SICP SICP SICP (Some Haskell would be good too, but there's just no SICP equivalent yet.)

I'll just say that "intelligence.org" is as heavy-handed as Google buying the .dev TLD.


The name of the organization is the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.


Would you be willing to share why you think this is heavy-handed?


I don't think I could bring myself to be a "Bright" for that reason (see the-brights.net)...

A name is enough of a reason on it's own?

How you identify yourself makes a difference to how you're judged, and hence the influence you can bring to bear on the world.

Or, you know, if I someday gain a bit more public recognition and clout, it may start to matter then how I self-identified back in 2010.
