    I was reading an article today by Niall Ferguson on the AI Boom. He used a rather clever (I thought) analogy using Dr Seuss' Green Eggs And Ham storyline, where Sam-I-Am continuously pitched green eggs and ham to other characters. I came away from it with a better understanding of the pros and cons of AI's rapid advancement and the realization that Sam-I-Am has given up the spoiled breakfast menu pitch in favor of the Epstein files.

    My version of the analogy was lifted from this article. https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-fergus...m_medium=email

    Now, an explanation: An odd little creature, Sam-I-Am, spends the entirety of the book pitching green eggs and ham, an unappetizing dish, to a skeptical audience. With every page the pitch grows more elaborate. Would you like them on a boat? With a goat? In the rain? On a train? Surely there must be some context in which green eggs would be appealing? Sam-I-Am just needs to find it.

    The modern day Sam-I-Am is the Democratic Party/Media trying to sell scandal against Orange Man through the Epstein files, they just haven't found a way to close the deal yet. But they persist. It hasn't worked yet on a plane, it hasn't worked yet in the rain. etc., etc.,.

    Without visiting the way back machine to confirm, my version was that Trump, Patel, Hannity and other conservatives sold the conspiracy theories way before the big dem fallout picked it up. They have basically been caught up in their own deceptions. Horton hears a who?

    I'll believe the files will be released when I see it.
