Alan Kay on AI, Apple and Future
> Startups are not a good place to do research<p>I saw Alan Kay give a talk on Squeak in NYC when I was a little Sega Genesis kid... he made me want to be a programmer because I hoped one day to work on the stuff he does the way he does it.  That's like wanting to be an astronaut.<p>The tricky bit is that startups pretend that they're doing that kind of work to hire engineers (or get press/funding/etc).
