This is part of a wry joke at the expense of LISPers and lambda calculators:
"... the heretic is chained in the dungeon where he is forced to learn Common Lisp on a Commodore 64 and interact with rapacious Lemmy-ings and Mastodonians."
And released within hours of each other comes Adam Neely on how hard it will be for #AI to pass a #Music Direction Test https://youtu.be/N8NyEjB_XeA
It is almost like these two coordinated their releases yet they never acknowledge each other's existence
14 years after Alan Turing's death, an unpublished manuscript emerged where he suggested the idea of a "disordered" computer that anticipated the rise of connectionism.
In Reflections of Alan Turing, Dermot strips off the layers to uncover the real story. It's time to discover a fresh legacy of Alan Turing for the twenty-first century.
Mathematicians have discovered a strange link between the way zebra stripes form and how sperm swim. If you’re one of the few who saw this coming, you have something in common with Alan Turing, the famed English mathematician who once saw a connection between how squiggly or spotty patterns arise in nature. Here’s more from Science Alert: https://flip.it/ye0Iml #Science#Math#Animals#Zebras#AlanTuring
🏛🖼 We've rearranged the exhibition space. Feel free to visit the Wall of Giants and the Giants of Information Technology. Which historical figure from this field has inspired you the most? 😍
Alan Turing was a mathematician & cryptographer who was a leading code-breaker in the team that decrypted Nazi Germany’s Enigma machine during WWII. He inspired modern computing & what became AI.
Instead of being hailed as a genius & hero, Turing was convicted as a homosexual & forced to endure chemical castration. He died by suicide at 41 in 1954.
The British government didn’t apologize until 2009 & Queen Elizabeth II finally pardoned him in 2013. #history#science
Turing was a mathematician and computer scientist. Literally literally all electronic computers (including smartphones) are based on stuff he worked out.
He led the UK's codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park, and it is estimated his genius shortened World War II by two years.
After the war, he was convicted of homosexuality and sentenced to chemical castration. This drove him to suicide.
Imagine if #AlanTuring got in a time machine and got here and everybody's saying "yeah we've got an #AI that can generate text of any length on any topic that sounds convincingly like it was written by a human in seconds, but it's not really intelligent because it doesn't understand what it's writing, so sometimes it writes things that aren't true"
Remembering Alan Turing, the gay British war hero who died after being persecuted by his country (www.thepinknews.com)
Alan Turing was a gay war hero and mathematician who broke the Enigma code at Bletchley Park in WWII, but his story ended in tragedy.
