AI with the content that you could talk to is well the future of all coaching and education I believe. Be careful with simple summarization though, that's more like bastardization than a smart way to interact with the content. I once shared something from the Lean Startup by Eric Ries in a business chat that I run. One of the guys just sent me a chatGPT summary with top 5 key points from the book and said look bro i know that this talks about I don't need to read it. 

Needless to say that guy is struggling in business.
