( good brain, disturbing lipstick and glasses )

Good idea - reference numbers accumulate, don't reset every chapter

• p21 Turing guessed every Enigma encrypted message contained the words "Heil Hitler" ... a crib, not so identified in the book
• p23 Artificial neuron - summed "data' and threshold
• p27 1970, Life magazine reports Marvin Minsky claimed AGI in three to eight years in 1978 integrated transistors cost $0.05, and a human brain has 600 trillion synapses, hence $30 trillion dollars per AGI. US GDP was $2.4 trillion in 1978. In January 2025, I spent $80 for a terabyte solid state drive, two bits per transistor, hence more than $20 per trillion transistors, $12K for 600 trillion transistors. NOT synapses, which are routed de novo in a much more random way than RAM cells ... that multiplier is likely to be enormous. A corresponding "divider" is the much faster speed of transistors, though that SSD drive SATA interface moves only 4 gigabits per second.
• p33 1997 Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov at chess

• p35 U Toronto Geoffrey Hinton Back propagation

• p35 Princeton Fei-Fei Li image recognition

• p41 AlphaGo "trained by Fan Hui beats in 2016

• p47 Legend of John Henry drill hammer for explosives

• p49 Jeopardy: IBM Watson learned to bet to tie, beat Ken Jennings

• p62 Brains: reasoning hard, sensory and motor-perception skills easy ... Moravec's paradox

• p66 AI faster than analog humams, AI portable between substrates, AI programmable and doesn't forget, Humans learn with less data

• p87 Rosalind Picard Affective Computing: systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects book Affective Computing 1997 PSU QA76.9 .H55 P53 1997
