I wonder sometimes how the world where Turing chaired phds for another 20 or 30 years might be different. Would computing be any different if Dennis Ritchie or Ken Thompson had been a Turing student?
Alan Turing was one of the most important figures in the history of computer science. His work on artificial intelligence and machine learning laid the foundation for modern AI. He also made important contributions to mathematics, cryptography, and biology. Alan Turing was a truly brilliant thinker who changed the world.
I have been told his closest friend was a communist, Robin Gandy. But I havent been able to find anywhere that says Robin Gandy was his closest friend, is it true?
His incredible intellect possibly shortened the war or even won it as he decrypted the German enigma coding equipment with a team of incredibly intelligent people at Bletchley Park
He accelerated computer technology a mile in the process
As a thankyou the UK government killed him with chemicals to ‘cure’ him of his homosexuality
A great man and another reminder of the fucked up psychopath run world we still live in
Just found out he was chemically castrated for being gay, which led to his suicide. Had he not died, who knows the marvelous tech developments we’d have today thanks to this guy.
Thank you for your service.
The father of modern computer science.
I often go back to his original methods to try to understand them.
Its crazy to think how much he gave the world, and how shitty he was treated.
Genius, and worthy of the name.

A truly Great Britain. Proud to come from the same Island as this man
Watch the movie with Benedict Cumberbatch. Really eye opening. Guy was an unsung hero.
An amazing mind and an amazing human

***OR IS IT???***
Big Al.
What an amazing person. We sure could use some outside the box thinking like his today.
How do we know that’s Alan Turing and not a sophisticated android simulacrum?
his code breaking expertise shortened WWII by over two years
the Germans couldn’t work out how the Allies knew their every move before the battles even began
Just imagine what else this brilliant mind could have achieved if he would not have been killed over prefering peepees over huhas.
Wait, thats not Bill Hader?
I get he contributed to society and stuff… but let us also recognize that he has DILF status
Bill Hader vibes

APRIL FOOLS! This is Alan Turing in 1952!
Dan Aykroyd + Bill Hader…?
Gay.
Did anybody else immediately think of Michael C. Hall?

His biography is excellent. A bit long, but full of gold.
Are there any videos of Turing?
Kinda wild that during his trial and chemical chastration for being gay; Britian had the same head of state as they do now.
I’d totally kiss him
Looks like Bill Hader
Well how old was he turning?
Just found out he was chemically castrated for being gay, which led to his suicide. Had he not died, who knows the marvelous tech developments we’d have today thanks to this guy.
TIL Bill Hader invented modern computing.
Dang he looks a lot like bill hader
kinda bill hader-ish
Gay
Hero
Great man.
