Alan Kay on AI, Apple and Future
> Startups are not a good place to do researchI 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.The tricky bit is that startups pretend that they're doing that kind of work to hire engineers (or get press/funding/etc).
