A Brief History of Alan Turing (Imitation Game)

Показать описание

In this episode, we cover the history of Alan Turing, A 20th-century English polymath, who is considered by many to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Turing was a pivotal codebreaking figure during WWII, and due to this, much of his cryptologic was unknown to the public until 2012.

Nearly all the videos on this channel are of very good quality. This channel deserves much more attention than what it gets. Keep up the good work!

But when the world needed him most, he vanished...
(Please come back, thanks!)

The British Government's treatment of Turing, along with the general prejudice against gay folx, is one of the most shameful episodes in modern history. Horrible. Just imagine if he'd accepted Von Neumann's offer to come to the US. Might have made a difference.

This channel is gold. I hope you get more and more subscribers man.

Whether intentional or accidental, the apple oddly echoes his story—a life cut short, a symbol of knowledge, but also of something forbidden. Brilliance stifled by cruelty

Computer Scientist and teacher here. Thanks this well put together biography.

Love this video. As the Head of Computer Science at Sherborne, it was particularly interesting.

I wish I could’ve met him! Also: Mathison is an epically relevant name 😇💭

It’s sad how ridiculous homophobia contributed to the very “security risk” they we’re afraid of.

If they didn’t persecute gays, they can’t be blackmailed or influenced by fear of society’s intolerance and hate for them.

Imagine imprisoning adults for relationships with other adults, only if they’re the same sex, and not being phased by two adults of the opposite sex doing that same exact thing

Glad we’ve moved forward as a society. Though Turing can’t benefit for it, he does inspire many, including gay intellectuals such as myself.
