This post highlights Claude Shannon's foundational contributions to modern computing and AI, including information theory, the invention of logic gates, and early computer chess programming, which helped kick-start machine learning.
MIT Press announces 'Inventing ELIZA', a book exploring how the first chatbot shaped the future of AI, authored by multiple contributors and due for release in July 2026.
This article is the first part of the AI Engineering Panorama series. From a historical perspective, it reviews the evolution of GPUs from gaming graphics cards to AI accelerators, the bold bet of CUDA, the independent path of Google's TPU, and why NVIDIA ultimately prevailed. It also provides a detailed analysis of the underlying logic of AI infrastructure such as chips, supply chain, networking, and power.
A 2026 blog post revisits M.H. van Emden’s 1982 vision of “Computer-Aided Thought” and argues that today’s conversational LLMs fail to deliver the structured, logic-based, friction-generating interlocutor he envisioned.
The article reflects on the history of text generation, drawing parallels between modern LLMs like GPT-4 and earlier concepts from Jorge Luis Borges and Claude Shannon. It explores how Shannon's probabilistic experiments and Borges' 'Library of Babel' metaphor help clarify fundamental questions about the nature of generated text and data structure.
