I have recently learned more about generative text algorithms and am interested in taking different redacted texts relating to the Mueller Report/current events and training a very simple text generator on that data set. Theoretically by doing that one could assume that **eventually** some of the redacted portions of the text would be generated by the algorithm. Maybe. Could we expose some state secrets on accident? Probably not, but interesting to try!?

“The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.”
