MIT professor's hack to recruit students
Ah, so Jerry Lettvin died.I took a couple of courses from him as an undergrad.  He was quite a character.  Here's a Jerry quote for you: "The brain is not a computer.  The brain is a gland."  I don't even know if he believed that, but he loved to stir controversy -- and announcing this at the MIT AI Lab c. 1982 certainly accomplished that!I would say "RIP", but he probably already has his lab set up and is hard at work, wherever he is :-)
