A Short History of AI: From Greek Myths to Large Language Models Humans have been dreaming up artificial beings for millennia. For example, in Greek myths, Hephaestus was at a forge, creating metal servants.</description></item><item><title>Attention Is All You Need — And All You Need to Know: An Infrastructure Engineer's Guide to the Paper That Built Your GPU Cluster</title><link>https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/attention-is-all-you-need-and-all-you-need-to-know/</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Feb 2026 09:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://www.rik-kisnah.ai/posts/attention-is-all-you-need-and-all-you-need-to-know/</guid><description>The 2017 Transformer paper replaced sequential processing with parallel attention and launched the GPU infrastructure boom.
