I always think that Vance looks like an Edvard Munch painting. Can’t think why.

Seriously if we had a tax for every time a tech billionaire pulls some text from antiquity and just fails to understand the basics of the myth… we could have healthcare for all.

I would like you all to remember that many of the writers for this paper also have strong feelings about you not voting for Cuomo.

Here we have Epstein explaining how to get Woody Allen’s legal team to release film footage shot by… well just think about who this is…. You will figure out who it is. If you wrote this satire down, you would be laughed at for the improbability…..

Here’s a little gem that I love because it shows how manipulated we are online and how little it costs. Here Epstein complains about spending $10K a month for on PR to deal with his ahem “critics”. This is in 2010.

Typically with a document like this it will be barred from easy OCR, so you then need to create a clean copy. Printed it as a new PDF. But save it as a PDF/A. This will fix the fundamental problem of image compression that makes the OCR unable to read the document (usually).

The result is Binder 1 of Volume 1. You need to note the final page of volume 1, in this case document 928.

For historians. I’d like to use the Epstein files as a way of showing you how to conduct forensic analysis using OCR and Ai. Here we see a tranche of documents from the US Congress. You download that as a zip. Each file is one page. I find it easiest to combine them into single volumes first.

I’m sorry but the rehabilitation of MTG is not possible simply because she recently discovered that her heart pumps blood, that her lungs do in fact release carbon dioxide, and that her liver stores sugar for our bleak future. She’s decided to pull a Reverse Stefanik and call it a moral compass.

You seem to be eliding, perhaps decently, the painful fact that we have no more real explanation of how Broca’s area produces speech than we do how LLMs end up making choices when, say, all options are equally good. As for instance:

My good fellow, there are all kinds of things that are unable to do what the human brain does that are still brains. And many of those things have a great deal to teach us about human brains. Some are quite analogous like the leech ganglion. Others are metaphorical, like the computer.

The future
is not cyborgs.
Its claptrap.
#Bionics @
nanoscale.
Listening.
Algorithmic
tech in
heart,

It’s Ayahuasca
Mech elves.
All extracting value
for a datacenter
to drink water
and vomit carbon
as invasives
gobble up
wildfire landscape,
making the
commute
longer.

No Ai is going to duplicate the sheer intensity and total joy of an amazing curated product. But even if it could do it once, the next time it tried, the product would start becoming formulaic. It is our essence to be interesting that creates the inexhaustible continuity of human beings.
