After reading some of the Epstein emails, I was compelled to look in Constella Intelligence and Spycloud for exposed passwords tied to Epstein's email address: Would you believe he reused the password "Ghislaine"? If he didn't tell all his secrets, he probably leaked them inadvertently through […]

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #ai and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
