Podcast appearances and mentions of Marvin Minsky

Kevin Kelly has spent more time thinking about the future than almost anyone else.From VR in the 1980s to the blockchain in the 2000s—and now generative AI—Kevin has spent a lifetime journeying to the frontiers of technology, only to return with rich stories about what's next.Today, as Wired's senior maverick, his project for 2025 is to outline what the next century looks like in a world shaped by new technologies like AI and genetic engineering. He's a personal hero of mine—not to mention a fellow Annie Dillard fan—and it was a privilege to have him on the show. We get into:How you can predict the future. According to Kevin, the draw of new frontiers—from the first edition of Burning Man and remote corners of Asia, to the early days of the internet and AI—isn't staying at the edge forever; it's returning with a story to tell.Why history is so important to help you understand the future To stay grounded while exploring what's new, Kevin balances the thrill of the future with the wisdom of the past. He pairs AI research with reading about history, and playing with an AI tool by retreating to his workshop to make something with his hands.From 1,000 true fans to an audience of one. Rather than creating for an audience, Kevin has been using LLMs to explore his own imagination. After realizing that da Vinci, Martin Luther, and Columbus were alive at the same time, he asked ChatGPT to imagine them snowed in at a hotel together, and the prompt spiraled into an epic saga, co-written with AI. But he has no plans to publish it because the joy was in creating something just for himself.What the history of electricity can teach us about AI. Kevin draws a parallel between AI and the early days of electricity. We could produce electric sparks long before we understood the forces that created them, and now we're building intelligent machines without really understanding what intelligence is.Why Kevin sees intelligence as a mosaic—not a monolith. Kevin believes intelligence isn't a single force, but a compound of many cognitive elements. He draws from Marvin Minsky's “society of mind”—the theory that the mind is made up of smaller agents working together—and sees echoes of this in the Mixture of Experts architecture used in some models today.Your competitive advantage is being yourself. Don't aim to be the best—aim to be the only. Kevin realized the stories no one else at Wired wanted to write were often the ones he was suited for, and trusting that instinct led to some of his best work.This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to make sense of AI through the lens of history, learn how to spot the future before it arrives, or grew up reading Wired.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! To hear more from Dan:Subscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribe Follow him on X: https://twitter.com/danshipper SponsorsVanta: Get $1,000 off of Vanta at ⁠⁠⁠https://www.vanta.com/every⁠⁠⁠ and automate up to 90% of the work for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more.Attio: Go to⁠ https://www.⁠⁠⁠⁠attio.com/every⁠⁠ and get 15% off your first year on your AI-powered CRM.Timestamps:Introduction: 00:00:50Why Kevin and I love Annie Dillard: 00:01:10Learn how to predict the future like Kevin: 00:12:50What the history of electricity can teach us about AI: 00:16:08How Kevin thinks about the nature of intelligence: 00:20:11Kevin's advice on discovering your competitive advantage: 00:27:21The story of how Kevin assembled a bench of star writers for Wired: 00:31:07How Kevin used ChatGPT to co-create a book: 00:36:17Using AI as a mirror for your mind: 00:40:45What Kevin learned from betting on VR in the 1980s: 00:45:16Links to resources mentioned:Kevin Kelly: @kevin2kellyKelly's books: https://kk.org/books Annie Dillard books that Kelly and Dan discuss: Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Teaching a Stone to Talk, Holy the Firm, The Writing LifeDillard's account of the total eclipse: "Total Eclipse"

​​In September 2019, Richard Stallman, a prominent computer scientist and founder of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), resigned from both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the FSF following controversial comments related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Specifically, Stallman questioned the use of the term "sexual assault" concerning allegations against the late MIT professor Marvin Minsky, suggesting that the victim may have appeared "entirely willing." These remarks were widely criticized as insensitive and dismissive of the coercive circumstances surrounding Epstein's trafficking of minors.The backlash against Stallman's comments led to his immediate resignation from both institutions. However, in March 2021, he announced his return to the FSF's board of directors, a move that sparked renewed controversy and led to significant criticism from the open-source community. Organizations such as Mozilla and the Open Source Initiative opposed his reinstatement, citing concerns over his past behavior and statements.Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, engaged in a controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, by accepting donations and maintaining contact even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Epstein contributed $75,000 and 66 laptops to Bard in 2011, and in 2016, he personally gave Botstein $150,000, which Botstein redirected to the college as part of his own $1 million donation. Botstein defended these actions by emphasizing his fundraising responsibilities and Bard's commitment to rehabilitation, stating, "We believe in rehabilitation."Despite knowing Epstein's criminal history, Botstein met with him over a dozen times to solicit further donations, raising ethical questions about engaging with disreputable donors. Botstein acknowledged Epstein's past but justified the interactions as part of his role in securing funding for the college, reflecting the complex dynamics between institutional fundraising and ethical considerations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Virginia Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, has alleged that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to several prominent individuals for sexual encounters during the early 2000s. In legal depositions and public statements, she has named Prince Andrew, Duke of York; former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson; former U.S. Senator George Mitchell; attorney Alan Dershowitz; financier Glenn Dubin; modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel; and the late MIT scientist Marvin Minsky. All of these individuals have denied Giuffre's allegations, and many have provided statements refuting any wrongdoing or association with her claims. It's important to note that these allegations have not been adjudicated in a court of law, and the named individuals maintain their innocence.In 2024, a federal judge ordered the unsealing of court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, revealing the identities of over 170 individuals previously concealed under pseudonyms. These documents, part of a lawsuit against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell, named high-profile figures such as former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. While the release has reignited public interest and speculation, it's important to note that inclusion in these documents does not necessarily imply involvement in any wrongdoing. Many of the named individuals have denied any misconduct or close association with Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Pedro explains how Symbolic AI dominated the field for decades, from the 1950s to the early 2000s, and why it's still playing a crucial role in modern AI. He dives into the Physical Symbol System Hypothesis, the idea that intelligence can emerge purely from symbol manipulation, and how AI pioneers like Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy built the foundation for rule-based AI systems. The conversation unpacks inverse deduction—the Symbolists' "Master Algorithm"—and how it allows AI to infer general rules from specific examples. Pedro also explores how decision trees, random forests, and boosting methods remain some of the most powerful AI techniques today, often outperforming deep learning in real-world applications. We also discuss why expert systems failed, the knowledge acquisition bottleneck, and how machine learning helped solve Symbolic AI's biggest challenges. Pedro shares insights on the heated debate between Symbolists and Connectionists, the ongoing battle between logic-based reasoning and neural networks, and why the future of AI lies in combining these paradigms. From AlphaGo's hybrid approach to modern AI models integrating logic and reasoning, this episode is a deep dive into the past, present, and future of Symbolic AI—and why it might be making a comeback.

El juego del ajedrez ha sido (y es) el soporte ideal para el desarrollo de la Inteligencia Artificial. Claude Shannon, Alan Turing y Marvin Minsky, padres de la informática, sintieron una verdadera fascinación por las 64 casillas. Como en una fábula, el ajedrez sigue siendo la liebre en la trepidante carrera de la computación. Abordamos la extraordinaria relación entre el juego-ciencia y el desarrollo de la informática. En 1988, el informático Feng-hsiung Hsu, alias Pájaro loco, asombró al mundo con la máquina ChipTest, a la que siguió Deep Thought, el primer ordenador que derrotó a un gran maestro de ajedrez, el danés Bent Larsen.  Hoy, cualquier aplicación de un teléfono móvil es capaz de vencer al campeón del mundo. En la sección ‘Enroque corto', hablamos con Ibán García del Blanco, experto en IA y amante del noble juego. García del Blanco ha sido, como eurodiputado, una de las figuras clave en la aprobación de la primera ley de IA de la Unión Europea. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa', el maestro Luisón nos sigue recomendando lo mejor de la literatura ajedrezada. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal', recibimos el saludo y la pregunta del gran maestro Miguel Illescas.

Segundo Roger Penrose (Nobel de Física em 2020, para quem gosta de validação de autoridade acadêmica), toda essa discussão sobre os “perigos dos avanços da inteligência artificial” e a possibilidade dessa “inteligência” substituir a mente humana não passa de alarmismo vulgar, alimentado por muita ficção científica e pouca ciência e filosofia. Não que figuras importantes da ciência não defendessem tal possibilidade distópica, onde as máquinas poderão nos copiar, nos substituir, nos eliminar e prevalescer sobre a Terra. Autores como Marvin Minsky, pioneiro na inteligência artificial, consideram nossa mente como “computadores feitos de carne” e, como tal, seria perfeitamente possível pensar que toda nossa percepção de beleza, humor, consciência e livre-arbítrio poderiam emergir naturalmente de robôs eletrônicos com comportamento algorítmico suficientemente complexo. O grande problema de nossos tempos é que muitas vezes bons cientistas não produzem boa filosofia e bons filósofos não entendem de ciência. E ambos já não produzem nenhuma especulação mística ou religiosa, pois o pensamento religioso foi caricaturado numa interpretação vulgar de “dogma” (mas isso é outro assunto). Os filósofos da ciência, como John Searle, parecem, a princípio, os mais qualificados para responder a autores como Minsky, ao afirmar com bastante lucidez que computadores não são essencialmente diferentes de calculadoras mecânicas que operam com rodas, alavancas ou qualquer outra coisa capaz de transmitir sinais. Um computador, por mais avançado que seja, “entende” suas operações tal como um ábaco. Leia mais aqui.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/201-descentralizacion-iii-la-guerras-cripto-antes-de-bitcoin/)«Gobiernos del Mundo Industrial, cansados gigantes de carne y acero, vengo del Ciberespacio, el nuevo hogar de la Mente. En nombre del futuro, os pido a vosotros del pasado que nos dejéis en paz. No sois bienvenidos entre nosotros. No tenéis soberanía alguna sobre el lugar donde nos reunimosNo hemos elegido ningún gobierno, ni es probable que lo hagamos, así que me dirijo a vosotros sin más autoridad que aquella con la que la libertad siempre habla. Declaro el espacio social global que estamos construyendo independiente por naturaleza de las tiranías que estáis buscando imponernos. No tenéis ningún derecho moral a gobernarnos, ni disponéis de métodos para forzarnos a cumplir vuestra ley que tengamos razón para temer.Los gobiernos derivan sus lícitos poderes del consentimiento de los que son gobernados. No habéis pedido ni recibido el nuestro. No os hemos invitado. No nos conocéis, ni conocéis nuestro mundo. El Ciberespacio no se halla dentro de vuestras fronteras. No penséis que podéis construirlo, como si fuera una obra pública. No podéis. Es un acto natural que crece de nuestras acciones colectivas.No os habéis unido a nuestras reuniones, ni creasteis la riqueza de nuestros mercados. No conocéis nuestra cultura, nuestra ética, o los códigos no escritos que ya proporcionan a nuestra sociedad más orden que el que podría obtenerse por cualquiera de vuestras imposiciones.Proclamáis que hay problemas entre nosotros que vosotros necesitáis resolver. Usáis esto como una excusa para invadir nuestros límites. Muchos de estos problemas no existen. Donde haya auténticos conflictos, donde haya errores, los identificaremos y resolveremos por nuestros propios medios. Estamos creando nuestro propio Contrato Social. Esta autoridad se creará según las condiciones de nuestro mundo, no del vuestro. Nuestro mundo es diferente.»Así empezaba un texto mítico de la contracultura digital de los años 90: la declaración de independencia del ciberespacio, escrita por John Perry Barlow en 1996. Si escuchaste el capítulo que dediqué a la cultura hacker recordarás que muchos de sus valores me parecía que eran especialmente relevantes en el mundo que tenemos hoy y, sobre todo, en el que tendremos mañana. También te decía que, ahora que con todo el movimiento crypto se habla tanto de descentralización, yo veía en esas conversaciones mucho del idealismo de aquella cultura hacker de los 80 y 90. Y no es casualidad. En el origen de mucho de todo esto estaban, claro está, hackers. Precisamente investigando esos orígenes, y uniendo las piezas de mi propia memoria, me encontré con una historia que creo que es digna de ser contada. No ya por lo interesante que pueda parecerme, sino por el debate que encierra sobre nuestros derechos como ciudadanos. Y a esa historia y a ese debate, vamos a dedicar el capítulo de hoy. ¡Ya están abiertas las inscripciones para la 2ª edición del programa de desarrollo directivo y liderazgo que dirijo en Tramontana! ¿Te interesa?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Evolution of Humans Was Net-Negative for Human Values, published by Zack M Davis on April 1, 2024 on LessWrong. (Epistemic status: publication date is significant.) Some observers have argued that the totality of "AI safety" and "alignment" efforts to date have plausibly had a negative rather than positive impact on the ultimate prospects for safe and aligned artificial general intelligence. This perverse outcome is possible because research "intended" to help with AI alignment can have a larger impact on AI capabilities, moving existentially-risky systems closer to us in time without making corresponding cumulative progress on the alignment problem. When things are going poorly, one is often inclined to ask "when it all went wrong." In this context, some identify the founding of OpenAI in 2015 as a turning point, being causally downstream of safety concerns despite the fact no one who had been thinking seriously about existential risk thought the original vision of OpenAI was a good idea. But if we're thinking about counterfactual impacts on outcomes, rather than grading the performance of the contemporary existential-risk-reduction movement in particular, it makes sense to posit earlier turning points. Perhaps - much earlier. Foresighted thinkers such as Marvin Minsky (1960), Alan Turing (1951), and George Eliot (1879!!) had pointed to AI takeover as something that would likely happen eventually - is the failure theirs for not starting preparations earlier? Should we go back even earlier, and blame the ancient Greeks for failing to discover evolution and therefore adopt a eugenics program that would have given their descendants higher biological intelligence with which to solve the machine intelligence alignment problem? Or - even earlier? There's an idea that humans are the stupidest possible creatures that could have built a technological civilization: if it could have happened at a lower level of intelligence, it would have (and higher intelligence would have no time to evolve). But intelligence isn't the only input into our species's penchant for technology; our hands with opposable thumbs are well-suited for making and using tools, even though the proto-hands of our ancestors were directly adapted for climbing trees. An equally-intelligent species with a less "lucky" body plan or habitat, similar to crows (lacking hands) or octopuses (living underwater, where, e.g., fires cannot start), might not have gotten started down the path of cultural accumulation of technology - even while a more intelligent crow- or octopus-analogue might have done so. It's plausible that the values of humans and biological aliens overlap to a much higher degree than those of humans and AIs; we should be "happy for" other biological species that solve their alignment problem, even if their technologically-mature utopia is different from the one we would create. But that being the case, it follows that we should regard some alien civilizations as more valuable than our own, whenever the difference in values is outweighed by a sufficiently large increase in the probability of solving the alignment problem. (Most of the value of ancestral civilizations lies in the machine superintelligences that they set off, because ancestral civilizations are small and the Future is big.) If opposable thumbs were more differentially favorable to AI capabilities than AI alignment, we should perhaps regard the evolution of humans as a tragedy: we should prefer to go extinct and be replaced by some other species that needed a higher level of intelligence in order to wield technology. The evolution of humans was net-negative for human values. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

