I was very excited to find a curriculum for reimagining the personal computer this morning! Weeks 3 & 4 seem particularly relevant for this community but I'm excited to check out rest of it when I have time http://chrisnovello.com/teaching/risd/computer-utopias/

this looks great! Side note / Slight rant, I don’t understand why so many people think AI / Machine Learning is this new computing future. As someone who’s familiar with these technologies and use them regularly, it’s unclear how they help with humanism (usually tends towards the opposite). MIT even committed $1bn to AI / ML as the new computing future and singled those out. Rant over

I see a plethora of great resource-links that most of us would benefit from reading! (It's because Alan Kay told @stevekrouse (and thus us?) read a mountain 😉) It will take forever, but I'll work my way through over time (even if I just skim some of them)

Yep, Week 4 had some nice links. Oh! Week 10 is tasty too.

@srini in fairness to ML as an interface, one does interact with a ML system a bit differently than a conventional programming system. Certainly has little to do with humanism. If anything, input data and pray is even more obscure than attempting to codify rules.

There where some good links there. Like Paul fords: what is code. Something which I recommend everyone interesting in computation to read. I do thing gaming or the abstract concepts behind games will play an important role in our computer future as they lean twoards our human universals. But the examples are poorly choosen, instead I recommend books like: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/189989.Finite_and_Infinite_Games
