Is there a way to crowdsource editing this into better english? I mean I've never seen a book length wiki.

It is good idea. But anyway booklenth format is obsolete - that is why sequenses in LW is more popular then earlier booklenth Creating Friendly AI. So for the book it is better to be cut on wiki pages of chapter lenth. Another problem is luck of interest - I could create such wiki but most likely nobody would visit it. Anyway may be I should create it and invite people to try and add information.

What about editing and releasing chapters as posts on LW for discussion as each chapter is completed?

I have tried to do this in 2011 then I suggetsed sequence «moresafe« but there was some mistakes in grammer and formating and it was extesively downvoted. Also people claim that existential risks is not right theme for LW or simply disagree with my point opf view on some topics. Downvoting as instrument of communication is emotionly hurting me and I feel less encourage to post again. So, I decided to post rare and only if I have high quality text.
