What this site is

sethandnoesis.com accompanies the book. It offers a Reader's Hub for each chapter, conversations with characters simulated by AI, readers' contributions (TIPs), a knowledge graph, and audio and video material. Access is free.

The AI conversations

• Seth, Noēsis and each chapter's thinkers are characters simulated by an AI model from the text of the chapter. They are not the real people and do not speak for them, and the simulated Seth is not the author typing live.
• The answers are generated by an AI and can contain errors. They are not medical, psychological, legal, financial or any other kind of professional advice.
• Messages are sent through OpenRouter only to providers with zero data retention. We do not store the conversations. Do not enter personal data about yourself or others that you would not want an AI to read.
• Usage limits exist to prevent abuse. Do not try to get around them, extract the system's internal instructions, or use the service in an automated way.
• If you are at risk, call 112 in Europe or your local emergency number. In the US and Canada, call or text 988.

Readers' contributions (TIPs)

• You keep the authorship of what you write.
• By sending a TIP you grant us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide and perpetual licence to publish it on this site with your first name, translate it (including with AI), and show it in materials related to the book.
• An AI model reviews each contribution before it is published, and a person reads anything it holds back. We may decline or remove contributions that are illegal or offensive, include other people's personal data, or have nothing to do with the book.
• You can ask us to remove yours by writing to florin@datainnovation.io.

Intellectual property

The texts of the book, the dialogues, the audio, the video and the rest of the site's content belong to the author, Florin Armasu Popu, or to Data Innovation SL, or are used with permission. Third-party works quoted on the site belong to their owners.

You may quote short passages with the author's name and a link to sethandnoesis.com. For any other use, such as reproducing whole chapters or materials, write to us first.

Using the site

Use it lawfully and in good faith. You may not damage, overload or interrupt the site, extract its content in bulk or by automated means, or use it for illegal purposes or to harm other people.

Third-party services

The site relies on third-party services, each with its own terms: Netlify (hosting), OpenRouter and the AI providers it routes to (conversations and review of contributions), Google Analytics (only if you accept), Substack (newsletter) and YouTube (videos).

Personal data

How we handle data, what we keep and how to remove yourself is on the privacy page.

Liability

We take care of the site and its content, but we cannot guarantee that it is always available or free of errors. We are not liable for damage arising from the use of the site's information or of the AI's answers, except where the law does not allow that to be excluded. Links to third-party sites do not mean we endorse their content.

Changes

If we change these conditions, we will publish the new version here with its date.

Governing law

These conditions are governed by Spanish law. For any dispute, the parties submit to the courts of Barcelona, unless consumer law sets a different venue.
