Wonderful talk! Tom Mullaney is versed in so many separate aspects ( multiple languages, typography, philisophy, history, and knowledge of cultures), it's a delight to watch/listen.

Interesting parallel with how Large Language Models and their next-character predictions work. I wonder if this is where the technology might head one day.

Great talk I do recall some of those early machines for typing in chinese. It is a great way to faster enter text that english and other phonetic languages will never match except if they try making similar way of entering text into the computers like chinese characters.
