Read a 29 page paper¹ earlier today, and it's only just dawning on me how long that paper was. Like I often struggle to get through more than about 10 pages of academic prose, but this one I hardly noticed.

I'm pretty proud of myself. And this was after a whole Wikipedia spelunking session. I had been wondering what I wanna do with my week of spring break, and tbh I think reading and working on projects and ideas that I don't have time for during school is gonna be my choice.

¹ The paper was "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" by Alan Turing (1950). It's where he originally introduced the idea of what came to be called The Turing Test, or as he called it, "The Imitation Game"² (https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~dprecup/courses/AI/Materials/turing1950.pdf)

² Further proof that the movie they made about him under the same name is kind of garbage, seeing as the paper was written half a decade after the war was over, and the Turing Test has very little to do with their work cracking the Enigma Machine.
