Short History of the Learning Machine, is a leaner, more recent (e.g. post-GPT) sibling of my 1st Studium Generale course I gave as Juniorprofessor at UdK entitled Prolegomena to Educatio Digitale.  

Curriculum implements the classical continental didactic method of explaining a complex concept (e.g. a 2048-dimensional latent space within which artificial Minds execute operations with symbols) by means of explaining the history of the concept: from Pythagoras, al-Khwarizmi & Leibniz to Ada Lovelace, Claude (;) Shannon, Alan Turing and beyond.