But intelligence isn't the only input into our species's penchant for technology; our hands with opposable thumbs are well-suited for making and using tools, even though the proto-hands of our ancestors were directly adapted for climbing trees. An equally-intelligent species with a less "lucky" body plan or habitat, similar to crows (lacking hands) or octopuses (living underwater, where, e.g., fires cannot start), might not have gotten started down the path of cultural accumulation of technology - even while a more intelligent crow- or octopus-analogue might have done so. It's plausible that the values of humans and biological aliens overlap to a much higher degree than those of humans and AIs; we should be "happy for" other biological species that solve their alignment problem, even if their technologically-mature utopia is different from the one we would create. But that being the case, it follows that we should regard some alien civilizations as more valuable than our own, whenever the difference in values is outweighed by a sufficiently large increase in the probability of solving the alignment problem. (Most of the value of ancestral civilizations lies in the machine superintelligences that they set off, because ancestral civilizations are small and the Future is big.) If opposable thumbs were more differentially favorable to AI capabilities than AI alignment, we should perhaps regard the evolution of humans as a tragedy: we should prefer to go extinct and be replaced by some other species that needed a higher level of intelligence in order to wield technology. The evolution of humans was net-negative for human values. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Peter Chapman, President and CEO, of leading quantum computing company, IonQ, is live!  Peter had an atypical childhood. He grew up near the Johnson Space Center in Houston because his father was an astronaut who used to fly over the house in his trainer jet. In high school, Peter went to study with the well-known cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky at the AI lab at MIT because he wasn't being challenged enough in school. He said that IonQ chose ions as qubits because they are all the same and perfectly identical. But he also said they may not be the modality of choice in 50 years – new approaches may emerge. We discussed the new facility IonQ just opened outside Seattle to provide additional cloud access to clients and more room for their engineering team. Peter also feels that at some point, we may not be able to put more qubits on a single chip, which might mean a quantum solution that uses multiple chips networked together, kind of the way we do blade servers in supercomputers today.  Check out my wide-ranging conversation with Peter! The “Quantum Tech Pod” podcast, hosted by Christopher Bishop from Inside Quantum Technology, offers a deep dive into the rapidly evolving world of quantum technology. Christopher, an industry expert, engages with leading figures in the field, discussing the latest developments, breakthroughs, and challenges in quantum computing, communication, sensing, and cryptography. The podcast is an informative platform for experts and enthusiasts, providing insights into how quantum technology shapes the future and its implications across various industries. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just curious about quantum technology, “Quantum Tech Pod” delivers engaging conversations illuminating this cutting-edge field.

Today's guest is Tamiko Thiel – lead product designer of The Connection Machine – a revolutionary massively parallel artificial intelligence supercomputer which was developed in the 1980s. Originally conceived by Danny Hillis from MIT's artificial intelligence lab where he was studying under Marvin Minsky, Danny got an incredibly talented team together including Richard Feynman, Brewster Kale, Tamiko, and others to create what would become the fastest and most effective supercomputer of the time. And it's this part of her career that we focus on today.However, Tamiko went on to become a pioneering digital artist who has worked in the realm of virtual reality for the past thirty years, starting in 1994 when she worked with Steven Spielberg on the Starbright World project where they created an online interactive 3D virtual world for seriously ill children.Tamiko also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Product Design Engineering, from Stanford University in 1979 and received a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from MIT in 1983, with a focus on human-machine design and computer graphics, as well as a diploma from the Academy of fine arts in Munich, Germany. In today's conversation we dig deep into that special time in history when all the so-called experts said what Danny, Tamiko and co. were working on at Thinking Machines couldn't be done and where… they proved them all wrong.Enjoy!--------------Image of Tamiko copyright Tamiko ThielTamiko website / LinkedIn /  InstagramI am not on social media this year but stay in touch via my Newsletter / YouTube--------------Tamiko in London March 2024The Travels of Mariko Horo interactive virtual reality installationBy Tamiko Thiel, 2006/2017, with original music by Ping JinIn "GLoW: ILLUMINATING INNOVATION"Bush House Arcade, King's College, Strand, LondonExhibition: 08 March - 20 April 2024Panel and opening event: 07 March, 6:30pmLocation: Great Hall, King's Building, Strand, King's College LondonThe CM-1 t-shirt and Tamiko's Travels of Mariko Horo mesh top will be shown in the following, with information on how to order them (from my web shops: http://tamikothiel.com/cm/cm-tshirt.html)Curiosity Cabinet, King's College171 Strand/Corner of Surrey St., Londonhttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/curiosity-cabinet-showcases-antiquities-and-oddities-on-the-strand

Welcome to a new exhilarating episode of "Adam's Archive," where curiosity meets revelations. I'm your host, Austin Adams, and today's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster through the corridors of hidden truths and uncovered secrets. Brace yourself as we plunge into the labyrinth of the Epstein saga, unraveling over 10,000 pages of jaw-dropping legal documents. Unearth the names and narratives that have remained shrouded in mystery, from Bill Clinton to Stephen Hawking, and discover the startling revelations that emerged from these files. Next, we navigate through an extraordinary incident at a shopping mall, where reports of 8 to 10-foot tall beings have sparked a storm of speculation. Was it merely a scuffle between youths, or something far more mysterious and ancient? We delve into the enigmatic world of the Nephilim, the legendary giants of biblical lore, and explore the intriguing passages and contemporary discussions about these colossal figures. This episode isn't just a podcast; it's a quest for understanding the unknown and the misunderstood.

