What tech stack did you use?
what's the point of this? at least the jmail suite was based in real facts and documents. is this just for lolz? strange behavior.
asked it who it was

> jeff epstein, financier > just chillin rn lol > u?

hilarious project, an awkward omegle chat with a dead pedophile

why do u need my number? why not just a webapp
interesting.. this things is a proactive agent aswell..
dont have imessage and dont wanna use it, but can you ask when he thinks the files will be released? gotta ask
“Get your phone number flagged by the authorities in minutes! Don’t wait, start today!”
I’m getting flashbacks on his 2009 deposition trial and something to do with “eggs”
I am hesitant to shoot down anyone's work in Show HN but this is deliberate obscenity in service of (I assume) rage baiting. It's all well for art to be transgressive and offensive but if it's not in service of a goal remotely worth having then it's juvenile. Breathing life into a vile monster who remains a contentious subject is just gross and not worth publishing.

OP, I think your work on integrating with iMessage is cool, I think it's cool that you set out to build an iMessage agent and succeeded, but I think this is not your best work. I look forward to seeing what you publish in the future but this one gets two thumbs way down from me.

It's just a chatbot shitpost, it's not that deep
Abysmally shallow. Clearly trained on documents centred upon his legal case and not, for example, of whatever mathematical talents got him a teaching position, allowed him to bluff his way past the likes of Marvin Minsky, and what (if anything) drove his investment strategies.
spending more than 4 hours building this... is a choice
it's provocative marketing for the photon imessage sdk/api so probably worthwhile since it's already getting engagement here
He’s not responding…
We could be building chatbot clones of Cicero or Samuel Pepys or even an asshole-genius like Feynman.

But that's all too good for us, we don't deserve goo things; we get dead pedophile bankers instead.

Characters like that are available through system prompts on any LLM. Unfortunately I find the tone of the prose doesn't change much from one author to another, it's still very chatgptlike, but sprinkles in references to the topics the author might go on about.

Also there's not really evidence epstein was a banker, no one knows who was financing his operation or why millionaires would add to his portfolio without any expectation of returns, since, the money was never actually invested in anything

Ugh. What's next? Chat with Hitler?
I'm sure there are plenty of Hitler chatbots already, that's low hanging fruit. There are already four games on Steam where I think you can fuck Hitler. One as a furry.

My Steam search is going to look weird for a while...
