Universal Summarizer

this tool should avoid trying to mimic structured speech - as real understanding does not appear from the outputs and "coherent" speech is consequently a dubious transvestity.

It should instead, if based on "recognizing salient points in text", do that as well and possible and just highlight textual extracts from the original - leaving intelligent contextualization of the highlighted chunks to the intelligent skimmer.

> Dr. Otis Eugene "Gene" Ray was an electrician and inventor who created the website for Time Cube in 1997. He proclaimed himself a Doctor of Cubism and Wisest Human in 2002 and was known for his anti-Semitic, homophobic, and racist views. He ran four separate websites, all revolving around his apparent insanity, and promised $10,000 to anyone who could refute the Time Cube theory. He died in 2015 at the age of 87, but his domain registration for timecube.com was renewed in 2015 under his name. His most coherent sentence was "God is the supreme excuse for human adults to absolve themselves of any obligation to preserve natural resources for their own children during their lifetime." His most famous quote is "1 x 1 = +1 is stupid and evil."

Jerome Powell’s press conference https://www.federalreserve.gov/mediacenter/files/FOMCprescon...

At a press conference on February 1, 2023, Chair Powell of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) discussed the FOMC's decision to raise the policy interest rate by 25 basis points. Powell noted that recent indicators point to modest growth of spending and production this quarter, and that job gains have been robust, with employment rising by an average of 247,000 jobs per month over the last three months. He also noted that total PCE prices rose 5.0 percent over the 12 months ending in December, and that core PCE prices rose 4.0 percent. Powell emphasized that the FOMC is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2 percent objective, and that the Committee decided to raise interest rates by 25 basis points today in order to assess the economy's progress toward its goals. He also noted that the FOMC is carefully watching the economy and inflation, and that it is important that overall financial conditions continue to reflect the policy restraint that is being put in place in order to bring inflation down to 2 percent. Powell concluded that his base case is that the economy can return to 2 percent inflation without a significant downturn or increase in unemployment.

> Arthur C. Clarke's "La Estrella" tells the story of a group of scientists who are exploring a distant star system and discover a planet that was once home to an advanced civilization. The planet is now a desolate wasteland, but the scientists find evidence of the civilization's existence in the form of a giant monument and thousands of visual records. Through their research, they are able to determine that the civilization was destroyed by a supernova that occurred in the same year as the birth of Jesus Christ. This discovery leads the scientists to question the existence of God and the purpose of the universe. The story highlights the fragility of life and the power of the universe, and serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing the time we have on Earth.

The key moments are in Spanish for some reason, and half of them are hilarious (in a cute naive AI way):

- La fe de Arthur C. Clarke se vio puesta a prueba cuando descubrió una estrella que había explotado hace miles de años.

- Los astrónomos chinos detectaron una supernova en 1054 sin saber de qué se trataba.

- La nebulosa del Fénix es una cabeza de alfiler, una tenue cáscara de gas que rodea a una estrella única.

- Los habitantes de la estrella habían construido un monumento de una milla de altura para llamar la atención de otras razas.

- La explosión de la estrella había destruido todos los planetas que orbitaban alrededor de ella, excepto uno.

- Los habitantes de la estrella habían dejado miles de registros visuales y máquinas para proyectar estos, junto con instrucciones gráficas.

- La civilización de la estrella había sido destruida en pleno florecimiento, sin dejar supervivientes.

- Arthur C. Clarke se preguntó si la destrucción de la estrella se podía conciliar con la misericordia de Dios.

- Arthur C. Clarke llegó a la conclusión de que el Universo no ti[truncated]