Now, let's jump into it!   All the Links: Https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Substack: Https://Austinadams.Substack.com   ----more---- Full Transcription    Adams archive.  Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to be discussing the two single craziest events that have kicked off our 2024  year.  The first one being that Epstein's documents, I think it was over 10, 000 pages of legal documents were just dropped  over four different days. Listing off the names of several, several people, almost all of them. We've talked about here. I've done, you know, more than a year ago, I did a serious deep dive into all the Epstein documents, the flight logs, the black book. I posted it all. It's on my sub stack. You can go find it right now,  but there's some things  that I don't think that we knew yet that came out about this, not that much though. There was a few names. There was a few.  Really  scathing words that came out, some about Bill Clinton, some about Stephen Hawking, hmm,  some really interesting stuff. So we're going to dive into all of that. What were the most notable things that were discussed about this? Who were the five most important or powerful people that were on this list? And then.  We'll go through the list in its entirety of the names, and I'll see how fast I can do it for you, because it was a lot.  After that, we're going to jump into another topic, which was that there was a bunch of, a bigger police presence than you've seen at every school shooting, at every  Black Lives Matter protest riot, at every January 6th, combined, at a single shopping mall. And apparently it was because these kids were having fights with sticks and fireworks.  Four children, four kids having  you know, violent acts with sticks.  But some people are saying that wasn't the actual reason why. Some people are saying that there was eight to ten foot tall beings that were attacking people. Now it's kind of a weird situation because there wasn't very much video evidence that came from the ground and there wasn't very many people talking about what happened on the inside. You know, today,  you have a Karen going off on a manager at Wendy's and there's always going to be a video of it. But we don't have any video footage of this. So it's pretty weird. But some people, which would lead us to our deep dive for today, have said that they believed this to be the Nephilim.  If you don't know what the Nephilim is, that is the ancient biblical beings that are said to be extremely large individuals. And we will dive into a whole deep dive of what those beings were the passages from the ancient and biblical texts that they were mentioned in. And  Some more recent discussions around them from even Tucker Carlson potentially alluding to these beings. So all of that and more, make sure you stick around, subscribe, leave a five star review, head over there, do it right now. If it's your first time listening, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. If it's your second time listening and you're still not subscribed, come on,  go ahead and hit that button. If it's your first time, I forgive you, but I really don't because it just takes two seconds. Go ahead and hit it right now and you'll be having conversations just like this every single week, just like we're having now and you're going to love it. So.  If you've been here for a while, or even if it's your first time, and you're like, man, this guy just sounds awesome. Go ahead and leave that five star review. All right. It's the only way that I can get feedback from you guys. And it's the only way that you can help me get up in the rankings when it comes to the podcast space. Head over to YouTube. You can actually watch the video. See my beautiful face talking about all these things. See me actually pull up the articles right alongside me here.  Here  when I'm talking about those and watch the video clips with me and to see my real reactions So head over to YouTube the Adams archive find the channel there and I'll see you there All right, all of that more buff and  not but first that's what I got for you. Let's jump into it   The Adams archive.   Alright, so the very first topic that we're going to discuss today is going to be that there was the single largest document release regarding Epstein.  It happened over four days. And it, To me, this wasn't a huge deal. What I like about it is the fact that it brought attention back to the Epstein situation. Now, some people are arguing one way or the other, whether that's a good thing, whether it's a distraction from other things that are going on, whether it's an attempt to heighten the tensions of 2024 already leading up to the election cycle.  I don't know.  I think that it's probably  just.  a situation where there was a legal  court  judge that decided they were going to release these documents and then it just reignited the whole Epstein situation. I think that's probably the most likely situations here. I don't think it's a huge distraction. I don't think that these people want to throw everybody under the bus. But what I do know is that almost everybody who was on this list was already, Named  we already knew these names.  We already knew about Prince Andrew. We already knew about Bill Clinton. We already knew about Kevin Spacey We are the new even Stephen Hawking. We already knew these names, right? This isn't very much of this was already out there now. There were some details and some Snippets that have gone viral that have had more of an emphasis on them as a result of these documents But I don't think that it was anything earth shattering.  So the first thing I want to do for you here I want to list the  Let's see, let me pull it up for you here.  I want to list the 90 names.  I want to list the 90 names that were on the Epstein list. In as quick as fashion as possible for you. So the 90 names in 90 seconds that were on  Epstein's list for you, and I'll speak fast, so try and keep up. But I just want to throw all these names out for you, because everybody's like, Where's the list? Where's the list? Where's the list? I don't see a list. I just see documents. Well, here you go. Here is the 90 names that were listed in 90 seconds. You can time me. I'm not exactly sure. Let's see. All right. We're at 2 minutes and 16 seconds. 2 minutes and 20 seconds. We'll begin.  Glenn Maxwell, Virginia Lee, Roberts, Garuff, Kathy Alexander. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's go back.  Seeing that Virginia Garuff's name is on this list, I do want you to know that this list is not just the perpetrators. This list was, and this came out, there was like 170 names. It's like, no, this list is not just the names of the people that were the perpetrators. This list, Virginia Garuff is the one who's  legal case is the reason that this came out, and that's probably why she's number two on here behind Ghislaine Maxwell because it was Virginia Groff's legal case against Ghislaine Maxwell.  So, now that I've preempted that here, I will point out to you within this list some of the names that maybe were a little bit newer, but were always A part of this conversation we've been having for a while.  So here we go.  Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia Garoff. Kathy Alexander. Miles Alexander. James Michael Ostrich. Philip Barton. Redacted. Number seven. Kate Blanchett. David Boyce. Laura Booth. Evelyn Boulette. Rebecca Boylan. Josh Brunner. Naomi Campbell. Carolyn Casey. Paul Cassell. Sharon Churcher. Bill Clinton, David Copperfield, Alexandra Cousteau, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alan Dershowitz, Mr. Mona Deveson, Redacted, Bradley Edwards, Amanda Allison, Kimberly Espinoza, Jeffrey Epstein, Ann Farmer, Marie Farmer, Alexander Fakai, Crystal Figueroa, Anthony Figueroa, Luis Ferra,  Eric Ganney, Meg Garvin, Sheridan Gibson Butt.  Robert Garoff, Al Gore, Ross Bowe, Fred Graff, Philip Grudegren,  redacted. Shannon Harrison, Stephen Hawking, Virginia Hair, Victoria Hazel, Brittany Henderson, Brett Jeff, Michael Jackson,  Carol Roberts, Cass, Dr. Karen Kutikoff, Peter Listerman, George Lucas, Tony Lyons, Bob Meister, Jamie Melanson, Lynn Miller, Marvin Minsky, redacted. David Mullen, Joe Pagano, Mary Paluga, Jay Stanley Pottinger, Joseph Ricari, Michael Reiter, Jason Richards, Bill Richardson, Sky Roberts, Scott Rothstein, Forrest Sawyer, Doug Schoedl, Kevin Spacey, Cecilia Stein, Mark Tafoya, Brent Tindall, Kevin Thompson, Donald Trump, Ed Tunnel, Emma Vagan.  Kimberly Vaughn Edwards,  Kresenda Valase, Anthony Velardi, Martinez Velasquez, Vicki Ward, Jared Weinfeld, Courtney Weil, Bruce Willis. Daniel Wilson. Andrew Albert, Christians Edwards, duke of York.  There you go. There's your 90 names.  Now again, this is not the client list, right? This is a list of individuals.  That were a part of the documents in general, okay? So some of those people could have been victims, some of those people could have been listed for other reasons.  But, we know some of those names, not even all of those names are the ones that are, you know, have been brought up in the past. There's some really wild ones that have been brought up too. However, I would like to note that there were some ones that stuck out to me. David Copperfield was one that I don't remember exactly  discussing surrounding this  and he's been a big conversation starter around this. Another one is Al Gore. I don't remember Al Gore being another part of this,  before  from before the conversation.  And then another one is who has actually spoken out now is Cameron Diaz has come out to speak out against her name being on the list. Cameron Diaz came out and said that she has had never had any association whatsoever with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, my question would be where did her name come up on these documents, which I guess we could probably look a little bit further to see the actual legal documentation that has been brought up.  But  that's a we could dive into that in just a second here. So there are the 90 names of the individuals. Now let's see if there's anybody who commented on this.  Let's go ahead and see.  Somebody said these names were taken from transcripts of evidence given during Maxwell's trial. Being named means nothing without context, and even with context, the only thing it might spark is a police investigation into a name which is associated with a given incident or set of behaviors.  Alright.  I just saw the greatest thing about Stephen Hawking and I'm going to hold on to that because we're going to talk about Stephen Hawking in depth in just a minute. So I'm going to hold on to that one. So let's let's segue into this.  Okay. Now, another thing that's happened more recently is I believe his name is Andrew. Andrew Epstein has come out and did an interview with Tucker Carlson. going Let me see if I can pull that up. Andrew Epstein being the brother of Jeffrey Epstein said that he no longer believes that Jeffrey Epstein  committed suicide.  And so let's see if we can pull this up. Jeff, Andrew Epstein,  Tucker Carlson.  All right.  And so the reason that this is substantial is because Andrew Epstein is the only family that Jeffrey Epstein has. He's the only person that they should have been contacting as a result of this.  Now maybe I got Mark Epstein. There we go. Mark Epstein is the name  Not Andrew. Maybe I was thinking Prince Andrew for other reasons involved with Jeffrey Epstein, but I digress So let's go to the Tucker Carlson dot com to the Tucker Carlson Network  and read this it says  oh you did a whole episode with him  where he had a discussion with his brother Which I'm sure would be very interesting. So if you want to watch that head over to Tucker Carlson dot  but it's 26 minutes and I'm not going to  drag you through all of that. So that was the situation is that Andrew or Andrew again, Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Bruce brother did a interview with, with Tucker Carlson and said that he no longer believes that his brother, Jeffrey was. The person was attempted suicide or committed suicide. He believes that there's something more nefarious about the situation, like everybody else in the world, to be fair.  There's a fair amount of people who too believe, I believe it was even Megyn Kelly came out just the last few days and said that we would be hearing from Jeffrey, she's, so to pre, what she said is that  We're going to be hearing a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein, Megyn Kelly said. We're going to be hearing not only a lot more about him or his case or the situation, but we're actually going to be hearing from Jeffrey Epstein himself.  This year said Megyn Kelly now, I'm not sure what that means to me That means that he's alive and well and is willing to speak out or at least maybe there's some files or videos That he has that were maybe some sort of  I don't know lost videotapes of him speaking about this Honeypot situation, and I think that's a deeper conversation that we should get into now is it seems to be somewhat of a misconception for people who haven't been following this for for as long as I have been in depth. I followed day by day, word by word. The Glenn Maxwell trials even prior to that with Jeffrey Epstein. Went into the black book. I have it on my sub stack. Austin Adams dot sub stack. com. You can go in there, go back through the files and find the black book  for Jeffrey Epstein, where it has the names and phone numbers of all of his associates, every known contact that he had in this book  with their phone numbers. Okay. But anyways, there's a lot of people who are. being privy to this situation now, who maybe weren't before, who don't understand the background. I mean, there's a lot of people who were following this this whole time who maybe just thought, Oh, it's just a bunch of elite pedophiles who are sick individuals and, and they just have a,  a  proclivity to underage individuals and they're just disgusting pedophiles. And, and yes, you would be correct. But also the reason that the, the, the, it goes much deeper than that.  Jeffrey Epstein, and I'll give you the synopsis fairly quickly, Jeffrey Epstein was with Ghislaine Maxwell, okay? Now Jeffrey Epstein, the financier, but very little people know where he got his money from, or his funding, to be a financier, right? And so, the speculation is that, in the correlation, the connections here, is that Jeffrey Epstein with Ghislaine Maxwell, Ghislaine Maxwell's dad, was an agent of the Mossad.  And the Mossad is the CIA of Israel, essentially,  and they're well known as the single most  the, the, the single most powerful and capable intelligence agency in the world, even more than the CIA, which should concern you in and of itself,  but the ties between Ghislaine Maxwell and The Mossad cannot be ignored. Her father  was an agent of the Mossad. Which leads me to believe that there's some connection here. Although, in, in, background piece for her father is that her father actually got pushed off of a yacht and murdered.  It was called an accident, I guess, so I can't say it was murdered, but the official thing is that it was an accident. But he fell off of a yacht and died, and that was the way that he died, which is a super mysterious, weird way to die.  Especially for such a high profile, high net worth individual.  Especially one associated with a foreign entity's intelligence community. You know, but I digress. So the situation is that the ties between Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad cannot be ignored.  So you take that to its extent, and what people have realized now, and what we actually know from these documents that came out now, is that not only  Was Jeffrey Epstein tied to Mossad, but there was court documents stating blatantly that this was a black male scheme  to get Hollywood elites to get powerful politicians to get people within the highest levels of science and education  to  go and partake in these horrific activities  and then to have  The video evidence of them doing so, so that it could be used against them at will by foreign entities. Now, whether it's just the Mossad, which is what I believe,  or whether it goes further than that, which it very well may, because now we know that the CIA allegedly found all of these videotapes, and then they all went mysteriously missing. All the videotapes that they found, all the blackmail evidence, all of the VHS tapes of these horrific acts happening by these famous elite individuals suddenly went missing. How weird is that?  You know, after it had been raided by the CIA, I believe.  So  this is much deeper than just some guy with lots of money feeding elites, what they're looking for. This is, this is a high level intelligence agency act by a foreign entity being the Mossad of Israel,  the same Israel. Now this is, this is what should infuriate you more than almost anything about the Epstein situation is that you are funding.  What happened on Epstein Island? Did you know that  you are funding what happened on Jeffrey Epstein's Island,  because the individuals who are behind Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Maxwell's father was the Mossad, the intelligence community behind Israel  and the Mossad  had.  All of this blackmail done on all of the most powerful people in the world so that they could control your reality from the movies that you watch to the universities that you go to, to the scientific journals that you probably don't read,  to the politicians who make the decisions on whether or not where our tax dollars go, the laws that are passed.  Who is, who is,  who is allowed to walk free through presidential you know, signatures.  All of that is being decided through blackmail. Through these honeypot schemes. And a honeypot scheme is basically where you send somebody who's extremely attractive to somebody who's in a position of power. And then you blackmail them by finding some video, photo, text message evidence of them doing something that they shouldn't be doing.  It's a well known tactic.  And it was executed perfectly. By an organization that you are funding. We are currently sending tax dollars to Israel.  Israel's intelligence agency  is the Mossad.  So you're telling me that our tax dollars were going to fund the very organization that was conducting these types of blackmail,  these types of blackmail on elites on Jeffrey Epstein's Island.  Yes, yes, that is what I'm telling you.  And if that doesn't disgust you,  you should get your head checked.  So,  that's a weird realization to me, right?  However, let's move on here, because there's some big names that we can discuss surrounding this, and I could go on and on and on about this honeypot scheme, but I, I, I believe That's exactly what happened. I still don't, I'm still not convinced, I should say.  I'm still not convinced,  that Jeffrey Epstein's dead.  I'm not. You can't convince me of that because there's no evidence.  Just the same way that they brought in, if you go back to the JFK files.  When JFK died, they brought in their own autopsy officials, they kicked everybody else out of the room, they brought in their own autopsy officials, and had their own private autopsy done with nobody around.  And it was funded by the very same organization  who's allegedly the ones who conducted the assassination.  Now, would you imagine  that in a situation where Jeffrey Epstein  In cahoots with these intelligence organizations that those very organizations were able to sneak him out the back door and put a body in a room and then sneak in an autopsy official to write the death certificate and say that it was Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, and by the way, it was also a suicide. Oh, and by the way.  These cameras that are literally everywhere in this jail  just just weren't working. Oh, and by the way, the security footage and the security guards that were supposed to be on on duty at the time fell asleep and they didn't even sign the documents that they were supposed to sign at the time that they were supposed to be there.  That's interesting.  Very interesting.  So, I'm not convinced that he's dead. There's been footage that has circulated about somebody who looked like him, but it looked like it was filmed on a potato, so I don't believe that may have, you know, could have, could have not been him. I believe it was actually footage from the island that was released more recently.  So,  let's look at some of these names that came up here, now that you understand a little bit of the background of what this was, and why nobody's being prosecuted. Well, nobody's being prosecuted because it was probably At the very least  and generously to say the word entrapment because these people you could never get anybody that I know to do these types of things. You never get me to do these types of things. So I don't think entrapment is the right word, but I think that they're afraid that if they would actually go after anybody that was on Epstein's list, if they went after anybody that was on Epstein's list, it would come full circle back around that the ones actually behind Epstein were the very intelligence agencies that our tax dollars are going to fund, whether it be the CIA or the Mossad.  That's all I'm saying.  All right. So here are the top five individuals. The top, not the top five, but the top five most powerful individuals that were on the most recent Epstein documents, starting with number five,  Alan Dershowitz,  a constitutional law professor at Harvard law school and one time impeachment lawyer for former president Donald Trump. Alan Dershowitz is well known in media circles, unsealed documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. According to a 2014 court filing in the U. S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, Epstein instructed Jane Doe No. 3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida, but also on private planes in New York, New Mexico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. In addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe No. 3 and other minors, Let me share this with you if you're on YouTube with me, so you can actually see what I'm looking at here.  This article comes from  the Christian Post. All right? Tuesday, January 4th. So, it says that in addition to being a participant in the abuse of Jane Doe and other minors, Dershowitz was an eyewitness to other sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and several Epstein co conspirators, the court file alleges.  The filing also claims Dershowitz helped negotiate an agreement that provided immunity from federal prosecution in the Southern District of Florida, not only to Epstein, but also any potential co conspirators of Epstein, including himself. Now, this is one of the most egregious things about this ever about Epstein is that Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer,  and  if we go back, the former lawyer of  the impeachment lawyer for President Donald Trump.  was involved in getting immunity  for every one of the co conspirators in the state of Florida and Properly executed this and they tried to hide the evidence of this  This deal completely they tried to make sure that nobody knew that Epstein's co conspirators Would be getting off under the name of under the guidance of Alan Dershowitz.  So thus Dershowitz helped negotiate  An agreement with a provision that provided protection for himself against criminal prosecution in Florida for sexually abusing Jane Doe number three. Now this wasn't.  Outright said within the time because he just said anybody any of his co conspirators was what he negotiated this this Agreement,  but he was included in that little did they know which seems like a conflict of interest Dershowitz in a YouTube live stream following the release of the Epstein files acknowledged flying on the Lolita Express in his presence on the Epstein list. Of course, I'm on that list. I was his lawyer I flew on his plane said Dershowitz. I had an innocent relationship with a man who I didn't know  Nobody suspected had done anything wrong.  Yeah.  Okay. Dershowitz.  All right, number four  is this list pulls up here  Number four is going to be  none other  than,  dun dun dun,  come on load the Christian post.  Wow, that's brutal. You'd think I would internet from a,  third world country. Bill Richardson.  So number four on this list is Bill Richardson. Former U. S. Congressman, Ambassador, Secretary of Energy, and New Mexico Governor, Bill Richardson is among the names referenced in the newly listed documents. To Epstein. In a deposition taken May 3rd, 2016, Epstein's accuser, Virginia Garuff, claimed that she was instructed by Epstein's associate and sex trafficker, Julianne Maxwell, to give a massage to Richardson during a trip to Epstein Ranch. In New Mexico, when asked whether she met Richardson, gruff said, I want to say that he went, he was supposed to come over for dinner when we were in New Mexico. I don't know if I met him. I believe that he and Ghislaine had dinner separate from myself. Gruff also said that Maxwell personally instructed her to give massage to Bill Richardson Richardson, the chair of the 2004 Democratic National Convention was also n nominated. For the Nobel peace prize in 2019 for his work in North Korea's nuclear crisis. He died in September of 2023 in August, 2019 Bloomberg reported. Richardson denied ever meeting Garuff called the allegations completely false.  Wow. He died in 2003.  How  could you ever  imagine somebody randomly dying? That was a part of Epstein's situation?  How weird is that?  Now, I don't know much about Bill Richardson, but I do know that they said he was the chair of the Democratic National Committee?  Hmm,  that seems fitting.  Now another thing that people have talked about, and I believe the name's on this list here, so instead of waiting, I'll just tell you.  Some of the most notable things that people would see in the headlines when you saw Jeffrey Epstein's list here is Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.  And if you watched MSNBC, you would have noticed that Donald Trump's name was actually listed eight times  alongside the January 6th insurrection three times within the MSNBC coverage of  the  Jeffrey Epstein documents.  Now the other person's name that I listed was Bill Clinton, which is another one of the two individuals that's listed on this list here. So let's talk about those two individuals while everything else is pulling up here. But one thing that I'd say about the difference between the way that Trump is portrayed within these documents, and the difference between the way that Bill Clinton is portrayed in these documents, and, and this will just tell you everything that you need to know about MSNBC and their reporting, is that when they reported Donald Trump's name eight times and Bill Clinton's name zero times. What they failed to mention was the fact that Donald Trump was essentially exonerated from all wrongdoing within these documents. Now, that's not to say that there won't be more documentation that comes out. That's not to say that Donald Trump is completely innocent because we don't know that.  But that is to say that as far as the evidence is concerned today regarding Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump has done no wrongdoing according to the individuals that have been interviewed at this time.  So that's the first thing that. They failed to mention was the fact that every mention of Donald Trump's name within the Jeffrey Epstein documents stated that no, he never participated in any of these underage activities. Now again, I still think there's some element of guilty by association,  that should be applied here. That, that, that,  I'm just highly skeptical of anybody.  Who is around Jeffrey Epstein at any time and immediately calling them innocent I just I still think that there's a lot to be that that will come out  Especially if you listen to Megyn Kelly, I still think that there's going to be a fair amount of more trials that go on as a result of this But I do think that when you look at the evidence so far it shows that Donald Trump  Did no wrongdoing here.  And it shows that Bill Clinton word for word, Bill Clinton within the documents of Jeffrey Epstein's released documents recently states that Bill Clinton, according to the individual that was interviewed.  He likes his girls young. That was the word for word conversation that was had from the legal documents. Under oath, somebody said, not only does he participate with people who are under 18, illegal pedophilia, but also he likes them young, which to me in the context of this situation tells you that he likes them even younger than 18,  younger, younger, younger. Right?  Now, we also know,  well, and we'll get to that in a second, but that to me is the most egregious thing that we saw when it came to the reporting of this is Donald Trump's name was plastered everywhere about this. Bill Clinton's name was alongside it. Bill Clinton, two former presidents on Jeffrey Epstein's  list  of perpetrators.  Well, no,  one former president  and one,  one vice president would be accurate to say  was not in any way, shape, or form shown to have committed any wrongdoing. And I'll be the first person to call him out when there's evidence to show otherwise. I've posted pictures about him in the past next to Jeffrey Epstein. I'm completely transparent. I have no skin in the game. I will absolutely, 100%, be the first person to call out Donald Trump when we see evidence that he was a part of this. Because we've seen so far, there is very clear evidence.  I believe Bill Clinton's name was mentioned 157 times throughout the documents.  Specifically saying, in one instance, that he likes his girls young.  Ew.  Now, let's go to the third  most powerful person, because now we know who number two and number one are, so I'm sorry for  Going back and forth on ya, but one that surprised me a little bit that I didn't see, at least I didn't dive into enough, and I haven't seen evidence of before, so let's read about this now. Says, Climate alarmist and former vice president Al Gore is mentioned in nearly 1, 000 pages of court filings and other documents linked to Epstein. While Gore was not identified as one of the Epstein's alleged clients, the former vice president was named in May 2016 deposition by alleged Epstein victim Johanna Schoenberg, who denied ever meeting Gore. Or seeing him or his wife, Tipper Gore, on Epstein's private island in Little St. James.  In a separate filing on April 2016, Gore was named as a part of a list of documents requested by attorneys for Maxwell in a civil defamation lawsuit. The filing concludes an objection from lawyers from Epstein's accuser, Gruff, in response to a request by Maxwell's attorneys to turn over all photographs or video containing any image. Of you and Gore, along with several other individuals, including Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Stephen Hawking.  In the court filings, Gore is not accused of any wrongdoing or illegal activity. Okay, so again, why are we talking about these people? Right, this is what you have to be careful with, with these documents, is that we can't just immediately say that they're guilty and they're this type of person. Right, because I hadn't read this yet, and I didn't know. Al Gore was not accused of any wrongdoing. Now again, there is some essence, just for Trump, as there is here for Al Gore, of guilty by association to me. I don't believe that I've been friends with any high level blackmailing pedophiles before.  