Machine Language

Looking at the emergence of generative AI, Language Machines presents a new theory of meaning in language and computation, arguing that humanistic scholarship misconstrues how large language models (LLMs) function. Seeing LLMs as a convergence of computation and language, Leif Weatherby contends that AI does not simulate cognition, as widely believed, but rather creates culture.

Uncover the power of the number 8: eight individuals, eight groundbreaking research papers, and eight minds that forever altered the course of human history. If this eight-page paper had never been written, ChatGPT would not exist. It was only eight pages long. It had no flashy demos. And yet, it became the foundation of modern artificial intelligence. This short book tells the story behind that paper, not as a technical manual, but as a human and intellectual breakthrough that changed how machines understand language forever. One simple idea gave birth to the Transformer architecture, the ...

Chatbots such as the infamous ChatGPT, robotic warehouses, computerized call centres and patient diagnosis. These are just a few of the areas where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning are being used to boost revenues, cut costs, save lives and improve customer experiences. As a result, organizations that understand these tools and know how to use them are benefiting at the expense of their rivals. This book cuts through the hype and technical jargon that one often finds when talking about AI and Machine Learning. It delivers a short, concise and non-technical guide for ...

Every AI you have ever used began as nonsense. Before it could answer a question, pass a medical exam, or fold a protein, it was a machine that had never seen a word, guessing at random and wrong almost every time. This book is the story of how that nonsense gets trained into something that reads, reasons, and now and then fools the people who built it. It is machine learning with the machinery left out and the meaning left in. You have read the headlines. A model "thinks." A model "understands." A model is coming for your job by Tuesday. And somewhere between the press releases and the ...
