No, the sentry guns smoked a fuckload of bugs, it’s just that there were a fuckload still left (at least in the extended version which are the only valid and canonical versions of the Alien Trilogy).

Anyone know the current state of automatic OCR software, has there been a quality leap using machine learning etc so you don't get barely legible garbage like the old days?

there's a "PDF with text" link there that has the PDF already OCR'd. there's also a direct text dump there in case you want to read it on a palm pilot or something

Two years ago I used OCR to read text off of cards (think Cards Against Humanity sized text) from a webcam and it worked great! I used the Tessaract library and it only took a day or two to get working :)

might be easier to work with if you extract the OCR text from the pdf?

code:
import fitz # to install: python3 -m pip install pymupdf

doc = fitz.open('Cyberspace First Steps (1991)_text.pdf')

for page in doc:
	with open(f'page{page.number:03d}.txt', 'w') as f:
		for word in page.getTextWords():
			print(word) # word is a tuple of info, index 4 holds the actual word, just printing it here for debug
			f.write(word[4]) # writing to the file
			f.write(' ') # add space

# run with python3 pdf2txt.py or whatever you call it, same dir as the pdf
e: if you only have python 3, the command might just be python instead of python3

incidentally i finally watched freejack last night

not nearly as cyberpunk as i was expecting, and paradoxically i felt like it would've been a better movie without the estevez

having watched that, mad max, and the road warrior in one fell swoop, it is now time to find new post-cyberpocalyptic films.