I've never flown to any suspicious islands. With children's toys where they shouldn't be,  and I've never been in a situation where my name was listed in Jeffrey Epstein's documents,  so  it's a little hazy,  but let's go ahead  and let's just see  where this takes us  with Bill Clinton's name. As that loads, let's go back to our next document. All right, so I'll take you through some of the actual documents that were discussed here and the word for word conversations that were had surrounding some of these individuals. All right, so  again, I think That you have to be careful when you're looking at these because some of the names on these lists  were Individuals who were not being accused of anything specific  But  let's look at the actual documentation here. And this is from a Substack article Oh,  and by the way, another really  famous individual that was on Jeffrey Epstein's documentation and lists here was the former prime minister of Israel. Oh.  So you mean to tell me the very association that Ghislaine Maxwell's father worked for,  you know, the Mossad and the person that they worked for there, the prime minister of Israel, went and visited Jeffrey Epstein at his New York town home.  That's weird.  And when he did it, he covered his face with a scarf. Even there's pictures out there of him covering his face with a scarf.  All right. So let's go through some of this documentation here  from the list.  And one of the names that shocked me the most.  But we'll get to him in just a minute.  But you can walk around, walk around, you can actually walk through these documents with me.  If you're on YouTube, again, go to YouTube, type in the Adams Archive, and you can subscribe there. All right, so here we go.  This portion, the top portion is going to be around prints. Andrew. So it says new details on the allegations against Prince Andrew have not also surfaced. Miss, and I'm just not going to be saying names of victims from here on out, that was silly to begin with, also testified that she met Prince Andrew in Virginia Corrath when she was 17 years old in New York City, along with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Here is her testimony. And do you recall who, if anyone,  was at Jeffrey Epstein's home when you arrived? Yes. When I first walked in the door, it was myself, Ghislaine, headed for the staircase and said,  Told me to come up to the living room and what happened at that point when you came up to the living room? I came up and saw Virginia, Jeffrey, Prince Andrew, Ghislaine, in the room. And did you meet Prince Andrew at the time? Yes. At Epstein's New York home was a Prince Andrew puppet, apparently from a BBC production. Weird. Maxwell brought it down for Prince Andrew and either Maxwell or Epstein took a scandalous photo of Prince Andrew with the girls.  They put the puppet on Virginia's lap and sat, I sat on Andrew's lap, and they put the puppet's hand on Virginia's breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo.  The most, the more disturbing allegations against Prince Andrew came directly from Garuff. Please name a person that Glam Maxwell directed you to go have sex with. And she said, Prince. Andrew. Now, the only reason I'm saying Garuff's name is because that's been the most high profile victim of some of this and she's come out and obviously been the forerunner in the victims to actually go after these people and is very, very open and public about it. Glenn Dubin  is another one. So it says Garuff also alleged that she was directed to have sex with Epstein's friend and billionaire and then hedge fund manager, Glenn Dubin. Okay, well I need you to say the time when Maxwell directed you to go have sex with another person. So can you please tell me to whom Glenn Maxwell asked you to go have sex with another person?  Mr. Edwards, the lawyer, said, Object to the form.  And then she said, A. Glenn. Dubin.  Dubin's ties to Epstein have been previously reported back in 2009 after Epstein was given his sweetheart plea deal from the Department of Justice. The Dubins hosted Epstein for Thanksgiving dinner.  Wow.  That must be quite the Thanksgiving dinner. Now one of the bigger names that we'll see here that came up to me that was the most surprising, you know, who's surprised by hedge fund managers and all that stuff. Well, let's just, let's take it in stride. It says Thanksgiving dinner telling his probation officer, they were 100 percent comfortable with his being around their teenage daughter. Ew.  Another one was Tom Pritzker. Tom Pritzker is a billionaire businessman serving as executive chair for Hyatt Hotels and a chairman and CEO of the Pritzker organization. He's also a member of the Aspen Institute. Gruff alleged she slept with him once.  Now, if we go into the conversation here, it says, if I were to ask you the question, how many times did you have sex with Tom Pritzker? Do you know what that question means? She said, I believe so. All right. And what is the answer? I believe I was with Tom once.  Next one is David Copperfield. Magician, magician David Copperfield also emerged in the latest Epstein release. While there are no sex related allegations against Copperfield, at this time it's clear the witness testimony that he was friends with Epstein and had at least some knowledge of what was going on in Epstein's home.  Perhaps he had been informed by Epstein or Maxwell that they were recruiting process where girls were paid to find other girls according to Johanna,  the victim. Have you ever met David Copperfield?  Copperfield, yes. And do you recall when you initially met him? Yes. Can you tell me what that was about? Sure, someone called me from the house and said that he would be there, and if I wanted to come have dinner, then I could meet him. And what happened at the dinner, if anything? He did some magic tricks. Did you observe David Copperfield to be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's? Yes. Did Copperfield ever discuss Jeffrey's involvement with young girls with you? He questions me if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls. Did he tell you any of the specifics of that? And no.  And the biggest reveal for me from all of the Epstein documents  that I hadn't seen before that it had no really backing until this more recent release is Michael Jackson's name came up in the Epstein documents. That's right. Michael Jackson. Now, again, I don't think this should surprise very many people when you get into the highest levels of Hollywood elites and Hollywood elite  pedophiles.  He's probably one of the first names that comes up.  But  even Michael Jackson, the king of pop himself, was friendly with Epstein. He was at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion at least once, as explained by the victim. Did you ever meet anybody famous when you were at Epstein?  She said, I met Michael Jackson. Oh, really? And where was that at his house in Palm Beach at Jeffrey's house in Palm Beach. Did you massage him? She said, I did not. She would also testify that Epstein would speak on the phone with either celebrity with other celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett.  Here's the transcript said I was, I saw one press report that you said you met Cate Blanchett or Leonardo DiCaprio. I did not meet them. No, when I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging him. And he would get off, he would be on the phone a lot of the time, and one time he said, Oh, that was Leonardo, or that was Cate Blanchett, or Bruce Willis, that kind of thing. So, just name dropping. Yes. Okay.  Here's the closing thoughts from this article. It says many of the documents that were released today were previously released in the course of Garuff vs. Maxwell's litigation, albeit in a more redacted form.  For example, one document from today's allegations that claimed Maxwell took the passport of a 15 year old girl. We reported on that document back in 2022, it said. Also, as we discussed on December 19th of 2023, not all the Jane Doe's are alleged to have committed wrongdoing,  or John Doe's, sorry. Today's documents included John Doe's who were doctors to the victims, friends of the victims, and family members of the victims.  It's been unfortunate and rather sad to see the media and various morons with large platforms on social media. The list is long and distinguished to lump those innocent people with the predatory John Doe's, as if all the names to be released were part of Epstein's list. If there is a positive to all of that, We guess it's that you can can't really tell who doesn't, you can really tell who doesn't do the reading anyways. Then this is what I preempted that 90 person list with, right. It's like, you can't just go look at these names and say every single one of them was one of the perpetrators. No, you have to dig deeper than that  anyways. The list of unknown John Doe's as opposed to the known John Doe's, such as Sarah Kellen, who are alleged to have committed abuse, is rather small. Today's release doesn't include all the perpetrator, John Doe's. There are more names set to be released in the coming days. This includes John Doe 113, a purported Epstein affiliate and witness,  witness who is alleged to have engaged in serious wrongdoing.  And we'll be here to report.  The developments.  All right. So there you have it. Now  let's go back  to  the victim or I'm sorry, not the victim, but one of the most interesting cases that has come up, the  probably biggest,  biggest,  most made fun of individual from all of this and rightfully, right. If you're on this list and a part of this, obviously  you deserve to be ridiculed endlessly for the rest of your life.  But,  Stephen Hawking was on Jeffrey Epstein's list released.  Hmm,  you say Stephen Hawking? Isn't that guy a quadriplegic?  Yes! Yes, he is.  I have questions, and I'm sure so do you,  but his name was on the list, and by far,  by far, the best joke that I've seen on this so far  is what I had mentioned earlier that I just ran into when I was looking at all of this,  and it said,  Stephen, did you hear about Stephen Hawking being on Jeffrey Epstein's list? Yes. Yes, I did.  He was tried, convicted and sentenced.  He got the chair.  All right, so Stephen Hawking was on the list. Now this is probably,  again, like I said, the, the most hilarious of them all and not really hilarious. It's not, none of it's funny, obviously, but the most crazy wild is probably more accurate.  Stephen Hawking was now the center of every internet meme of all time now because he was found within the documents saying that he loved being a part, well, One of the victims, I guess,  said that he loved being a part of underage orgies.  And this comes from NDTV. It says, Okay, we all know all of that.  Jeffrey Epstein once proposed A reward to disprove an alleged accusation involving renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, a report said. The latest finding comes in a large trove of documents released due to a lawsuit filed by Virginia Garuff, Epstein accuser against Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice to Epstein. In a 2015 email, Epstein reportedly Suggested to Maxwell that she could issue a reward to anyone who could disprove  Giroff's allegations. Specifically, Epstein mentioned a purported claim that Hawking had participated in an orgy on Epstein's private island in the Virgin Islands. It's important to note that there are no specific allegations directly from Giroff regarding Hawking and that Hawking has never been charged with any sexual misconduct.  Hawking did visit Epstein's private Caribbean Island as a part of a science conference trip, of course, to St. Thomas in March 2006, shortly before Epstein faced his first charges. Photos from the events show Hawking participating in activities on Epstein Island. However, the newly revealed email did not contain any evidence to substantiate the claim against Hawking. The same email also referred to a separate allegation involving President Bill Clinton, who Epstein said was falsely accused, of course, right? So basically what was happening in this situation is that Jeffrey Epstein was probably  had Stephen Hawking or his crew reach out to him and go, Hey, we need you to find somebody who, in case something happens or this information comes out, is a friend of the individuals that were around this area that are making these claims that would then say that he was not there and he didn't participate and none of this is true. So he was just saying, I'll pay you or pay the, I will reward the individual.  the amount of millions of dollars  to potentially lie  and say that he wasn't a part of this,  which to me tells me, again, most of what you need to know.  It says  Virginia Garaffe was also accused upseen trafficker and forcing her to have sex with Prince Andrew, King Charles, thirds, the younger brother on three occasions when she was 17 in the 2022 statement, following an out of court settlement with Garaffe, Prince Andrews lawyer stated his intention to make a substantial donation to grow up, charity, to support a victim's rights.  Yeah, okay.  Now, another part of this is, did you know?  That the Simpsons actually predicted Stephen Hawking  being  a pedophile.  And the video, I saw the video of this, is he's basically in a  a gazebo in his wheelchair. And he goes to leave and, and picks up,  what is it? Not Marge's daughter. I forget the, how can I not know that? Right? Come on.  Let's see if it's on here. But anyways  Maggie, right? Is that Maggie? Yeah, I think it's Maggie. Or is Maggie the one, the younger one? Yeah, Bart,  Homer,  Maggie.  Yeah, who cares?  I'm sure you're shaking and your fist at me right now. But anyways, I gotta keep a lot of other stuff in here And I haven't watched The Simpsons in probably 15 years. So to be fair  but  Allegedly, this was a another Simpson conspiracy win here was Stephen Hawking picking up One of the Simpsons children and taking them on a little flight with him  after he had  left this little scene on the Simpsons. So  let's see if we can get any of the comments here from the comments section.  But, pretty wild stuff. Yeah, just, just the, the similarity, the correlation to the events is a little uncanny to say the least.  Side note, I do find it funny, I did a video the other day about Madison Cawthorne, if you haven't gone and watched the  Dave Chappelle comedy special that he just had released on Netflix, he actually does a joke about Madison Cawthorne, and I've had some  short conversations with Madison Cawthorne before through social media, and  he, he  actually made a joke about Madison Cawthorne, and it was pretty good, it got a little dark for a second  but it was a funny joke, and Madison Cawthorne took it in stride and actually went and To the show of Dave Chappelle  and to see Dave Chappelle making fun of him Which I think is just the all time like best move that you could do in that situation is like the last thing you should do when somebody you know makes fun of you or  your  background, your, your shortcomings  is try to cancel them like the left is constantly trying to do. Right? We've seen people from, from the left you know, always trying to, you know, there's the big walkout because of him and all this other crazy stuff. So it just seems like the wrong way to go about that. And Jeff. Or,  And Madison Cawthorn  actually drove out to the place where it was closest to him that he could go and have a,  a actual full show of Dave Chappelle. So he could be made fun of directly by Dave Chappelle, which I just love.  And it was uncanny because Dave Chappelle was making fun of like, why, why are you inviting a,  he said, quadriplegic to a, to an orgy? Like, what is he going to do? Just wheel around and. Look and you basically just invited a snitch to come in there and snitch on everybody and you can't even participate and you know It's way funnier than me So go watch it and it was hilarious but the fact that the timing of that coming out at the same exact time that we find out that Stephen Hawking was Included in these Epstein orgies is like just just pretty weird  Alright, so the next situation that we're going to discuss here  is going to be that in Miami  There was  hundreds, what looked like, of cops.  In Miami, responding to a call, allegedly, about children fighting each other with sticks and fireworks. And I think the number that I saw was four kids, or young adults, fighting each other with sticks. And you look at the videos of this, and there was at least 85  cop cars lined, I've never seen anything like it in my life, lined down the road, to respond to this call about four children.  Fighting with sticks and fireworks inside of a mall.  That seems weird,  but there was reports coming out afterwards of individuals who were being interviewed because there was no footage of these kids fighting with sticks. There was no footage of the fireworks being shut off inside of this mall,  which is weird because you have that much of a police presence. First of all, why do you have 70 cops? So you can't imagine how many cops were actually there, but 70 cop cars lined up all the way down the street just to respond to a call about four kids fighting each other with sticks. Dicks, not machine guns, not Tommy guns, not  RPGs, no sticks.  Okay? So weird. And there's no footage about it. And you, you go into any tropical smoothie and you'll see that there's a video somewhere on Tik Tok of, of a Karen yelling at a tropical smoothie manager somewhere. Like, if this was the case and it warranted this type of response, why not have  video evidence of this?  But there were people who came out from this Miami mall, allegedly,  and said that. The reason that they were, the reason that there was such a large presence there was that because there was a large  amount of shadowy aliens chasing down people in the mall that were reportedly eight to 10 feet tall. Now, this is going to lead us into our deep dive for this week, which is about the Nephilim, which is the ancient biblical beings, which were allegedly very tall and very strong and descendants of God and man.  But we'll get into that deep dive in a minute. Whether or not I believe this is the case is another story, because it seems to me like, hey, if there's 8 to 10, if I think there's going to be footage of  14 year olds fighting with sticks, I definitely think there's going to be footage of 8 to 10 foot tall beings chasing people down in a shopping mall,  unless there was some sort of men in black, you know, memory stick that erases everybody's memories and phone footage from iCloud.  I don't know. I just don't believe that probably either.  Right, there's probably going to be footage that comes out about that, either which way. So the weird thing is that we still don't really have the full narrative from inside or outside from the police that were there of what actually happened within this mall. But the reports that came out from within, and people who claim to have been inside of this mall at the time that this happened, was that there were shadow like alien figures chasing people down.  So this comes from CBS news,  Miami,  and here's the article. It says a large brawl between teenagers caused chaos at Bayside marketplace in downtown Miami on Monday night. However, social media users claimed that what ensued then was much more.  As the fight drew a heavy police presence to the area that evening, rumors quickly spread around Twitter and other social media platforms, suggesting that police weren't there to handle a group of rowdy teens, but rather nine or eight to 10 foot tall shadow aliens.  According to an amateur video posted online, there was moments when a big creature could be seen in plain sight standing in front of the entrance to the shopping mall, causing many online conspiracies. Conspiracists  . I like that online. Conspiracists. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a conspiracist to post their takes on exactly what happened that Monday night, and of course the memes came flooding in as well. Hmm. So here is the video of the amount of cop cars that were there, and I'll share this with you if you're on YouTube.  Here it is.  Let's watch this video. Here's the actual like, and we'll just kind of skip around so that we get to the,  get to the  part where you see the unbelievable amount of police officers that were actually here on site.  If it'll load for us.  Here we go.  I'll turn the footage off or the sound off for you guys. So if you're on the podcast, it doesn't blast your ears  just like that.  So it's panning and as it's panning, you see down the road. Of this like, side street in front of the mall. I guess every time I  go to turn the sound off, it's also pausing it.  Here we go, let's just do this.  There we go, it's panning and there's  10, 20,  30, 50,  70, like so many cop cars. Lined all the way down this whole road. So many cop cars.  So, let's go on to the next part here. I don't know if the rumors are about the aliens in the Miami Mall are real, but I do know I've never seen this many police in one place, said one ex user. Wow, thank you for your feedback.  Has some mean videos. Everybody has cell phones. Nobody has an up close video of the eight, 10 foot aliens at the mall. Another user posted. Yeah, good point.  Me greeting the aliens at the mall. Isn't just some memes. All right.  So I don't know what's going on here. I do know  that there's a increasing amount of conversations surrounding beings. Surrounding aliens, surrounding spiritual beings, surrounding, you know, how many times have we heard about aliens over the last year, it is absolutely ramping up in the public psyche, which to me is priming, right? I think we're being primed. I think we're being primed for  some sort of catastrophe event, you know, whether you want to call it project blue beam or whether they're actually is going to have something that ends up coming out  that is real. Yeah. And they're priming us for that thing, potentially. But I do believe we're being primed for the situation. You want to go back to  the most you know, publicized alien events over the last six months, let's say. There was the woman on the plane. That motherfucker right back there is not real. And, you know, remember her, right? That was priming. Right? I think, I think, you know, whether she was a part of it or not, whatever. But I do think that there are certain news entities and algorithms from social medias that can take a video like that and either do one of two things. They can suppress it, or they can add fuel to the fire. They can decide that they're going to give it 50 million views.  They make those decisions, right? So when they decide whether to suppress a video,  amplify it, you should pay attention as to why, right? Maybe that, that's what happened. And maybe she was drunk and maybe nothing happened,  but still  that video was allowed to circulate the way that it did through social media and then through news organizations. So whether or not that was It doesn't have to be intentional. She doesn't have to be an actress. It doesn't have to be this crazy conspiracy to happen. Maybe she was drunk on a plane and took a  Valium when she shouldn't have or a Xanax. And then, Drank too much and she saw something weird and she was all whatever messed up and now she's you know a living meme for the rest of her life. But,  so there was that event the first one that set it off a little bit. And there's been all those the senate hearings and stuff like that too, but let's let's not even talk about those. Let's talk about the social media aspect.  Then, there was the video footage of somebody in their backyard who called the cops  on exactly what's being reported here, an 8 to 10 foot tall being in their backyard that they allegedly found on their security footage.  Interesting.  And now,  another situation that's circulating like crazy is the fact that there was these 8 to 10 foot tall, spiritual, Shadowy beings inside of this mall,  and that's why the police showed up in this way. So I absolutely believe we're being primed in some way, shape or form.  If you want to go back and look at the, you know, then the whole episode on project blue beam,  I'll give you a synopsis.  Project blue beam is essentially the idea that our government is going to cause some sort of  catastrophic illusion that makes it seem as if aliens are attacking us to bring on one world government to fight it off. Okay. Which, you know, is interesting. I, you know, I'm reading a book right now that's actually going to become a Netflix series that I would highly recommend,  which is The Three Body Problem, which is a Chinese book.  It's a three part fiction sci sci fi book that you can read and I highly recommend it. It's beautifully written. It's really well done. It's really interesting. It brings up some philosophical  conversations. It brings it jumps all through these beautiful timelines and There's, there's so many well done elements to it. I would highly recommend it. The Three Body Problem and then  The Dark Forest and then Death Sent is the, the three part series of this, this book series. But it's actually going to be a Netflix series that comes out. Although from the trailer of the Netflix series, I'm a little disappointed because I'm a big fan of this book that I'm reading. I'm on the third one right now. I'm about, I don't know, 25 percent through it, but.  They're not, they're not super light books, but I, again, if you read, go read it, and if you don't read, maybe go read the first one, because it's gonna get on Netflix here in March, and but, but it looked like in the trailer, they kind of butchered it. There was a Chinese  version of it where I'm, seems like they were much more aligned with the way the book was written. And then the Americanized version of it looks like they took a lot of liberties that they shouldn't have taken. And it's done by the same people that did Game of Thrones. So it's obviously going to be pushed like crazy  and it's coming in March, I think. So if you have the time, grab the three body problem, highly recommend it. I think you would like it. I've enjoyed it. It's the first sci fi book I've ever really read but it's been really fun journey for, for myself. So I think you'd like it too. And if you care, it's.  It's  the, the person who wrote the foreword for it, maybe not the foreword, but just wrote a review for it that's on the very front of it is Barack Obama, which is like the most random shit ever,  anyways,  so so that's where I believe, I, I believe we're being primed, I believe this is being allowed to circulate this way, I think that they probably, probably wanted to pump up the conspiracy theorists, just the same way they did with Q, right? They're going to infiltrate the communities and start to put stuff on Reddit and, and, and put the videos out there and, and spark all this conversation so that eventually some, some things going to happen, right? We look back at COVID and even back in 2000 and geez, I don't remember the date, but, but Bill Gates did a, did a,  a.  Speech on viruses and how it's going to cause this nationwide pandemic. And you look at the,  the who or something wrote, wrote a gosh, I can't remember the document now, but you can go back. I've talked about it before. There was a document written on the direct response by the, this, whatever government organization was might've been the NIH about how to drill, how to deal with a Corona virus. If it just so happened to break out and it was like two years prior and it outlined exactly basically how. They approached this  COVID situation. So whatever.  But I, but I think that was priming and I think this is priming now and I think something will happen there. This is all leading up to something and whether it's this year or next year,  the reason that.  And if you listen to my last podcast, and I don't want to go on too many side tangents here, so let's just keep this the mainstream.  I believe we're being primed. I believe that this is happening intentionally. I believe it's being allowed to circulate the way that it is right now because there's going to be something that happens, whether it's a trove of information that they're just getting us ready to like,  to sleep about aliens until they actually tell us, yeah, they're real and hey, we're in contact with them and we've been in contact with them for over a hundred years. And guess how you got internet and guess how you got that cell phone that you can FaceTime your grandma six fucking million miles away from you and get instantaneous access to all the information you could ever want at will and Watch midget porn before you go to bed, whatever it is that you do, use the internet for  and play video games and all of these other, all the technology that has come out from humans  over the last hundred years. You look at the trajectory that we were on for technology,  the, the thousand years prior was nowhere near, nowhere near the amount of technology that we've come out with in the last 50, a hundred years, a hundred years, let's say a hundred years  is unbelievable.  My firm belief, I firmly believe that the reason that we have all the technology we have, internet, cell phones, the basically almost anything and everything that's not a physically tangible, if it's a frequency that goes through the air, like Nikola Tesla stuff, right?  I believe that it is not of this world. I believe that we are gaining technology. tips from some other entity that was either here before us or came from somewhere else. And you can call me crazy if you want to, but I just don't believe you. You're going to tell me that internet was designed by some random idiot like me in a basement by himself, like, or some five guys in a  room together with A sharpie, like, I don't believe you, it's just, it's not convincing to me, but it is super convincing that somebody else who had far more technology than us has been dropping little pieces of it from time to time, whether that's directly through to you know, what Tucker Carlson will come out and say in just a minute here, when we watch his video is that they're in contact with these beings. They've been in contact with these beings. These beings have been here. They've always been here.  And he believes they're spiritual beings.  Just, you know, we'll get into that in a minute.  But anyways, that's the story of the mall. That's my beliefs on that. And this is where I think it's going. I think that there will be some precipice of information that's released or some event. It's going to be information or an event.  And I guess the information would be an event in and of itself if you've been following this long enough.  But I absolutely believe there's going to be a, a,  this happened big precipice that all of this priming has been about for so long. We're being told aliens this, and aliens that, and UFOs are real, and they go into the water, and this and that, and, you know,  And they've basically, you know, I heard Joe Rogan talk about this this way, it's like, they've made being interested in aliens and aliens being released as like, boring now. That nobody really even seems to care. Like it's, it's so wild to see the way that it's been done. It's like, they've lulled everybody to sleep by making it 1, 500 page Senate hearings and Like, they just, when you were growing up in the 90s, you probably thought it was going to be some big saucer, just like,  over top of your town, and then it goes over the farm,  and up goes a cow, from like a big blue beam of light.  That was what we all thought it was going to be. And it's not going to be that. It's not Independence Day. Or maybe it fucking will be, which is probably the most terrifying of the events, right?  But anyways, that's wher

