an interesting connection:

it was who proposed the ghost story writing contest that led to writing "", and he was the father of another notable:

her story is well known, but less well known is that she predicted

she rejected it

her rejection was not without teeth, because the first non- champion of AI, , spent an inordinate amount of time refuting her critique

So I may have fallen down a ‘tism rabbit hole and spent the last couple of weeks finding out how the enigma worked and how the bombe was used to break it…

It’s taken me a few days to work out the final bits however playing with the Simulator on the Virtual Colossus website and following the tutorial I’ve finally completed the final exercise…

Most people won’t appreciate this but damn this was fun…

"In November 2023, a large cache of his wartime papers—nicknamed the “Bayley papers”—was auctioned in London for almost half a million U.S. dollars. The previously unknown cache contains many sheets in Turing’s own handwriting, telling of his top-secret “Delilah” engineering project from 1943 to 1945. Delilah was Turing’s portable voice-encryption system, named after the biblical deceiver of men."

Alan Turing, the man who made machines think.

The British mathematician, whose fate was both exceptional and tragic, is considered a founding figure for the idea of artificial intelligence. His story, long overlooked, continues to be studied in the light of current developments in computer science.

💡 The genius who changed the world—and paid the ultimate price for being true to himself.

Meet Alan Turing, the father of modern computing and AI, and the hero who cracked the Nazi Enigma code during WWII, saving millions of lives. Despite his groundbreaking contributions, Turing was persecuted for being gay, a tragedy that cut his life short at 41. 💔
