On A.I. Tools, Notebook LM, Imagination, and The Dead Internet

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we learn, research, and interact with information. One fascinating tool in this landscape is Notebook LM, Google’s AI-powered research and note-taking assistant. While primarily marketed for academia, it offers incredible value beyond that—helping individuals summarize research papers, YouTube transcripts, PDFs, and more.



In this post, I explore how Notebook LM can aid in understanding complex teachings, such as Neville Goddard’s manifestation techniques. Beyond AI tools, we’ll also discuss the power of imagination in keeping up with technological evolution and touch on ideas like the Dead Internet Theory and AI-generated content.

Notebook LM: A Game-Changer for Learning

Notebook LM is an AI-assisted research tool that helps users extract insights from dense materials. You can upload a document or a YouTube transcript and have the AI summarize key points for you. This is particularly useful when dealing with lengthy lectures or intricate concepts.

For example, I was watching a Neville Goddard lecture on manifestation techniques, but I found myself zoning out during the step-by-step process. Instead of rewatching the video multiple times, I simply extracted the transcript and uploaded it to Notebook LM. By prompting the AI to focus on practical steps, I received a clear, concise audio podcast summary that made the lecture much easier to absorb.

The Role of Imagination in an AI-Driven World

Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and keeping up with every new tool can feel overwhelming. If you try to stay updated purely through technical expertise, you’ll always feel like you’re playing catch-up. Instead, imagination is what allows us to truly grasp and adapt to the direction AI is headed.

As Neville Goddard emphasized, imagination is the key to creation. AI experts, when asked about the future of the field, often respond with science fiction-like predictions—because imagination is at the heart of technological progress. Instead of fearing AI, embracing creativity and conceptual thinking can help us stay ahead.

AI-Generated Content and The Dead Internet Theory

As AI progresses, we’re seeing a surge in AI-generated lectures and discussions. Take Alan Watts, for instance—a philosopher who passed away years ago, yet AI can now generate “new” lectures using his voice and style. While fascinating, this also raises concerns.

The Dead Internet Theory suggests that much of the internet will be run by bots and AI-generated content, rather than real human interactions. While this may sound dystopian, the takeaway is to stay mindful of what we consume online. Tools like Notebook LM should be used to summarize and clarify original materials—not replace them. If possible, always refer back to the source material, whether that’s a religious text, a foundational book, or an original lecture.

Key Takeaways

  • Notebook LM is a powerful AI research tool that helps summarize dense content, making it easier to digest.

  • Imagination is crucial for keeping up with AI advancements—technical expertise alone won’t be enough.

  • AI-generated content is on the rise, with voices like Alan Watts being recreated digitally. This raises ethical and philosophical questions about authenticity.

  • The Dead Internet Theory suggests that AI is overtaking human-generated content—so it’s essential to engage critically with the information we consume.


AI tools like Notebook LM are revolutionizing the way we learn and process information, offering incredible opportunities for both academic and personal growth. However, it’s important to use them as aids, not replacementsfor original thought and understanding. By leveraging AI while maintaining a strong sense of imagination and critical thinking, we can navigate this new digital era with clarity and confidence.

It's Just a Simulation. A Talk on Computers, Dreams and Threads of Thoughts... Part 1

Image
Have you ever felt like life was just… a game? A vivid dream? A digital illusion? In this post, I’m diving into the idea that reality might be a simulation through the lens of personal experience, computer science, lucid dreaming, and the mysterious nature of consciousness. This isn’t about preaching a theory; it’s about sharing thoughts, patterns, and realizations that connect spiritual concepts with digital systems. Buckle up. Simulations exist to study realities without the real-world consequences—weather forecasts, car crashes, architectural drafts. They’re powerful because they help us test possibilities before fully committing. But what if life, as we know it, is a version of that? You’ve probably heard phrases like “chill, it’s just a simulation” or “life is a game.” It sounds playful, but it implies something deeper—this existence may be transient, flexible, not to be taken so seriously. That idea leads us to look at how our minds process reality, and how computers mirror ...

3 Myths My Mom Told Me That Now Make Sense

Image
When I was young, my mom shared a few myths with me that I dismissed as old-fashioned superstition. But as time passed, I found deeper meaning in them—aligning with science, metaphysics, and even the psychology of our subconscious. Here are three myths that once seemed strange but now make a surprising amount of sense. Walking with Resistance Blocks Abundance One of the first myths my mom told me was not to walk while dragging my feet or in a way that conveyed frustration. She believed that walking with resistance chases away good fortune. At the time, I thought it was just another one of those cultural sayings meant to correct my posture. But now, I see the deeper truth behind it. The book   The Science of Getting Rich   discusses how our mindset and energy shape our reality. Moving through life in a certain way—both mentally and physically—attracts success. When we develop a habit of walking with resistance, it subtly conditions our subconscious into the opposite, a state of...

°Flowers, Patterns & Luck. The Kybalion 4th Principle of Polarity

Image
 There’s something enchanting about noticing a flower when you least expect it. It feels like a whisper from the universe—beautiful, unexpected, maybe even lucky. In this reflection, we dive into how flowers, patterns, and the very concept of luck intertwine, all through the lens of the Kybalion’s 4th Principle: Polarity. Using personal insight, esoteric ideas, and spiritual musings, we’ll explore how synchronicity and structure shape our reality—and why noticing a flower might be more than just a coincidence. Patterns in Poetry and Petals Humans are drawn to patterns. Whether in rhymes or the spirals of a sunflower, there’s something innately satisfying about patterns. Poetry, like nature, follows recognizable forms—think rhyme schemes like AABB or ABAB. And in nature, patterns manifest mathematically, most famously in the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… You’ll find it in flower petals, seed spirals, and leaf arrangements. It’s not just beautiful—it’s efficient. Natur...
