Show HN: Decoding the Language Machine – AI video series and CC repo

Hacker News - Tue, 05/26/2026 - 8:56am

Hi HN! I released 3 parts of an educational video series (out of 6 planned), paired with a GitHub repository containing scripts and artifacts (released under Creative Commons).

- Main Site: https://skepticcto.com/ (includes related AI news articles)

- Code/Artifacts: https://github.com/SkepticCTO/decoding_the_language_machine

- YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SkepticCTO

I’m a 21-year CTO, Ph.D. in CS (U Penn, 1999 in computer vision and ML), and a PI in the NIST AI Safety Initiative Consortium. I spent a 4-month sabbatical making this because I wanted to demystify how LLMs work through a historical perspective (starting in 1948 with Claude Shannon) and scientific skepticism.

The project is old enough to be fleshed out, but young enough to be able to pivot. Is it useful? What would you like to see? I look forward to questions and feedback.

Check it out and let me know what you think. :)
