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 […]

I'm looking for an arXiv endorser for the cs.CR (Cryptography and Security) category.

I've written a technical paper presenting a triple-signal approach to credential detection in source code: regex pattern matching, Shannon entropy analysis, and BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) token efficiency scoring. The paper describes the system architecture, the confidence scoring algorithm, and why BPE token efficiency provides an independent signal from Shannon entropy for secret detection.

This is my first arXiv submission. I'm a software engineer (performance testing / DevSecOps) and built this as an open-source project.

Endorsement code: PC8BAT
Endorse here: https://arxiv.org/auth/endorse

I'm happy to share the paper draft for review before endorsing. Thank you!

Qu’est-ce qu’une minorité aujourd’hui ? Un état d’infériorité numérique ? Une identité dominée ? Une catégorie protégée par le droit ? ...
Comment éviter que les combats minoritaires soient en compétition, pour impliquer la majorité, pour résister aux attaques réactionnaires ?

Qu’est-ce qu’une minoritĂ© aujourd’hui? Un Ă©tat d’infĂ©rioritĂ© numĂ©rique ? Une identitĂ© dominĂ©e? Une catĂ©gorie protĂ©gĂ©e par le droit ? Une communautĂ© partageant certains traits culturels ?  Bruno Perreau montre que les dispositifs qui protègent le genre peuvent protĂ©ger la race, ceux qui protègent le handicap peuvent protĂ©ger l’âge, la classe, l’orientation sexuelle, et ainsi de suite.

MIT: scoperta una proteina intestinale antibatterica

La proteina è prodotta dalle cellule di Paneth e potrebbe avere un ruolo chiave nell’equilibrio della mucosa intestinale.

MIT introduced a new class combining anthropology and computer science to teach students how to design AI chatbots that help users improve themselves rather than trap them in addictive loops. The course uses linguistic anthropology methods to integrate human interaction needs into programming. https://news.mit.edu/2026/mit-class-uses-anthropology-to-improve-chatbots-0311 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIethics #MIT
New MIT class uses anthropology to improve chatbots

MIT’s new interdisciplinary class "Humane User Experience Design" blends anthropology, human-computer interaction, and UX design to teach students how to create humane, culturally informed AI chatbots that improve social engagement, ethical interaction, and real-world conversational experiences.

Having fun at looking at SCIP videos on the MIT courseware site (BTW, the fashion of July 1986!) and I was surprised to see that they have roughly half-and-half man and woman students. One has to wonder what happened to all those women? Did they find a job in the industry?
