Before Computers Were Machines, They Were Women. Here Are Six Places Where Human Computers Built Modern Science
From AT&T to NASA, women working as computers performed the calculations that made modern science possible. In the early 1900s, computing joined teaching and nursing as one of the few careers open to college-educated women, and it opened doors that few other professions could

@gutenberg_org Und zukünftig werden wieder Humanoide als Computer Arbeiten , Menschenähnliche KI Roboter.

@gutenberg_org Yet again we have men achieving on the backs of women who did all the fundamental tasks but rarely received the recognition.

Confirming my long-held belief that women are the brains in this whole operation and discrimination against them makes us all poorer.

@joergba
Sehr unwahrscheinlich. LLMs können sich nicht selber bauen. Wenn wir Computing an LLMs auslagern, dann stagniert bestenfalls die Entwicklung. Ich seh dann aber eher alles so lange laufen, bis was kaputt ist und kein LLM es reparieren kann, weil die Menschen den Skill nicht mehr haben. Dann haben wir einfach gar keine Computer mehr, bis jemand das wieder "Erfindet".Bevor es dazu kommt, platzt die Marketingblase, "KI" wird dann so alltäglich werden wie Blockchain oder NFT-Bildchen und die Investoren jagen den nächsten Hype hinterher auf der Jagt nach 15+% Return on Investment.

@svavar @gutenberg_org Well yes. Like missing out on a female Gauss, and on a female Einstein

> At one meeting of the faculty senate, frustrated again in his attempts to get Noether a job, he [David Hilbert] famously remarked, “I do not see that the sex of a candidate is an argument against her admission as Privatdozent. After all, we are a university, not a bathing establishment.”

How did the Babbage computer work? Was that code I guess?

Oh but remember, as any tech/maga bro will be happy to tell you, "women aren't good at math"...
Mmmmmhmmm...keep talking, *bro*, keep diggin that hole...
