TC Currie's article discusses the Enigma machine, a complex encryption device used by the Nazis during World War II. The machine was considered unbreakable due to its vast number of possible combinations, but developers applied modern artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to crack the code. Using 2,000 DigitalOcean servers and AI processes, engineers at Enigma Pattern broke the code in just 13 minutes, a feat that would have taken Alan Turing years to accomplish. The project aimed to understand how modern technology like AI could change things, and if they could break the code in a fraction of the time. By applying machine learning algorithms and using sheer computing power, the team was able to recognize patterns and separate the wheat from the chaff, ultimately breaking the Enigma code. The article also explores how companies can harness the power of big data with AI, as seen in the example of a coffee chain optimizing store locations based on customer data.
