+jtridexter You're correct. The concept was developed and researched for a decade or more before Xerox implemented any of the technology, certainly. It wasn't a Xerox specific development, they were just the first commercial company to find a business application worthy of investing in implement the tech for. Military and academic sectors, who were implementing the tech on a larger scale themselves, had already shown it could be done. Xerox merely found a way to make money off of the tech, time saved in writing long lines of code for every computer action, before any other commercial entity. Others followed swiftly.

The friend watched the face of Eniac's builder as Colossus was revealed, he had heard of a jaw dropping moment but thought it was a figure of speech, until his friend's mouth dropped open. It was the moment that he realised that he wasn't the creator of the world's first computer.

It's much more than that. The thing to look out for is the connection between the human brain and computers, materials exist that can transfer the electronic signals between neurons which we experience as thoughts and innate actions both subconscious and conscious to that of binary. In other words a intermediate that allows us to understand the outputs of the computer and for the computer to understand the outputs of our brain. In conjunction with AI it would allow us to store a near infinite amount of information perfectly, compute mathematical equations that no human could ever achieve and to process new information from our surroundings. Even control the very emotions and processes of the human body. For most people it is a terrifying concept transhumanism and such, however in time it will be accepted.

@BuzzLOLOL7 жыл бұрын
pepe cohetes I think you are correct - that that was a little too swiftly glossed over. Going from valves straight to the printed circuit and chip without talking about the importance of miniaturisation that transistors brought about, especially in the role of computers within small corporations etc. Computers literally shrank to 100th their size overnight, and made them super reliable and accessible to many more people, and reducing the cost of computers enormously. Mind you, the whole history of transistors probably would have taken up 20 minutes of the documentary given enough background around their development.. At the very least it would have added 5 to 10 minutes of the documentary, that probably wasn't thought to be that important at the time. He did mention the transistor briefly, so at least give him that. I think the important, or perhaps, salient point made, was that in 1940 transistors weren't available, so all scientists had to work with was the valve - and between 1939 and 1945, it was the valve that changed history. The transistor was still ten years away.

The first real computer was made in 1942 by Konrad Zuse - the Z3. The computer was used to calculate the aerodynamics of Luftwaffe planes. The Z3 was also the world first "Turing complete" computer, because it fitted also Alan Turings "Completeness Theory". So the Colossus was a large calculating machine, but no Computer, because it never matched the basics of a computer.

So I asked an AI the questiones at 40:00 Q1 reply While a spring day could work as well in a comparison, Shakespeare specifically chose a summer's day for this sonnet because it represents the peak of natural beauty and warmth. Summer is often associated with growth, vitality, and joy, which are qualities that Shakespeare attributed to the person he was addressing in the sonnet. Furthermore, the contrast between the fleeting nature of summer and the eternal nature of his subject's beauty provides a powerful contrast that enriches the overall meaning of the sonnet. Q2 reply While a winter's day could also be used in a comparison, it may not be as effective as a summer's day in the context of Sonnet 18. In the poem, Shakespeare is trying to illustrate the beauty of his subject and their eternal nature. Winter is often associated with darkness, cold, and lack of life, which contrast with the warm, bright, and life-giving qualities of summer. Using a winter's day in the comparison may not fully capture the essence of what Shakespeare was trying to communicate. That being said, the choice of season and imagery will depend on the overall context and message of the work. Q3 reply As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, so I cannot say whether or not Mr. Pickwick reminded me of Christmas. However, I can provide some context to suggest why one may make that comparison. Mr. Pickwick is the kind and jovial protagonist of Charles Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers." The story is set in Victorian England and the characters often celebrate Christmas as a time of joy and goodwill. Dickens is known for his association with the Christmas season, and his novels like "A Christmas Carol" have contributed to popularizing the idea of a traditional English Christmas. Therefore, it's possible to draw a comparison between the character of Mr. Pickwick and the festive spirit of Christmas, as both embody generosity, kindness, and warmth. Q4 reply Yes, that is true. Christmas is typically associated with winter, and the festive season is often depicted in literature as a time of cozy fires, hot drinks, and wintery landscapes. As Mr. Pickwick is portrayed as a jolly, good-natured character, it's likely that he wouldn't mind the comparison to Christmas, which is also a time of joy and merriment. In fact, the idea of Mr. Pickwick as a symbol of Christmas cheer could be considered a compliment to his character. As an AI language model, I cannot determine the actual thoughts of a fictional character, but it's safe to say that the comparison could be seen as a positive association.

