I’m writing this series that explains the “Big History” behind January 6th — and the real story spans decades. Here’s what happened, and why—and importantly, how we might keep it from happening again. This is Part 1 of 6. More soon!

Part 3 is now available. Please read + share!
davetroy.medium.com/the-big-histor…
And now, part 4, where some major themes are brought together!
🚨 And... here is the beast at the center of it all. Part five of my six part series on the "Big History" behind January 6th: Molestation, Cancel Culture, QAnon, and the man that connects "I AM" theosophy and the Koch family.

And... part six, the stunning conclusion. With a coda coming soon, talking about what we might expect to see next.

Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.
The reason these 'files' will never be disclosed is that no one can deal with the reality of what's actually happened. The sexual stuff is a sideshow compared to this broader story arc, and rooted mostly in Epstein's own deviancy. But it's very noisy and creates leverage.
The investigation by @RonWyden of 4,725 wire transfers totaling >$1.1bn is our best hope of nailing this down. But we should expect that the bulk of this has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with influence and KGB subversion.

1/Russia and Thiel are done with Trump: Khanna, Massie, Greene, Boebert, Mace, Sherman, McGovern sign discharge petition to force release of Epstein files; will create significant public pressure for dirt on Trump, which will likely be difficult to fulfill.
2/Meanwhile Johnson, who is backed by authors of Project Russia, is running his own parallel game w/House Oversight, promising to release even more. But neither camp is talking about Sen. Wyden’s investigation into Epstein’s $1bn+ money flows that would reveal the full scope…
3/of his activities, which include infiltrating scientific research institutions in the same manner pursued by Robert Maxwell. Outside the prurient and illegal sexual activity, this is where the biggest story lies, and you can expect that Russia, Thiel and their allies…

1/Increasingly bothered by the argument that the path to “intelligence” requires the theft of all known intellectual property. That’s not anything but theft, and if you were actually building “intelligence” it theoretically requires near zero training data.
2/If, as proponents argue, we are simulating human intelligence “in silico” then we should be able to build what amounts to a 12 year old’s mind. A 12 year old can be extremely “intelligent” (genius level in fact) but has necessarily trained on very little data.
3/Few are talking about solving that problem, because we really haven’t figured out the neuro-symbolic architecture to do it. Instead, we are vacuuming up copyrighted works (stored intellectual work of others) and billing that as “PhD level intelligence.” What utter bullshit.

The funniest part about Zuck throwing billions into AI is his naming of the effort as “superintelligence,” as if that alone will manifest the gods. The second funniest part is he desperately tried to manifest the metaverse just 3 years ago — and failed at that, too.
What this tells us is that the core FB properties are aging cash cows and Zuck is desperate to invest billions in anything that will ensure his personal relevance as a tech titan 10-20 years from now. Good luck, but throwing money at things is no guarantee of success.
As @GaryMarcus and I have been saying the last few years, AI is up against some very challenging limits, and despite the massive investments in the space, progress has plateaued. Plenty to be done with what’s been built, but unclear the investments will be recouped anytime soon.

1/Yesterday, OpenAI demonstrated that even after spending untold billions on scaling AI models, LLM’s alone aren’t the ticket to achieving superintelligence. This is linear growth, not an exponential leap, and that has several implications…
2/First, it vindicates people like @GaryMarcus who have correctly argued that language-only architectures lack capacity for reason and actual world modeling, and that neuro-symbolic architectures are needed. I agree, and while we can say “I told you so,” that’s not important…
3/relative to other implications. Much bigger is the coming reckoning in the marketplace. Models are commodities. Application developers have opportunities to make money, but there is likely to be a big contraction in the AI sector generally. That’s fine and a natural…

As the Epstein blackmail/espionage story continues to fall apart, bookmark this for future reference. At some point people will figure this out.
