HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016921.jpg
The text explores the parallels between biological evolution, specifically Hox genes, and artificial intelligence, arguing that AI currently suffers from a "mind-body problem" due to its lack of physical form. It advocates for "digital materials"—modular, programmable physical components analogous to amino acids or Lego bricks—to bridge the gap between computation and fabrication. The author references pioneers like von Neumann, Shannon, and Turing to contextualize the convergence of digital information and physical construction.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016919.jpg
This document is page 116 of a larger text, stamped with 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016919', indicating it is part of a congressional investigation (likely related to Epstein's ties to scientific funding/institutions like MIT). The text itself is a historical narrative detailing the origins of digital computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It focuses on the work of Claude Shannon at MIT and Bell Labs, and John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study, specifically covering the transition from analog to digital systems, error correction thresholds, and the exponential scaling of data processing.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016880.jpg
This document is page 77 of a larger work, likely a book or collection of essays, bearing the Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016880'. It features an essay titled 'Tech Prophecy and the Underappreciated Causal Power of Ideas' by Harvard Professor Steven Pinker. The text discusses Artificial Intelligence, the computational theory of mind, and the work of Norbert Wiener regarding cybernetics and entropy. While the text does not explicitly mention Jeffrey Epstein, it is part of a House Oversight Committee production, likely related to investigations into Epstein's funding of scientific research and academia.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016854.jpg
This document is page 51 of an academic or scientific essay/book discussing the history of computing and biology. It draws parallels between John von Neumann's abstract machines and DNA replication (referencing Watson and Crick), contrasts von Neumann architecture with Harvard architecture, and discusses the historical relationship between von Neumann, Alan Turing, and Norbert Wiener. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was included in documents produced for a congressional investigation, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's ties to the scientific community.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016853.jpg
This document appears to be a page from an essay or book titled 'The Inhuman Mess Our Machines Have Gotten Us Into' by Rodney Brooks, an MIT computer scientist. The text discusses the history of computing and cybernetics, focusing on the contributions of Norbert Wiener, Alan Turing, and John von Neumann. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, suggesting it was included as evidence in a Congressional investigation, likely related to the inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's connections to MIT and the Media Lab.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016842.jpg
This document appears to be page 39 of a philosophical essay or manuscript found in the House Oversight files (Bates stamp 016842). The text discusses the evolution of decentralized control systems, tracing a path from the Cold War defense system SAGE to airline reservation systems (Sabre), and finally to modern social networks and data mining (implicitly Facebook and Google). The author theorizes on 'laws of artificial intelligence,' citing cybernetician W. Ross Ashby and mathematician John von Neumann to argue that complex systems cannot be reduced to simple descriptions and eventually begin to control the 'meaning' they were meant to map.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016840.jpg
This document is page 37 of a production for the House Oversight Committee (Bates 016840). It contains an essay titled 'The Third Law' by historian George Dyson. The text explores the history of computing, distinguishing between 'Old Testament' logic (Hobbes, Leibniz) and 'New Testament' machines (Turing, von Neumann), and discusses the distinctions and transitions between analog and digital computing.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016839.jpg
This document is a page from a House Oversight Committee file (Bates Stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016839) containing a biographical introduction or essay summary regarding historian George Dyson. It details his 2005 visit to Google, where he learned that Google's book scanning project was intended to train Artificial Intelligence. The text outlines Dyson's views on the resurgence of analog computing and the potential future of AI.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016824.jpg
A page from a scientific essay or book chapter discussing the history and skepticism of the 'technological singularity.' The author references work on quantum computers and cites historical figures like John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener, as well as modern figures like Ray Kurzweil, Stephen Hawking, and Elon Musk regarding the potential risks and benefits of AI and superintelligence. The document bears a House Oversight stamp, indicating it is part of an investigation file, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific community.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016814.jpg
This document is page 11 of a House Oversight Committee exhibit (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016814). It contains an essay or book excerpt discussing the history of cybernetics and artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on Norbert Wiener's 1950 book 'The Human Use of Human Beings.' The text highlights Wiener's early warnings about the dangers of technological control and commercialization, contrasting his views with contemporaries like John von Neumann and John McCarthy, who favored commercialization and the development of 'artificial intelligence' over Wiener's 'cybernetics.'
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015913.jpg
This document appears to be a page (p. 223) from a book or manuscript titled 'Turing's Machine,' included in a House Oversight evidence production. The text discusses the history of computing, contrasting hard-wired relay logic with Alan Turing's concept of software ('soft-wired' instructions), mentions Charles Babbage, and references John von Neumann's 1943 work on the ENIAC for the US Army. It contains no direct references to Jeffrey Epstein or his associates on this specific page, though it is part of a larger discovery file.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016075.jpg
This document is page 385 of a bibliography containing citations for books and articles related to neuroscience, artificial intelligence, quantum consciousness, and psychology. Notable authors include Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose, scientists known for theories on quantum consciousness often associated with transhumanist discussions. The document bears the stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016075', indicating it was collected as evidence by the House Oversight Committee, likely in relation to the Epstein investigation given his known patronage of these specific scientific fields.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016404.jpg
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.