It's Friday, January 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan Muslims kill grandmother, 2 grandkids on Christmas On Christmas Day, Islamic extremists in western Uganda killed a 75-year-old woman and her two grandchildren, reports Morning Star News. The bodies of Edrine Ngwabize and her two grandchildren, 5-year-old Emoni and 13-year-old Mathias, were found inside their home in the Kamwenge District after the Muslims broke in. Edrine's son, Wilson said, “The attackers were shouting the Muslim slogan, ‘Allah Akbar' [God is greater] and saying, ‘We have to teach these infidels a lesson during this Christmas celebration.'” He saw the assailants first set ablaze the farm of a church pastor that is 500 meters from his mother's home at about 7:00 p.m. He rushed to warn his mother and the two children, one of them his own, to take cover. Then he returned to hide his wife, who was ill, in a safe place. He said, “On coming back to pick up my mother and the children, I found the Muslim terrorists were already at my mother's house, and there was a loud bang [from gunshot] … which was so frightening.” He rushed to a nearby police station, and officers shot dead the leader of the assailants, Musa Kamusi, as he was fleeing near the house. The assailants also slaughtered five goats and took some food from the home of the deceased. While Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda's population, they live in high concentrations in the East. The biggest names from Jeffrey Epstein's unsealed court documents The names of acquaintances and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy man who sexually trafficked minors, were released on Wednesday evening in a set of court documents that were part of a suit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015, reports Time Magazine. The documents, the first in more than 200 that are expected to be unsealed over the next week, are part of the defamation lawsuit filed by victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Names of figures that were previously associated with Epstein, such as Prince Andrew and former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, were mentioned in the court documents.  New names include the late Marvin Minsky, a former MIT professor, Hedge billionaire fund manager Glenn Dubin, Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, the late New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's former attorney. Connections to Epstein previously led high-level executives to resign from their positions, like Barclays chief executive Jes Staley. In addition, Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations. Tucker Carlson interviewed Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, which you can watch through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Mark asserts that his brother did not commit suicide, but was murdered by the U.S. government. Texas Board of Ed. protects children from sexually explicit books On December 13th, the Texas State Board of Education voted to approve new guidelines to reassert parental rights and prohibit “harmful” books in school libraries, reports LifeSiteNews.com. They voted 13-1 in favor of a new set of guidelines to ensure school children are protected from offensive content. The move comes after Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year signed into law a new bill, authored by Plano Republican Rep. Jared Patterson, requiring book sellers to rate books for appropriateness, reports KXAN. The seduction and damage of sexually explicit content is comparable to the Proverbs 7:21-23 description of the adulteress who seduces a man.  It says, “With persuasive words, she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once, he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.” The Texas set of guidelines further calls on Lone Star State schools to “recognize that obscene content is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.” Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison argued that the American Library Association “works against parents by fighting to keep pornographic materials in public libraries under the guise of opposing ‘censorship.'”  Pastor slams “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” And finally, at a time when it's increasingly unpopular to believe that salvation is only attained through faith in Jesus Christ, Jonathan Pokluda slammed “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” and stressed that lasting truth and life is found in “no other thing or no other person than Jesus Christ,” reports the Christian Post. In a message delivered to thousands of young people gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, for Passion 2024, Pokluda cited statistics from USA Today revealing that 70% of all major Christian and non-Christian religious groups say many religions can lead to eternal life. He said, “And we might reject this in belief; maybe you hear that, [you think], ‘No, that's not true.' But we accept it in practice because we're not bothered by someone not believing in Jesus. We sleep fine. We ride elevators and walk through hallways with people who are going to Hell, and we're OK. It doesn't seem like we believe that Jesus Christ is the only way. … If you're here and you're a believer, I want to teach you how to address things like, ‘All religions lead to God,' or ‘I'm glad that's your truth.' Or, ‘I'll live my life and get right with God later before I die; I'll figure out the Jesus thing.'” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas and author of Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?: Replace Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues, tackled the idea of truth, emphasizing that Jesus is not just historically true, but the embodiment of Truth itself. He stressed the importance of recognizing absolute truths, regardless of personal beliefs or feelings. In John 14:6, Pokluda noted that “Jesus says, ‘I'm the way to God. There's no other way to God; I'm the only way to God.' And you probably have heard, ‘Well wait, I think there are many ways to God,' or ‘All religions will lead to God,' or ‘Don't all religions actually teach the same thing?' “That's a statement of ignorance. The person who says that all religions teach the same thing has never studied other religions.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, January 5th in the year of our Lord 2024.

