It's pretty good at finding the exact moment of interest in a two-minute video... (and horses).

By the way, speaking of horse_ebooks, someone recently told me the identity of the person that runs it, an artist, and that it is an art project that they manipulate rather than a truly random bot. Now they may be wrong, or making it up, but it seemed like truth to me.
Would it really matter if this were the case? Would this change our love and relationship with the account? Does it make it more interesting or less if the random snippets are being chosen with care? Hard to say, but I'm glad that account (and this cool project) makes us ask questions like these.
