Interestingly, only one comment [1] in one thread from all the ones 'dang pulled up [2] mentions Carl (his son) at all. Despite the article calling out that Richard Feynman's involvement with the Connection Machine was to follow along w/ Carl's involvement:
> I got to know Richard through his son. I was a graduate student at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and Carl was one of the undergraduates helping me with my thesis project.
Also of note is that Thinking Machines is where the Long Now and Internet Archive folks had worked together (see the "group photo" from [3]).
Definitely a unique group of folks came out of Thinking Machines!
