#TheImitationGame (2014) is a movie about #AlanTuring's life from his contribution to creating the 1st #computer to hack the German #Enigma code during #WWII & his later conviction & mistreatment for being #gay
#BenedictCumberbatch plays Turing in the movie & I don't know how much of the movie is "true" but it is an entertaining & well regarded film.

During his childhood, Alan Turing lived for a while in St Leonard's, East Sussex.
#AlanTuring
Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.
#PrideMonth Born 23 June 1912. On 7 June 1954 #AlanTuring killed himself after having been sentenced to undergo hormonal therapy for being gay. #Turing is not only a war hero and father of the modern computer. He is also a martyr saint of #Antinous: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2025/06/we-honor-saint-alan-turing-who-was.html

Keir Starmer would have prosecuted Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing....
Reinforcement learning, inspired by animal training, is a key method in #AI. It designs intelligent agents to maximize rewards as they interact with their environment. A statistics professor explains: https://buff.ly/Ew1qFiF
an interesting connection:
it was #LordByron who proposed the ghost story writing contest that led to #MaryShelley writing "#Frankenstein", and he was the father of another #womensHistoryMonth notable: #AdaLovelace
her story is well known, but less well known is that she predicted #AI
she rejected it
her rejection was not without teeth, because the first non-#scienceFiction champion of AI, #AlanTuring, spent an inordinate amount of time refuting her critique

I look forward to reading Simon Goldhill's "Queer Cambridge".

Nobody needs OpenAI anymore, just as they were starting to charge for their hustle...
Die u.a. von #AlanTuring gebrochene dt. Chiffriermaschine #Enigma wurde nach dem 2. Weltkrieg von Großbritannien an verbündete Staaten verschenkt. Die Tatsache, dass man die Nachrichten mitlesen konnte wurde Jahrzehnte geheim gehalten.
I sought out Alan Turing in #Manchester, and found him watching a crowd as they heard his story.
not only was #lovelace the world's first #programmer, she was also the first #AI detractor
and i know that because the first non-#sciencefiction proponent of AI, #alanturing, cited her in his defense of/ argument for AI
#turing framed the foundational thoughts of the entire field of AI, as an argument against ada's thoughts
and she lived many decades before turing!
#adalovelace was an amazing woman
she deserves her own hollywood movie