The New Year holiday pushed the Jefferey Epstein List release back until the 2nd. Then a filing by John Doe 107, citing “risk of physical harm,” pushed the release back until after the 22nd. The unsealed documents thus far, all 943 pages, mention some of the same names we have heard about over-and-over again including: Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, Al Gore, Bill Richardson, David Copperfield, Kevin Spacey, George Mitchell, Jean Lucy Brunel, Marvin Minsky, and many others. The most unnamed and un-accused person, Donal Trump, however, made the headlines with Clinton as being in the “documents,” despite no sexual accusations being made - in fact, Trump barred Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago property for harassing a young girl in 1999. As per the unsealed documents, and as with all acts of media magic, the sleight of hand was immediately implemented when cameras and pens were quickly turned to a shooting in Iowa at Perry High School Thursday morning (4th). Anger was also directed by the media at Aaron Rodgers for suggesting Jimmy Kimmel may be “hoping that doesn't come out” - the list. Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais received the blunt force of media distraction too for their recent comedy shows, which were considered highly offensive. Anything to help you forget about the implications and direct facts of the Epstein, and other similar, networks which involves the intelligence community's, media, Hollywood, fashion, business, etc.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

An intriguing possibility created by the exponential growth in the power of our technology is that within the lifetimes of people already born, death might become optional. Show co-hosts Calum and David are both excited about this idea, but our excitement is as nothing compared to the exuberant enthusiasm of our guest in this episode, José Cordeiro.José was born in Venezuela, to parents who fled Franco's dictatorship in Spain. He has closed the circle, by returning to Spain (via the USA) while another dictatorship grips Venezuela. His education and early career was thoroughly blue chip – MIT, Georgetown University, INSEAD, and then Schlumberger and Booz Allen.Today, José is the most prominent transhumanist in Spain and Latin America, and indeed a leading light in transhumanist circles worldwide. He is a loyal follower of the ideas of Ray Kurzweil, and in 2018 he co-wrote "La Muerte de la Muerte", which has since been updated and is being published in English as “The Death of Death”. By way of full disclosure, his co-author was David.Selected follow-ups:https://thedeathofdeath.org/https://cordeiro.org/Forthcoming anti-aging conferences:New York, 10-11 Aug: https://www.lifespan.io/ending-age-related-diseases-2023Dublin, 17-20 Aug:  https://longevitysummitdublin.comJohannesburg, 23-24 Aug: https://conference.taffds.orgCopenhagen, 28 Aug - 1 Sept: https://agingpharma.orgAnaheim (CA), 7-10 Sept: https://raadfest.com/2023Topics addressed in this episode include:*) An engineering approach to improving health and longevity*) Some cells and some organisms are already biologically immortal*) How José met Marvin Minsky and Ray Kurzweil at MIT*) Does death give purpose to life?*) Why people have often resolved "to live with death"*) Potential timescales for the attainment of longevity escape velocity for humans*) Examples of changing lifespans for various animal species*) The significance of the Nobel prize-winning research of Shinya Yamanaka*) Limits of the capabilities of evolution*) Different theories as to why aging happens: wear-and-tear vs. built-in obsolescence*) Learning from animals that have extended lifespans - including anti-cancer mechanisms*) Exponential progress: more funding, more people, more resources, more discoveries*) Why longevity may soon become the largest industry in the history of humanity*) The Longevity Dividend: "making money out of people not aging"*) The role of politicians in accelerating the benefits of the Longevity Dividend*) Which bold political leader will change history by being the first to declare aging as a curable disease?*) The case for a European anti-aging agency*) Things to say to people who insist that 80 to 85 years is a sufficiently long lifespan*) The case for optimism, from Victor Frankl*) The prevalence of irrational attitudes toward curing aging vs. curing cancer*) How the MIT Technology Review changed its tune about longevity pioneer Aubrey de Grey*) The three phases in the reception of powerful new ideas*) Aspects of our present lifestyles that will be viewed, in 2045, as being barbaric*) The world's most altruistic causeMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

