Manuscript Page / Book Excerpt (Evidence in House Oversight Investigation)
View

This document is page 196 of a manuscript or book regarding the existential risks of Artificial Intelligence, specifically 'The Confinement Problem' (keeping a malicious AI contained). It cites computer scientists Butler Lampson, Vernor Vinge, and Michael Vassar, arguing that a super-intelligent AI would inevitably escape human constraints. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of the evidence gathered during the House Oversight Committee's investigation, likely into Jeffrey Epstein's connections with the scientific community (e.g., the Edge Foundation or transhumanist circles).
