HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016948.jpg

This document appears to be page 145 of a book or essay regarding the intersection of art, science, and artificial intelligence, stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. It features quotes from scientist von Foerster regarding cybernetics and artist Hito Steyerl regarding 'artificial stupidity' and the political impact of Twitter bots during the 2016 U.S. election and Brexit. While part of a larger discovery cache (potentially related to Epstein or similar investigations given the user prompt context), the text itself is cultural criticism and does not mention Epstein or financial crimes directly.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016365.jpg

This text explores the intersection of cybernetics, AI, and art, quoting von Foerster on circular thinking and introducing Hito Steyerl's concept of "artificial stupidity." Steyerl argues that current AI is often overrated and unsophisticated, citing the use of simple Twitter bots in political events like the 2016 U.S. election and Brexit as examples of low-grade technology having monumental social impacts.