Jeffrey Epstein had a menagerie of Scientists and scholars that he funded and hung around with. One of those scientists was the famed Marvin Minsky, who is known for his work in areas such as AI and was one of the most highly thought of scientists in his field.However, there is another side to Marvin Minsky according to accusations placed against him.In this episode, we take a look at Marvin Minsky, his relationship with Epstein and the allegations made against him.(commercial at 9:03)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/9/20798900/marvin-minsky-jeffrey-epstein-sex-trafficking-island-court-records-unsealedThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Double Feature on The Extropians, published by Maxwell Tabarrok on June 4, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Link-post for two pieces I just wrote on the Extropians.The Extropians were an online group of techno-optimist transhumanist libertarians active in the 90s who influence a lot of online intellectual culture today, especially in EA and Rationalism. Prominent members include Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom, Robin Hanson, Eric Drexler, Marvin Minsky and all three of the likely candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto (Hal Finney, Wei Dai, and Nick Szabo).The first piece is a deep dive into the archived Extropian forum. It was super fun to write and I was constantly surprised about how much of the modern discourse on AI and existential risk had already been covered in 1996. The second piece is a retrospective on predictions made by Extropians in 1995. Eric Drexler, Nick Szabo and 5 other Extropians give their best estimates for when we'll have indefinite biological lifespans and reproducing asteroid eaters. Thanks for listening.

La historia de la inteligencia artificial es una historia de cómo las máquinas se están volviendo cada vez más inteligentes y cómo eso afecta nuestra vida cotidiana. Comenzó hace mucho tiempo, cuando personas como Ada Lovelace y Alan Turing tuvieron la idea de que las máquinas podrían hacer más cosas que solo matemáticas. Desde entonces, ha habido muchos avances importantes en la tecnología de IA, como las redes neuronales y el aprendizaje profundo. Estos avances nos permiten hacer cosas increíbles, como enseñar a las máquinas a jugar juegos y manejar carros (conducir coches). Pero también hay desafíos, como asegurarnos de que la tecnología de IA sea ética y no discrimine a nadie. Ahora, la inteligencia artificial es una parte importante de nuestra vida cotidiana y seguirá evolucionando en el futuro.Este es un episodio pódcast narrado por escenas, que transcurren así:En la primera escena, vemos a Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage y Alan Turing en el laboratorio de la Universidad de Mánchester en la década de 1940 y 1950. Ada Lovelace había formulado la idea de que una máquina podría ser programada para realizar cualquier tarea, no solo las matemáticas, y Charles Babbage había diseñado una máquina analítica para hacer precisamente eso. Alan Turing continuó con esta tradición y propuso la idea de la prueba de Turing, que evalúa si una máquina puede imitar la inteligencia humana.En la segunda escena, vemos a Alan Turing en la Universidad de Mánchester en 1950, desarrollando su trabajo en la prueba de Turing y sentando las bases de la IA moderna.La tercera escena tiene lugar en la Conferencia de Dartmouth en 1956, donde John McCarthy y Marvin Minsky lideraron un grupo de investigadores para establecer la IA como un campo de estudio formal. Aquí es donde se acuñó el término "inteligencia artificial".En la cuarta escena, vemos a Frank Rosenblatt en los Laboratorios Bell de Nueva Jersey a finales de 1950, inventando el perceptrón, un tipo de red neural artificial.En la quinta escena, la acción se traslada a la Universidad de California y a la de Toronto, en la década de 1980, donde Geoffrey Hinton y otros investigadores trabajaron en el renacimiento de las redes neuronales artificiales.En la sexta y última escena, vemos a científicos e ingenieros de empresas tecnológicas como Apple, Amazon y Google, así como a investigadores de DeepMind, trabajar en el desarrollo del aprendizaje profundo y en la aplicación de la IA en la vida cotidiana.La historia de la IA es una historia de avances y retos, de descubrimientos sorprendentes y cambios dramáticos, y de un futuro lleno de posibilidades.

La historia de la inteligencia artificial es una historia de cómo las máquinas se están volviendo cada vez más inteligentes y cómo eso afecta nuestra vida cotidiana. Comenzó hace mucho tiempo, cuando personas como Ada Lovelace y Alan Turing tuvieron la idea de que las máquinas podrían hacer más cosas que solo matemáticas. Desde entonces, ha habido muchos avances importantes en la tecnología de IA, como las redes neuronales y el aprendizaje profundo. Estos avances nos permiten hacer cosas increíbles, como enseñar a las máquinas a jugar juegos y manejar carros (conducir coches). Pero también hay desafíos, como asegurarnos de que la tecnología de IA sea ética y no discrimine a nadie. Ahora, la inteligencia artificial es una parte importante de nuestra vida cotidiana y seguirá evolucionando en el futuro.Este es un episodio pódcast narrado por escenas, que transcurren así:En la primera escena, vemos a Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage y Alan Turing en el laboratorio de la Universidad de Mánchester en la década de 1940 y 1950. Ada Lovelace había formulado la idea de que una máquina podría ser programada para realizar cualquier tarea, no solo las matemáticas, y Charles Babbage había diseñado una máquina analítica para hacer precisamente eso. Alan Turing continuó con esta tradición y propuso la idea de la prueba de Turing, que evalúa si una máquina puede imitar la inteligencia humana.En la segunda escena, vemos a Alan Turing en la Universidad de Mánchester en 1950, desarrollando su trabajo en la prueba de Turing y sentando las bases de la IA moderna.La tercera escena tiene lugar en la Conferencia de Dartmouth en 1956, donde John McCarthy y Marvin Minsky lideraron un grupo de investigadores para establecer la IA como un campo de estudio formal. Aquí es donde se acuñó el término "inteligencia artificial".En la cuarta escena, vemos a Frank Rosenblatt en los Laboratorios Bell de Nueva Jersey a finales de 1950, inventando el perceptrón, un tipo de red neural artificial.En la quinta escena, la acción se traslada a la Universidad de California y a la de Toronto, en la década de 1980, donde Geoffrey Hinton y otros investigadores trabajaron en el renacimiento de las redes neuronales artificiales.En la sexta y última escena, vemos a científicos e ingenieros de empresas tecnológicas como Apple, Amazon y Google, así como a investigadores de DeepMind, trabajar en el desarrollo del aprendizaje profundo y en la aplicación de la IA en la vida cotidiana.La historia de la IA es una historia de avances y retos, de descubrimientos sorprendentes y cambios dramáticos, y de un futuro lleno de posibilidades. Desde sus orígenes hasta sus aplicaciones actuales, la IA ha evolucionado significativamente a lo largo de los años. Además, como se mencionó anteriormente, se han formado equipos de ética en IA para abordar los desafíos éticos y sociales, pero también hay preocupaciones sobre la eliminación de estos equipos por parte de grandes empresas tecnológicas.