+jtridexter You're correct. The concept was developed and researched for a decade or more before Xerox implemented any of the technology, certainly. It wasn't a Xerox specific development, they were just the first commercial company to find a business application worthy of investing in implement the tech for. Military and academic sectors, who were implementing the tech on a larger scale themselves, had already shown it could be done. Xerox merely found a way to make money off of the tech, time saved in writing long lines of code for every computer action, before any other commercial entity. Others followed swiftly.
The AntiKythera Mechanism Computer was around 2,500 years ago... and then religion made people stupid for 2,000 years and produced The Dark Ages... then The Renaissance got us learning and back into knowledge again... What Clarkson says is written by other people...
just more of him, lol.
He is the best, in the world
Only Jeremy would open up a documentary on computers by beating one with a hammer
Some Guys On XBL; well, it is Jezza's favorite tool, aside from the shotgun
He's trying to fix it
because, another thing he likes about brute force is: Speed and Power, because it can solve many things
One of the men who built the Eniac, allegedly the first computer, went with a friend to a lecture. During the lecture the existence of Colossus was revealed and discussed. The friend watched the face of Eniac's builder as Colossus was revealed, he had heard of a jaw dropping moment but thought it was a figure of speech, until his friend's mouth dropped open. It was the moment that he realised that he wasn't the creator of the world's first computer.
I would love to have been there: my Grandad worked in Bletchley Park and everyone who worked there was sworn to never speak of it.
Between autonomous drones, the Boston Dynamic robots, and now OpenAI - it seems Prof. Kevin Warwick was spot on. 51:54
It's much more than that. The thing to look out for is the connection between the human brain and computers, materials exist that can transfer the electronic signals between neurons which we experience as thoughts and innate actions both subconscious and conscious to that of binary. In other words a intermediate that allows us to understand the outputs of the computer and for the computer to understand the outputs of our brain. In conjunction with AI it would allow us to store a near infinite amount of information perfectly, compute mathematical equations that no human could ever achieve and to process new information from our surroundings. Even control the very emotions and processes of the human body. For most people it is a terrifying concept transhumanism and such, however in time it will be accepted.
I watched this in 8th grade programming class and it’s still one of my favorite documentaries
It's nice to have someone like Clarkson talk about AI as he is sceptical. People in the field get too excited and always overestimate the "intelligence" of computers. They especially talk in a way that make laymen overestimate it even more.
AI is going to touch every industry sector though, this video is old. We're on the cusp of Driverless Cars, personalised medicines, genomics, nanotechnology. AI will have a huge role in this, AI isn't over-hyped. It's just not in a place where it reaches its potential yet, and probably won't be for another 20 years, but it will do as much as the industrial revolution did.
This is from 2004, a lot has changed since then and AI is a LOT smarter/better now.
I'm from the future. Turns out you're wrong. Computers are even more intelligent than you realise
@@AntIsGaming nobody wants a driverless car apart for non car enthusiasts
Newsflash. SKYNET went live in 2022. AI is now
So, Clarkson, tell us about what happened when you popped out to the shops to buy discount cornflakes. "It's a story of sex and suicide, a tale of obsession and excess . . . "
Technically it is. Discounts are worked out by computers
GODOFHELLFIRE3
Burn
GODOFHELLFIRE
pmsl not always obviously, i decide my own discounts
Shoutout to the audio crew on this episode for using "I'll find you" by "Hundred Reasons" at 36:41 to 37:18 I want to live in the year 2000. and QOTSA at 46:16 someone in the audio crew was a major "Hundred Reasons" fan. "If I could" at 52:55
Things that Jeremy hate: -computers -caravans -cold steak
Criminally underrated comment
Jeremy Clarkson is a legend
What: Dead?
