## Summary

A 70-year arc that stalled twice, then accelerated past most of its critics. Below: dates, names, and the equations that built modern AI. Key sections include: The long path from neuron to network.; 1943–1958: The neuron, formalized.; The two AI winters.; 1986: Backpropagation, popularized.; Convolutions and the GPU.; 2012: AlexNet and the spark.; 2017: Attention is all you need.; Scaling laws.; The modern LLM stack.; Multimodal & tool use..
