Yep, and in 1986 I had just interned at a NASA lab where they were investigating multiprocessors, which at the time was a wild and crazy idea. I had the epiphany that I could bit-bang a driver between a C64 and one or more 1541s and make my own little multiprocessor, so I did. I made it all the way to the International Science Fair and ended up getting a college scholarship. I've written a lot of code but I'm probably the proudest of that couple of hundred lines of 6502 assembly I wrote when I was 17.

So what did it calculate?

Mandelbrot fractals?

With your decades of experience in tech, is AI really the next frontier?

[brudgers]

AI is ideology not technology. It has lived on the frontier since the 1950’s.

[sizzle]

I mean breakthroughs like ChatGPT, etc. that were not possible back then computationally w.r.t. mass adoption and upending real industries. Are we entering a new age of ubiquitous AI computing?

> breakthroughs like ChatGPT

A glass of cold water usually helps.

30 years ago, hallucinating AI was considered a problem. I guess times might have changed.
