> Hewitt’s actor model
Hewitt's actors are arguably the earliest version of "agents" out there. But about one out of every 17,000 techbros running around claiming to be an AI expert today has even heard of actors. Much less Society of Mind, or any of the pioneering work on Agents that came out of the Stanford KSL[1] or UMBC (remember "AgentWeb"[2]?).
And don't even mention KQML, FIPA, DAML+OIL, or KIF, or AgentSpeak, or JADE...

- dang 1y agoCan you please edit swipes and putdowns out of your HN comments? They just make everything worse. "Edit out swipes." "Don't be curmudgeonly." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- mindcrime 1y agoBut I like being curmudgeonly!! ;p Nah, all joking aside, no problem. I think it's relatively rare for me to be that way, but I'm human like everybody. And certain "hot button" issues can occasionally set me off. Too late to change this, but I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.
- dang 1y agoAppreciated!
