The discussion revolves around the AI conference held at Bletchley Park, including its historical significance, the contributions of Alan Turing, and the current relevance of the venue in the context of artificial intelligence. Participants reference various aspects of the conference and the museums located at Bletchley Park.
Participants generally agree on the historical significance of Bletchley Park and its connection to Turing, but there is no consensus on specific insights from the AI conference itself, as the discussion primarily focuses on the venue and its history rather than the conference outcomes.
Some posts contain references to external articles and discussions about the Turing Test, but the details of these discussions are not fully explored within the thread.
Damnit. Apologies. Elon Musk is giving a talk.Borg said:2022?
Corrected hopefully. I'm on the move..Borg said:2022?

I went about 5 years ago. Worth a visit if you are ever in the UK. They have made it into a museum and visitors centre.WWGD said:Wasn't that the lab where Turing worked?
glappkaeft said:Bletchley Park is now two museums (both excellent and with very knowledgeable staff). The one called Bletchley Park where the AI event is (with Turing's office and many many other things on display) is focused on the WW2 code breaking.
The other one is The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) that is focused on the computers/code breaking machines (the Bombe and Colossus) used at Bletchley as well as later computer history up to now. This includes having the systems up and running for at least part of the day including the Harwell Dekatron computer which must be the most visually awesome computer in the world.
