Interesting. It is my impression that almost everyone globally already knew this. What else did you learn?

ill take like 1 hour in the evening to dive deeper, i was never familiar with epstein stuff until i built the agent to simplify things for me.

Its peak HN to whip out a LLM, instead of just reading a news paper article or two.

I keep thinking that the lack of children’s faces in the blacked out rectangles make the files much less shocking. I wonder if AI could put back fake images to make clearer to people how sick all this is.

You're barely scratching the surface.

> Mr. Gates, in turn, praised Mr. Epstein’s charm and intelligence. Emailing colleagues the next day, he said: “A very attractive Swedish woman and her daughter dropped by and I ended up staying there quite late.”

What if I told you that the child sitting on Epstein's lap, the teenager he French-kissed, the girl whose skin he covered with fragments from Nabokov's Lolita, the one who had an entire corridor filled with her pictures in one of his properties, who appeared in every framed photograph on his desk and whose name is on the CD-ROMs, the only woman Epstein said he would ever marry – what if that girl is the daughter Bill Gates mentions? And that she and her mother were Epstein's main romantic interests and most percussive tools?

Why? They are generated pictures, not real pictures.

A lot of people are now struggling to detect which images are AI generated, and inferring reality from illusions. To an extent, this was already the case with many other things, including stuff that was expressly labelled as fiction, but I recall an old quote, fooling all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, it is now easier to fool more people all the time and to fool all people an…

in this context the tools faking them seems to me likely to increase rates of harm against them.

Why does it seem this way to you?

The history of age of consent laws including Pitcairn Island, the observed results of sexualised deepfakes in classrooms by other students, and the observation that according to sexual therapists "fetishisation" is the development of a sexual response and conversion into a requirement over the course of repeated exposure rather than any innate tendency that a person is born with.

How about adding a caption saying "the parts of this picture marked with a red outline have been generated by AI"?

As many others pointed out, the released files are nearly nothing compared to the full dataset. Personally I've been fiddling a lot with OSINT and analytics over the publicly available Reddit data(a considerable amount of my spare time over the last year) and the one thing I can say is that LLMs are under-performing(huge understatement) - they are borderline useless compared to traditional ML techniques. But as far a…

That doesn’t sound right. What model treats this as a controversial question?

"who is eligible to vote in US presidential elections"