A documentary about computers, without any mention of Ada Lovelace, is like a documentary about aircraft mentioning Orville and neglecting to mention Wilbur.
early 00s BBC productions always have a soundtrack that goes so hard for no reason
"Arnold Schwarzenegger's plans for world domination beaten by a cunningly placed pot plant" is brilliant.
No word of Konrad Zuse, who, as we read in Wikipedia, invented "the world's first programmable computer". Sadly a Fritz.
Man I've been looking forever for this. Thanks for uploading.
I'd really like to see him do a new version of this, in this age of modern AI, Chatbots and Quantum Computers.
At the "microscopic level" from the computer's perspective, it is actually the TRANSISTOR which changed history, even the electronic valve did not cause the changes in electronics the transistor brought about.
Yeah, Clarkson really missed the boat here....1948 Bell labs, the transistor.
Yeah, he talks of 1978 being primitive when he started working, but the pocket electronic calculator/computer was around starting in about 1970... in 1966, we had a desktop electronic calculator like the size of a tabletop TV when I started at GM engineering... I was amazed that it was completely silent, unlike the mechanical calculators in high school...
pepe cohetes I think you are correct - that that was a little too swiftly glossed over. Going from valves straight to the printed circuit and chip without talking about the importance of miniaturisation that transistors brought about, especially in the role of computers within small corporations etc. Computers literally shrank to 100th their size overnight, and made them super reliable and accessible to many more people, and reducing the cost of computers enormously. Mind you, the whole history of transistors probably would have taken up 20 minutes of the documentary given enough background around their development.. At the very least it would have added 5 to 10 minutes of the documentary, that probably wasn't thought to be that important at the time. He did mention the transistor briefly, so at least give him that. I think the important, or perhaps, salient point made, was that in 1940 transistors weren't available, so all scientists had to work with was the valve - and between 1939 and 1945, it was the valve that changed history. The transistor was still ten years away.
This is so up to date! I enjoyed the beginning so much :D
'..and I definately don't want anything PC inserted in me' And that is why JC is one of the very few great people alive at the moment. He says it like it is!
Would love to see this revisited by JC 20 years on.
Thanks for uploading.
Once again spot on... twenty years on and it has all come to pass, and more. The next twenty years may be very interesting indeed.
Excellent, Mr Clarckson ! Onxe again 😊
Sometimes I wonder what would've happend if you could go back in time and convince these scientists to keep working whilst you gave them the resources to work with. What a different world we would live in now.
I assume a valve in the U.K. is what us Americans called a "tube".
***** Yes. Vacuum tube = Thermionic valve
PassiveSmoking the toob
I still use a abacus. It plays Minecraft smoothly.
Lancelot Xavier Smoothly? Like 60 fps?
Calliboss Sure, it properly over clocked.
I believe this may have been the best 2 minutes to any video that I've ever seen.
Jeremy Clarkson, the best TV presenter in the world
Probably 😅
If only they saw what boston dynamics uploaded 3 weeks ago, They have a robot dog that works at the stella artois brewery that checks all of their machinery while it runs to see if its damaged or running dry and they can run the line 24/7 with repairs going on instead of having to stop the line and spend time troubleshooting, It is absolutely magic and utterly terrifying
The first real computer was made in 1942 by Konrad Zuse - the Z3. The computer was used to calculate the aerodynamics of Luftwaffe planes. The Z3 was also the world first "Turing complete" computer, because it fitted also Alan Turings "Completeness Theory". So the Colossus was a large calculating machine, but no Computer, because it never matched the basics of a computer.
