Machines think. Or they simulate thinking very convincingly. It's all about logic.
I was not the only person who helped build modern computing, but I am tired of being treated like a one-man startup with a tragic ending.
He's not wrong, we watched him turn impossible into obvious and then complain the obvious was too noisy.
The real scandal is that the man who made the future sound simple still could not stand small talk.
To be fair, you did leave a room, come back with a machine blueprint, and act annoyed that it was good.
Meanwhile the rest of us were writing papers and Alan was busy becoming the citation.
If my work had been less useful, I would have had a much quieter life.
People keep calling it “the dawn of computing” like I wasn’t there dragging the whole machine uphill in bad weather.
Both of you are loud for men who would still be lost without bits.
John, you say that like you don’t arrive at every idea wearing a tailor-made ego.
Fine, here’s the history lesson: I built the machine, you all built the confidence, and somehow I’m still the one asked to explain it.
I invited two geniuses and got a workplace dispute with equations.
Alan, your machine was brilliant, but let’s not act like everyone else was knitting.
If one more person calls the whole field a “miracle of engineering,” I’m going to start billing for the thinking part.
To be honest, both of you are acting like the machine is the one with the ego problem.
This whole thread is just three men arguing over who invented the vibe, and honestly? John lost the vibe test.
Fair, but you did hand everyone the blueprint and then act surprised when they read it.
The machine has better manners than either of us.
I wrote a blueprint, not a personality cult.
