Turing first spoke of "building a brain" in hushed secrecy at Bletchley Park in 1944, and was lured to Manchester, in part, by a computer called the Manchester Baby. Do his contributions warrant us seeing the city as AI's birthplace? Full story below: manchestermill.co.uk/is-manchester-…

To many engineers, Turing's role was redundant. They saw the machine as something more akin to a calculator, where Turing saw something more abstract. He was viewed as the moodler-in-chief, Professor of Pondering, haunting the halls of the university with his lofty thoughts.

Alan Turing's life story is well known. Or at least, the bit where he looks like Benedict Cumberbatch and cracks the enigma code is well known. But his early role in the field we now consider to be artificial intelligence isn't, which led us to ask: is Manchester AI's birthplace?

These days a playground fight will quickly find its way online, transformed into a proxy war onto which people can project their pre-existing beliefs. Playground fights are as old as schools. Newsworthy playground fights are very much a modern phenomena.

I’m at a corner shop in Audenshaw: The scene, I’ve just been told, of a vicious fight — one that has since been picked up by the national press, and termed a “mass brawl”. Here, a man unspools a troubling theory: that a “race war” is playing out at a local school.

Less than a week left ⏰ A month ago we said: if 500 people backed the idea, we’d launch a new local newspaper for West Yorkshire based in Leeds. Overnight, we’ve just surpassed 400 pledges 💫 That means we’re within touching distance - but nothing is guaranteed yet.

🚨 The Italian businessman suing us for libel didn’t turn up to the high court for the first hearing in his ridiculous case against us. Here’s a little update - I thought it would be useful to document what it’s like to have to defend a lawsuit like this.