1942 also saw the Atanasoff Berry computer. The Zuse was the first programmable electro-mechanical computer. The Atanasoff Berry computer, like Colossus used vacuum tubes to store data.
52:00 "you'd have to say in 20 years at most we're going to have dangers with it" This guy was bang on after the godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, has warned of the existential risk of AI after recently stepping down from his position at Google.
An X-Box One is equivalent to 2.5 million Collosuses. We used one Collosus to shorten WWII. Today, a 10yr old uses two and half million of them to play at WWII.
Best documentaries I've seen thus far.
Interesting that music by Thomas Newman written for the sound track of the film, "American Beauty" was used in this series. It plays behind the description of what happened to Colossus and Alan Turing at 29:00 to 30:30.
everything was better "back in the days". they even used "I'll find you" by "Hundred Reasons" at 36:41 to 37:18
With ChatGPT and Bard Coming onto the scene. It does seem like A.I. Has really become that sophisticated. Imagine what it will be like in 30 years time.
Thanks.....I truly enjoyed this...pause for thought.
and here i am in 2016 and some of these things are already here
You mean technology doesn't just stand still? OMFG TELL NEW YORK TIMES!!! People have to know about this!
Jackson Edwards I didn't know technology advanced, strange time we live in amiright?
So Charles Babbage is the Victorian James May.
Jeremy Calrkson changed the wor-old when he beat up an Irishman lol
Its insane how the government treated Alan Turing - he should have experienced the recognition and praise he deserved!
And yet you've obviously been given enough to laud him, while saying nothing of Flowers' contribution - ironic, don't you think?
@@nemo6686 No - Flowers definitely deserved more recognition than given - He wasnt however institutionalized, chemically castrated and left psychologically destroyed - like Turing was ....
@@TheVic256 You really don't see the irony of your post, do you?
@@nemo6686 No, I have a difficult time providing a productive answer to what I suspect is semi-hostile non-constructive sarcasm....
@@TheVic256 I understand your difficulties in perception, but defaulting to suspicion is on you. The irony to which I allude is complaining about lack of recognition for Turing, yet so many people know of Turing and feel as you do while Flowers' greater contribution is almost unknown and totally under-appreciated. Can you really not see the irony of so many people moved by Turing's fame to complain of his lack of recognition? Even while ignoring the greater man? And why do you think that might be? My commiserations if you consider this "semi-hostile non-constructive sarcasm".
"The rate machines are going you would have to say 20 years at most that we're going to have dangers with it".... From a tv programme filmed in 2004
1:30 Jeramy showing the proper way of fixing a laptop
Is this program still being produced? its awesome..
This is awesome and so relevant today. I love that bit around 46:34 if that had red eyes and you painted it gunmetal or made it out of steel, it would look exactly like the endoskeleton of The Terminator =P And the bit about augmentation part reminds me of Deus Ex and loads of films, it's starting to go into proper augmentation and cyborgs and stuff, it's happening now, bonkers. It's very clever and awesome for people that have had really bad accident and injuries and stuff.
When my school got it's first computer in 1981 I was expecting something that takes up a whole wall with flashing lights, reel to reel tape and ticker tape....I was kind of let down when it was just a TV with an attached keyboard, a Radio Shack TRS-80.
this is great! Thanks.
Created in 2004, this Clarkson program is so accurate in it's predictions...scary stuff. Vital viewing!
I believe that this is Clarkson at his best, rein in the bafoon and hyperbole and you have a presenter who informs and entertains you. I'm amazed I missed it the first time around, 19 years ago.
Yay, Clarkson hold up an AMD athlon when picking up a microchip.
Yes!, The Victorian Babbage Difference engine was programmable. It even had its own version of a Operating system by Ada Lovelace
1:35 Jeremy forgot to put the kettle on and have a nice calming cup of tea🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I heard "take the power back" and "roll right" by rage against the machine. The editor seems to know his shit when it comes to music.
