A developer argues that the rise of AI coding tools, like language models that write functions and debug logic, mirrors the impact of chess engines on human play. Just as chess players adapted by trai…
A developer building a word game based on deduction discovered that generating puzzles solvable by pure logic was unexpectedly difficult, with the generator producing fewer than a hundred deducible bo…
The field of artificial intelligence marks its 70th anniversary since being formally established at the 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project. AI has evolved from early neural network concepts by McC…
India Today published an essay arguing that large language models like ChatGPT and Claude lack human intelligence and meaning-making, tracing the issue to Claude Shannon's 1948 communication model. Th…
Claude Shannon's 1950 paper 'Prediction and Entropy of Printed English' analyzes the statistical structure of English text, introducing concepts of entropy and redundancy in language. The work laid th…
FablePool launched a crowdfunding platform where users pool money behind a single AI prompt, and an autonomous agent builds the requested project in public. Funding starts at $0.25 per backer, with pr…
In 1950, Claude Shannon used his wife as a human language model to test the limits of text compression, demonstrating that prediction and compression are mathematically equivalent. The experiment, now…
A 21-year CTO and Ph.D. in computer science released three of six planned episodes in an educational AI video series, paired with a Creative Commons-licensed GitHub repository of scripts and artifacts…
The Jensen–Shannon divergence, a method for measuring similarity between two probability distributions, has been formally defined in probability theory and statistics. Named after Johan Jensen and Cla…
