Yeah, a book as successful as Superintelligence could do a lot. Once the LW team implements the ability to download my LW post/comment history, I’ll check how far a modern LLM can get with turning it into a book. (@habryka) Unfortunately the thought of writing a whole book by hand does not fill me with motivation, so it would have to be a shortcut like this, or someone else writing it.
You can already download your own post/comment history with some work using graphql: just download all posts ever, then select comments by you on any post. I happen to already be most of the way through setting this up for Stampy Chat, I can query out your posts if you like. Eta 1w or less.
A successful book or paper that covered them all should reach a lot of them.