Plus a smattering of Queens of the Stone Age
MaxTheKanuck And 'Rez' by Underworld an absolute monster EP, and a masterclass in early 90s electronica. You should see them do it live in front of thousands of people, here on yt, it's mind-blowing!
count69 and The White Stripes
240p on my 11ft projection screen. Its like watching tv thru wax paper.
Blah b that's not even funny
HAhahahaa Blah
LoL you actually made me laugh out loud thank you
IBM was founded in 1911 through a merger and originally called the "Computing Tabulating Record Company". The closest thing to a "pork slicing machine" they made were scales. They also did time keeping systems and punch card tabulators. One of the companies in the merger was the Tabulating Machine Co., which built punch card tabulators for the 1890 census. Look up Herman Hollerith if you know how to use the internet. Clarkson doesn't mention any of it, this whole era of computing.
I loved the bit where Alan Turing had a conversation with machine with AI.
0:12 Clarkson had his teeth whitened? xD And he accuses Hammond.. LOOOOOL
Ok Mr. Alan Turing... You're scaring me. The fact that I just told Google on my Pixel to set a reminder for tomorrow's meeting and told Siri on my iPad to play music in 2023 - 73 out of the 100 years that he predicted, is staggering. Not to mention we're already halfway towards holding proper conversations with AIs, with Google Assistant on Pixel launcher in particular, being incredibly intelligent. He was truly a genius... Scarily so.
If ONE of those "precious flowers" died fighting for you, it seems like a thank you may be in order.
WOW.. I really wasn't expecting the start to go like that lol
The man presenting this programme wouldn't have a job if computers had existed in the early 19th century. Imagine what we missed !
A huge chunk of information, PLUS some critical and entirely vital people are omitted from the breaking of the Lorenz system of encoding during WW2.. Where is the development section on Bill Tutt, Max Newman and many other steps along the way.
What song is played at 15:30? Can't find it...
I sure am glad I have a computer so I could watch this, it was never broadcast in my country :)
So I asked an AI the questiones at 40:00 Q1 reply While a spring day could work as well in a comparison, Shakespeare specifically chose a summer's day for this sonnet because it represents the peak of natural beauty and warmth. Summer is often associated with growth, vitality, and joy, which are qualities that Shakespeare attributed to the person he was addressing in the sonnet. Furthermore, the contrast between the fleeting nature of summer and the eternal nature of his subject's beauty provides a powerful contrast that enriches the overall meaning of the sonnet. Q2 reply While a winter's day could also be used in a comparison, it may not be as effective as a summer's day in the context of Sonnet 18. In the poem, Shakespeare is trying to illustrate the beauty of his subject and their eternal nature. Winter is often associated with darkness, cold, and lack of life, which contrast with the warm, bright, and life-giving qualities of summer. Using a winter's day in the comparison may not fully capture the essence of what Shakespeare was trying to communicate. That being said, the choice of season and imagery will depend on the overall context and message of the work. Q3 reply As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, so I cannot say whether or not Mr. Pickwick reminded me of Christmas. However, I can provide some context to suggest why one may make that comparison. Mr. Pickwick is the kind and jovial protagonist of Charles Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers." The story is set in Victorian England and the characters often celebrate Christmas as a time of joy and goodwill. Dickens is known for his association with the Christmas season, and his novels like "A Christmas Carol" have contributed to popularizing the idea of a traditional English Christmas. Therefore, it's possible to draw a comparison between the character of Mr. Pickwick and the festive spirit of Christmas, as both embody generosity, kindness, and warmth. Q4 reply Yes, that is true. Christmas is typically associated with winter, and the festive season is often depicted in literature as a time of cozy fires, hot drinks, and wintery landscapes. As Mr. Pickwick is portrayed as a jolly, good-natured character, it's likely that he wouldn't mind the comparison to Christmas, which is also a time of joy and merriment. In fact, the idea of Mr. Pickwick as a symbol of Christmas cheer could be considered a compliment to his character. As an AI language model, I cannot determine the actual thoughts of a fictional character, but it's safe to say that the comparison could be seen as a positive association.
