One great thing about getting older, is that stupid and unlikely things seem to keep coming true!
For example:
"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
...and I think with AI, we've reached a similar level of confusion.

@verge today I was just wondering why #DifferenceEngine hasn’t been made into anything. Would be amazing visuals.

Charles Babbage, who is credited with inventing the first automatic digital computer, was born this day in 1791. He first had the idea of creating a calculator to compute mathematical calculations about 1813 and created a small calculator with an 8-decimal capacity. In 1823, he was given government support to create a more advanced Difference Engine with a 20-decimal capacity.
