Summary
This document appears to be page 184 of a manuscript or essay, likely written by Stephen Wolfram. It details the history of Artificial Intelligence, citing the stagnation caused by Minsky and Papert's work on perceptrons, the rise and fall of expert systems, and the narrator's personal journey in developing Wolfram|Alpha between 2002 and 2003 based on computational knowledge rather than brain simulation. The document bears a House Oversight stamp, indicating it was part of a production of documents, likely related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's connections with scientists.

"People said, 'These guys have written a proof that neural networks can’t do anything interesting, therefore no neural networks can do anything interesting, so let’s forget about neural networks.'"Source
