If Alan Turing lived today what color would his programmer socks be?

I think rainbow with tiny computers on it. Maybe if (((they))) didn't poison him, computing would be better in the current year.

Turing didn't contribute shit. Change my mind.

No, that's not my business. If you want to be ignorant, that's your problem.

Turing did make important contributions, that is undeniable.

That said, they are massively overrated, which is for various reasons, including

>he was gay

>he was prosecuted by the government for this, making him look like a martyr

>he helped the allies win the war

Other figures, such as Church or Von Neumann, were far more important.

He proposed turings machine. Which is the way computer systems running a linear program appear to make decisions and then act on the consequences of those decisions.

People tend to remember him more for the turing test which is simplified childish bullshit. Normies like childish bullshit.

Electromechanical computers (that the Germans invented) went nowhere.

Electronic computers, that the Brits invented are the basis of what we use today.

I was only pointing out how the pollack can't break his own conditioning.

Hybrid electronic analog computers will be what we use tomorrow, their digital component being solely for mechanical arrangement of the plugs. I can't wait for wasteful turing machine and dopey discrete mathematics to get the fuck out of the way of real computing.
