Look up the word allegory. You're not a character in the allegory.

We could be building chatbot clones of Cicero or Samuel Pepys or even an asshole-genius like Feynman. But that's all too good for us, we don't deserve goo things; we get dead pedophile bankers instead.

butt aren't you getting enough goo things during breakfast?

I took a close look at the November document drop, which had some iChat backups. He really did text kind of like an imbecile. The tone is in his emails too.

The stupidest people are the most confident, the most confident people run our society . Take note, HN. You might change the world by simply believing in yourself a little.

One interesting contrast is in his emails with Noam Chomsky, who wrote in complete paragraphs.

Characters like that are available through system prompts on any LLM. Unfortunately I find the tone of the prose doesn't change much from one author to another, it's still very chatgptlike, but sprinkles in references to the topics the author might go on about.

Also there's not really evidence epstein was a banker, no one knows who was financing his operation or why millionaires would add to his portfolio without any expectation of returns, since, the money was never actually invested in anything

I think the absurdity is the whole point.

Likely, but it's just as absurd to think you'd get anything of value out of talking to a chatbot simulation of a genius. You'd do a better job of assigning yourself the problem of taking the voice of a vibrant historical persona...

Ugh. What's next? Chat with Hitler?

I'm sure there are plenty of Hitler chatbots already, that's low hanging fruit. There are already four games on Steam where I think you can fuck Hitler. One as a furry.

My Steam search is going to look weird for a while...

I didn't exactly have the highest hopes for Noam, but holy shit was I disappointed in his character over the past few years. Seems like he's actually a pedophile from his reactions to Epstein related leaks.

My interaction prior to that was reading manufacturing consent and saying "yeah, seems about right"
