Just finished rewatching #TheImitationGame. Suspect i'm now in even more of a blubbering heap than when i first saw it however many years ago.

what exactly did Jean Innes of The Alan Turing Institute do wrong?
the news reports see to focus on emotion and zero fact
what is the institute’s "reformed focus"?
what was the "overhaul" supposed to achieve, and why?
3 or 4 fundamental facts would be helpful, no?
too many words and not enough news!

The Guardian · Head of UK’s beleaguered Alan Turing Institute resigns
Continued thread
He laid the foundational theory for the field of #AI in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence"
Here's the neat twist:
He framed his paper as a reply to #AdaLovelace
'(6) Lady Lovelace's Objection
...In it she states, "The Analytical Engine has no pretensions to
originate anything. It can do *whatever we know how to order it* to perform" (her italics)...'

It’s quite ironic that an organisation established in commemoration of one of our greatest geniuses may fail because its leaders appear to be too incompetent to run it…

www.bbc.comStaff fear UK's Turing AI Institute at risk of collapseA complaint raises concerns about the funding risks and a "toxic" culture at the Alan Turing Institute.
It's like AI is a hustle to everybody except wankers like Peter Kyle...
"The complaint, seen by the BBC, accuses the institute's leadership of misusing public funds, overseeing a "toxic internal culture", and failing to deliver on the charity's mission."
Poor Alan Turing, exploited by the state while alive, driven to suicide by that state and decades later they're using your name and dragging it through the dirt.

#England didn't do shit, #AlanTuring did. And to thank him, the #UK chemically castrated him, driving him to #suicide. We'd all be speaking German right now if it weren't for Alan #Turing.

SlashGear · How England Cracked The German Code Machine And Helped Win World War II For The Allies - SlashGearDuring World War II, the Germans used an encryption device called the Enigma, which Polish and English mathematicians worked tirelessly to crack.
Finally. Both plots by @paulrickards are now framed! The main plot was Alan Turing in pride colours!

Toksvig, a British comedian, presents Cutting Discovery on the Bias. She explores the societal and personal effects of prejudice and bias inherent and implicit in western philosophy and science since Plato and Aristotle, with amusing examples of bias shown by AI imaging she discovered building her slide deck. #recommended https://youtu.be/AGGu8x7MzFg?si=oH7fLmKxTBgX_eS-