Support us! https://www.patreon.com/mlst Dr. Walid Saba recently reviewed the book Machines Will Never Rule The World, which argues that strong AI is impossible. He acknowledges the complexity of modeling mental processes and language, as well as interactive dialogues, and questions the authors' use of "never." Despite his skepticism, he is impressed with recent developments in large language models, though he questions the extent of their success. We then discussed the successes of cognitive science. Walid believes that something has been achieved which many cognitive scientists would never accept, namely the ability to learn from data empirically. Keith agrees that this is a huge step, but notes that there is still much work to be done to get to the "other 5%" of accuracy. They both agree that the current models are too brittle and require much more data and parameters to get to the desired level of accuracy. Walid then expresses admiration for deep learning systems' ability to learn non-trivial aspects of language from ingesting text only. He argues that this is an "existential proof" of language competency and that it would be impossible for a group of luminaries such as Montague, Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, and a thousand other bright engineers to replicate the same level of competency as we have now with LLMs. He then discusses the problem of semantics and pragmatics, as well as symbol grounding, and expresses skepticism about grounded meaning and embodiment. He believes that artificial intelligence should be used to solve real-world problems which require human intelligence but not believe that robots should be built to understand love or other subjective feelings. We discussed the unique properties of natural human language. Walid believes that the core unique property is the ability to do abductive reasoning, which is the process of reasoning to the best explanation or understanding. Keith adds that there are two types of abduction - one for generating hypotheses and one for justifying them. In both cases, abductive reasoning involves choosing from a set of plausible possibilities. Finally, we discussed the book "Machines Will Never Rule The World" and its argument that the current mathematics and technology is not enough to model complex systems. Walid agrees with the book's argument but is still optimistic that a new mathematics can be discovered. Keith suggests the possibility of an AGI discovering the mathematics to create itself. They also discussed how the book could serve as a reminder to temper the hype surrounding AI and to focus on exploration, creativity, and daring ideas. Walid ended by stressing the importance of science, noting that engineers should play within the Venn diagrams drawn by scientists, rather than trying to hack their way through it.

Summary Machine learning is a transformative tool for the organizations that can take advantage of it. While the frameworks and platforms for building machine learning applications are becoming more powerful and broadly available, there is still a significant investment of time, money, and talent required to take full advantage of it. In order to reduce that barrier further Adam Oliner and Brian Calvert, along with their other co-founders, started Graft. In this episode Adam and Brian explain how they have built a platform designed to empower everyone in the business to take part in designing and building ML projects, while managing the end-to-end workflow required to go from data to production. Announcements Hello and welcome to the Machine Learning Podcast, the podcast about machine learning and how to bring it from idea to delivery. Predibase is a low-code ML platform without low-code limits. Built on top of our open source foundations of Ludwig and Horovod, our platform allows you to train state-of-the-art ML and deep learning models on your datasets at scale. Our platform works on text, images, tabular, audio and multi-modal data using our novel compositional model architecture. We allow users to operationalize models on top of the modern data stack, through REST and PQL – an extension of SQL that puts predictive power in the hands of data practitioners. Go to themachinelearningpodcast.com/predibase today to learn more and try it out! Building good ML models is hard, but testing them properly is even harder. At Deepchecks, they built an open-source testing framework that follows best practices, ensuring that your models behave as expected. Get started quickly using their built-in library of checks for testing and validating your model’s behavior and performance, and extend it to meet your specific needs as your model evolves. Accelerate your machine learning projects by building trust in your models and automating the testing that you used to do manually. Go to themachinelearningpodcast.com/deepchecks today to get started! Your host is Tobias Macey and today I’m interviewing Brian Calvert and Adam Oliner about Graft, a cloud-native platform designed to simplify the work of applying AI to business problems Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you describe what Graft is and the story behind it? What is the core thesis of the problem you are targeting? How does the Graft product address that problem? Who are the personas that you are focused on working with both now in your early stages and in the future as you evolve the product? What are the capabilities that can be unlocked in different organizations by reducing the friction and up-front investment required to adopt ML/AI? What are the user-facing interfaces that you are focused on providing to make that adoption curve as shallow as possible? What are some of the unavoidable bits of complexity that need to be surfaced to the end user? Can you describe the infrastructure and platform design that you are relying on for the Graft product? What are some of the emerging "best practices" around ML/AI that you have been able to build on top of? As new techniques and practices are discovered/introduced how are you thinking about the adoption process and how/when to integrate them into the Graft product? What are some of the new engineering challenges that you have had to tackle as a result of your specific product? Machine learning can be a very data and compute intensive endeavor. How are you thinking about scalability in a multi-tenant system? Different model and data types can be widely divergent in terms of the cost (monetary, time, compute, etc.) required. How are you thinking about amortizing vs. passing through those costs to the end user? Can you describe the adoption/integration process for someone using Graft? Once they are onboarded and they have connected to their various data sources, what is the workflow for someone to apply ML capabilities to their problems? One of the challenges about the current state of ML capabilities and adoption is understanding what is possible and what is impractical. How have you designed Graft to help identify and expose opportunities for applying ML within the organization? What are some of the challenges of customer education and overall messaging that you are working through? What are the most interesting, innovative, or unexpected ways that you have seen Graft used? What are the most interesting, unexpected, or challenging lessons that you have learned while working on Graft? When is Graft the wrong choice? What do you have planned for the future of Graft?

«¿Heredarán los robots la Tierra? Sí, pero serán nuestros hijos», dijo Marvin Minsky, uno de los padres de la IA. Asunto apasionante que no se refiere al futuro sino ya al presente. Eneko Osaba, doctor en Inteligencia Artificial y director del podcast “Arqueología Nintendo”, nos hablará de casos clásicos, como los videojuegos, los asistentes de voz (tipo Alexa o el Google Home) o el reconocimiento de matrículas en los garajes… Y también de casos prácticos de la IA en el mundo del arte pues puede ayudar a la restauración de obras de arte, o dentro del periodismo aplicada en la detección y eliminación de fake news o la creación automática de artículos. La IA aplicada a la conducción de coches automáticos o la IA en el mundo del deporte (por ejemplo, en las camisetas de jugadores de fútbol) o en los NFT (Non-fungible token) o en el campo de la biomedicina, diseño de fármacos o estructura de proteínas, tema éste que desarrollará Carmen Fernández. Para terminar con algunos poemas creados con sistemas de IA. Y en la Extróbula abordaremos la necesidad de crear marcos normativos internacionales y éticos que aseguren que estas tecnologías ayuden -y no perjudiquen- a la humanidad.

Early in his career, IEEE fellow and retired National Science Foundation program director Paul Werbos developed the neural network training algorithm known as error backpropagation, which has been foundational to the vast majority of today’s advances in artificial intelligence. Listen in as he discusses his work in this area and other topics, including his tenure with the National Science Foundation,… Source

In any discussion of artificial intelligence and machine learning today, artificial neural networks are bound to come up. What are artificial neural networks, how have they developed, and what are they poised to do in the future? Host Angelo Kastroulis dives into the history, compares them to biological systems that they are meant to mimic, and talks about how hard problems like this one need to be handled carefully.Angelo begins with a discussion of how biological neural networks help make our brain a powerful computer of complexity. He then talks about how artificial neural networks recruit the same structures and connections to create artificial intelligence. To understand what we mean by artificial intelligence, Angelo explains how the Turing Test works and how Turing's work forms a foundation for modern AI. He then discusses other early pioneers in this work, namely Frank Rosenblatt, who worked on models that could learn or “perceptrons.” Angelo then relates the history of how this work was criticized by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert and how mistakes in their own work put the potential advances of artificial neural networks back by about two decades.Using image recognition as a case study, Angelo ends the episode by talking about about various approaches' benefits and drawbacks to illustrate what we can do with artificial neural networks today.CitationsHebb, D.O.

The same technology that lets your daughter call up her favorite songs in Alexa is also used for government surveillance, racial profiling, and the creation of deep fake YouTube videos from troll farms. While neural networks make our lives easier, they also create ethical tangles and questions. New York Times Silicon Valley reporter, Cade Metz tackles these moral disparities through hundreds of exclusive interviews in his book, Genius Makers.In this episode, Cade talks about factors that shaped the A.I. technology fueling the biggest tech companies: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and OpenAI, a new lab founded by Elon Musk. Listen as Greg and Cade discuss the fierce conflict between national interests, shareholder value, the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the very human concerns about privacy, security, and prejudice. Episode Quotes:Why are open-source companies like Geoffrey Hinton's DNN research considered valuable when people already have access to their information?It's an idea that dated back to the fifties, but by 2012, when Geoff is essentially auctioning himself off, there are few people on Earth who know how that idea works. Because most of the world thought it would never work. And that's the dynamic there. To this day, it's the talent that is valuable. We needed a lot of stuff for this to work. You need the data, and you need the computer processing power needed to analyze that data. But you need the people to make that work. Getting a neural network to work, some people described it as a dark art or black magic. It's about sort of coaxing something out of this data. These systems literally learn by analyzing the data, and it's more data than you and I could ever wrap our heads around. So, it's about coaxing those machines to learn on their own. They do take off in ways that are beyond us, but you need these people to guide them. And that's really what happenedThoughts on institutional frictions that shaped game-changing ideas and progress on neural networksYou have these battles between academics and people like Marvin Minsky ended up having the upper hand, right? Sometimes, it's about who has the loudest voice and who can convince the Department of Defense to give them the money for their particular project.And you see the whole industry shift to what you call good old-fashioned AI, that symbolic AI. Where you're basically putting engineers in a room, and they define how the technology's going to work— rule by rule, line of code by line of code. That became what people had the most hope for. That would be the future and not these systems that could learn on their own from data.Thoughts on pursuing ideas and harnessing curiosity to overcome dead endsI love that you mentioned this theme of his own lab at the University of Toronto. It was old ideas are new. What that meant was, it didn't matter how old the idea was, what mattered was, had you proven that it wouldn't work? If you had not proven that, then you should keep working on it. No matter how much time went by. If you got to that point where you proved it was wrong, then you could put it aside. But until then, you keep working.How did persistence help Geoffrey succeed in finding the missing piece in the neural network?Most of the world at that point had discarded the idea of a neural network. Even his own thesis adviser had abandoned this idea and had recently moved on to that symbolic method you talked about. Yet, Geoff still grabbed hold of that idea and did not let go for decades. So, he had this fundamental belief and that is what drove him.Time Code Guide:00:01:32 What drew you to the stories of these intellectual heroes00:05:02 Stories of people who believe in an idea even though those around them do not and the will to continue to work on it00:07:16 How technologies work for the good and how it's a cause for concern in other areas 00:15:12 The kind of personality needed when you keep on meeting dead ends00:16:53 Success and being removed from mainstream00:24:26 Nonlinear regression and curve-fitting00:27:32 Choosing between writing grants or doing pitches00:29:28 Inevitable discussion about ethics, difficult choices, and large corporations trying to decide how technology will be used00:33:11 Triumph over experts and the champions in the worldShow Links:Guest ProfileCade Metz Author ProfileCade Metz on TwitterCade Metz on LinkedInHis WorkNew York Times ArticlesArticles on WiredMuck Rack ArticlesGenius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World