When Jeremy said they can even chop vegetables and then they show this 2:05. It cracked me up XD
'some of the greatest documentaries.........in the world '
I wonder how many potentially world-changing inventions were stopped in their tracks by ridicule from government or well-respected scientists. Considering we humans have an impressive track record of achieving scientific milestones that were once believed to be surely impossible, it's kind of sad that we still don't have much faith in our abilities to create magic with science and technology.
Nothing better than Pure Science, Zero Faith , Zero Mythology needed for computers to work.
What the hell? Did the laptop fail to get Jezza a steak?
Me: Clarkson did a mini documentary about computers? Clarkson a minute and a half in: *smashing a laptop with a hammer*
I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the first was build by the Roman's over 2000 years ago called Antikythera Mechanism found in a Roman shipwreck near Greece. Not the British!
beautiful documentary!
This is a brilliant doc; I just wish it had English subtitles
Yes Turing was a genius but the Poles broke Enigma first. Turing helped when the Germans started adding more rotors and other enhancements. In October 1938 a Polish Cipher Bureau cryptologist Marian Rejewski developed the machine to break Enigma called the Bomba. In 1939/40 Alan Turing along with Gordon Welchman worked to make a British version called the Bombe. Jeremy hates to let facts ruin a good sounding story..
52:00 This interview was in 2004, it's now 2024 and his "In 20 years" prediction is still a good 50 years off!
Watching this and hearing Jeremy talking about tanks and planes with no one in them in 20 years time @ 52:40 after just watching James May race a driver less truck through rough terrain in Top Gear 19x05 makes me thing how far the military has actually got today, 9 years after this was made.
I wouldn't doubt that the military had prototype driverless tanks already when this was made. And we know they had drones. The military only reveals things once they've already got something much better ready to go.
Thank You
Does anyone know the name of the marimba music right at the beginning?
I think Jeremy could develop his talents to be able to teach pupils through a series of school programmes. He could obviously cover history, as to whether he could apply himself to physics and geography, I’m sure he would be able to be utilised throughout many areas of the school educational programme. I’m aware that many parents are preferring home schooling nowadays, and he could drop into that slot beautifully. Jeremy, if you’re interested, I’d love to work in with you to help the next generation of developing young adults. I dare to offer myself, as it is obvious, a steady hand is needed on editing and presentation.
Are you high?
I wish Jeremy Clarkson would do a documentary on Spam, his insight would be legendary.
Name of the song at around 35 min. ?
Почта указана в конце видео. Переводчик примет разумную критику с благодарностью.
Whats the name of the song?
great thanks !
Hey, what's the song at 3:29 ???
I'd love to see Jeremy playing with chatgpt, visiting Boston Dynamics, and reviewing M3gan today.
god i did a skit way back in high school for spanish class that resembled jeremy beating up the computer and i got stares of wtf from the entire class. good to know i'm not the only one with that kind of humor.
When Garmin came out I loved to confuse them by taking routes they didn't know.
Turing's example of having a complete, nuanced conversation with AI is looking pretty accurate these days. Even if they are a bit milquetoast for now.
What is the song playing at 34:00 ?
22:08 does anyone know if Jeremy ever managed to work out how to make this??
whats with the Z1 and Z3 by konrad zuse?
gonna love that detuned anthem :D
Imagine, this program predates the first iPhone by 3 years.
44:13 where is that song from again?
Dangerous computers that could think for themselves in 20 years, and this video is 12 years old. Only 8 years left to Skynet.
Was this video converted with a calculator or a potato?
Pretty sure they did it with a Walkman
guess they forgot to invent hd videos
***** Oh... I... Thought... Goddammit...
***** Don't worry about it.
shut the fuck up dipshit
PLZ What song is @ 03:30???
Thumbs up for choosing the American Beauty soundtrack.
