Anyone who actually believes this has a poor understanding of computers, humans, or both.
- garmaine 6y agoI think you’ve misunderstood what “constructive" means in this context.
- jacobush 6y agoYeah, but it also brings me to that you don't have to agree with Perlis's quote. But IMHO we know too little at this point in time to say it's an unreasonable idea. We know far more about programs than about biology, but the gap between software and neuroscience is huge and we probably don't know as much about software as we think we do, either.
