This is a noble gesture but you should know that this is a deliberate "drip" tactic that is utilized to soften the impact gradually, making the consumption and analysis of this data part of a broader social normalization process which works ironically against the interests of any substantial response that could occur.
Essentially we are helping them brain hack the masses into accepting the status quo.

Zeteo News published some searchable archive. It seems this links the original (?) PDFs and provides a Google-based search.

I would say these are 'tagged'; organized is a bit of a stretch, IMO.
This is some sort of searchable index that reminds me a lot of what the web was like prior to Google; the Altavista days. It's just a jumble of poorly formatted text that isn't really contextually aware and is largely useless for the volume of textual documents.
Then there's the whole 'I landed on an email that offers the text of an email that, I assume, the pertinent information is in the attachment listed, of which I cannot easily access.

I'd be more interested to see how you enhance this in v2.

Great job!
Would be nice if the messages are formatted with just date, sender and message and the metadata is hidden in a popup or whatever.

This is the kind of web site that makes we wish searches were encoded in the URL (...search?page=40), so URL edits allow me to jump anywhere, especially to the last page.

Would love to know more about the underlying tech

This is an odd one; it seems to be the text of an AI book by James Tagg ?

Thanks for putting this together.
The stuff I am coming across in here is WILD.
If you could find a way to make some of this more easily searchable/readable/etc. (Minimize headings/convert links/fix line breaks etc)
BTW, the chat logs of other parties anonymous, but you can clearly tell these are with Steve Bannon:

Looks great and terrifying, as expected.

This is great!
I made an attempt at something similar, but putting it online was a bit beyond what I know how to do.

You need an AI to go through each one and assign a score of how damning it is so we can sort all files by that.

How long until people build EpsteinGPT that does semantic search on this?

This is of course not what they're still trying to get released, so what is it based on?
