I want to believe this is legitimate but since when has the government treated it's citizens as informed adults? This is coming from someone who has seen multiple unidentified orange orbs in his life. Interesting I guess.

The cynical take would be that releasing the X-Files is only meant to distract from the Epstein files and/or failed war in Iran.

The War Department has unlimited access to LLMs and compute, but these are delivered as unlabeled files that one must download individually. That's ridiculous.

It's almost like the whole thing is designed to absorb energy and distract some portion of the population from actually looking into anything real.

I think it's proper. When you release something like this, a raw data dump is the only way to cut out a BUNCH of the "this is modified and falsified" noise.

Yes. Importantly just because they've processed it conveniently doesn't mean they'd ever intend to share that.

My first thought when I saw this is how much will it cost me to kick it up to a HF I stance.

I did a trial run with the Epstein files and it was genuinely fun to catch a few bits before the media caught up.

Not to mention that if they add any metadata thats just increasing their exposure and they will be held to what the LLMs label it.

Somebody had fun with the web page.

Any-who,

--mono: "Berkeley Mono Trial", "Berkeley Mono", "IBM Plex Mono", "SFMono-Regular", Consolas, "Liberation Mono", Menlo, monospace;

Berkely Mono (which has been discussed on HN multiple times) is a fine font. The trial version reportedly has swapped / \ and # * glyphs which makes it an odd choice for first place.

yup. I'm not going through this.

Fortunately, you don't have to. Competent people will get busy on this.
