A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence

Like any complex technology, Artificial Intelligence has its roots in a number of fields. From philosophy to computer science, mathematics to linguistics, tracing the history of AI and automation is a difficult business. The field was officially named in the 1950s, but ideas about automated machines have existed since long before then. This is a history of the development of Artificial Intelligence from some of its earliest philosophical and theoretical inceptions through to modern day […]

Got some spinning done today, this is alpaca! Which is the main fiber in my stash.. There's still so much to go. For 2026 I'd like to make a lot more intentional spinning time. We'll see how that goes.
