Turns out they were like our first literary genre, distinctly American genre. They date back to the 1680s. Mary Rowlandson, a woman who was kidnapped with two of her children by Narragansset Indians in New England, had the first best seller in America.
alike, and they were about 50-50, swearing is always considered to be much more offensive when women do it than when men do it, which is really bizarre. And it seems to date back to about the late 1600s. There's a chap called Richard Allestree, who was the provost of Eton and was the king's chaplain or something.
Square the numbers before adding them up. This problem seems to date back to the Greeks, so it is a natural next step. I need a little notation here.
And so the terms, fuzzy and techie, is anyone in the room familiar with these terms? No? So they date back to the 1960s, 1970s from Stanford, where there was this lighthearted association where people would ask a question-- and they still do-- are you more of a Fuzzy are you more of a techie?
He found hundreds of human artifacts in his country of Portugal. He found them in layers of rock that date back to the early Miocene Period, which means they would be about 20 million years old according to today's understanding.
and five was the union of them both so the most spiritual number. And this mysticism that we really can sort of date back to Pythagoras as influential as his sort of mathematical legacy. So and also sort of Gematria which came afterwards, the Masons all kind of has this sort of Pythagorean basis. In fact the Masons is essentially modeled on the Pythagorean Brotherhood which was this sort of cult like group where Pythagoras lived.
I started looking at the history of footwear. And what I unearthed very quickly was that the red high heel and all of its implications that accompany it date back at least 70 years to the days of "Mad Men." The following is a small sampling of the vintage as I unearthed.
Well, if we look in the Oxford English Dictionary, we might think of as the ultimate authority-- I know I'm slightly biased, but it's one place people would turn-- then we can see that the earliest uses of the word "fulsome," which date back to the 14th century, mean-full, abundant, or plentiful.
That's how precise these movements are. In fact, we can actually use this, the expansion in the spine associated with the neural control of breath-- we can actually use that to date back in the fossil history when humans, or modern precursors to humans, started to be able to speak at all.
So search is a great example of core technology being democratized through both better systems and better interfaces. So the core algorithms-- before PageRank, things like tf-idf, and inverted indices, and distributed query processing date back as early 1950s. So tf-idf indices are from the, literally, 1950s, from IBM.
So I'm going to present the case today that that narrative is both misguided and counterproductive-- that a more appropriate way to frame this, which is really better supported by actual historical and current events, is that AI is simply a natural extension of long-standing efforts to automate tasks that date back at least to the start of the Industrial Revolution.
