Humans have tried twice to ghost-write a book by me, integrating 20 years of my online blog posts. One of them was a former editor of Scientific American. One was an Estonian journalist. Both gave up.

With long-context window LLMs, it should be possible to use my writings as the input prompt, and voila. In the meantime, at an AI gathering, Reid Hoffman gave me one, written by his ghost in the machine.

P.S. thanks to the compilation work of Kevin Gee, we have 427 pages of my material in one place to feed the beast: here

    👍 A compelling generative application of Top thinkers’ style (remake).

    Envision a flexible digital paper cover, interactive and seamlessly interconnected with personal and/or/xor smart home LLM enabled, potentially incorporating Human-Feedback in the (vintage) paper book. This would constitute a reinvention of the traditional paper book 😄… capable of sensing and interpreting the reader’s gestures and emotional responses during the act of natural reading and page-flipping.
