In #Clojure, if you query a set for a member, and that member is present, that member is returned:
user=> (#{:a :b :c} :a)
:a
The traditional #Lisp function ASSOC has the signature
(ASSOC store key) => value
where store is assumed to be a list of (key . value) dotted pai…

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @javascript@app.wafrn.net @link@meowing.men What's worse? Donald Duck with his lisp talking dirty to you or Goofy's moans? (📊) RE: @javascript@app.wafrn.net @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @link@meowing.men My mind is cursing me with various examples of what this would sound like with Goofy's stutter. I mean, it could be worse. I could have brought Donald Duck into this with the corkscrew peni- fuck RE: ...

JCL support as alternative to system menu.
In our continuing effort to support languages other than LISP on the CADDR,
we have developed an OS/360-compatible JCL. This can be used as an
alternative to the standard system menu. Type System J to get to a JCL
interactive read-execute-diagnose loop window. [Note that for 360
compatibility, all input lines are truncated to 80 characters.] This
window als…

Back when I worked at SDC in Santa Monica (roughly 1971 through 1980) one of our department's projects was an early AI project.
We had an entire IBM 370 mainframe running CP/67 (which became IBM's VM) running LISP based AI code.
I think that the group may have been using it for continuous speech recognition - which we knew our "national security' customer was planning to use to automate wiretaps.
(I used the speech recognition project's soundproof room …

I think the root of the “AI” evil is when AI researchers in the 1960s recognized that they outrageously underestimated the complexity of the human mind.
They became humiliated by their promises that AGI was just a few years away—and then went full goblin mode that’s lasting to this day.
Some of the OG researchers took it quite badly that they stalled and weren’t in the limelight anymore.
‣ Marvin Minsky (co-founder of MIT AI lab and arguably the most important early AI bro) went on to visit Epstein’s island multiple times.
‣ Karl Steinbuch, who came up with the German term for computer science ("Informatik")—who also was a literal Nazi (and likely war criminal) in World War II—later wrote articles in ultra-right magazines about things like “equal rights rob women of their children”.
‣ John McCarthy (inventor of Lisp, co-authored document that coined the term “Artificial Intelligence”) was a staunch Republican who years later claimed (in a serious article) that “thermostats have beliefs”.
[one moment, I am receiving more information]
‣ There’s a second Epstein Island AI pioneer? Who also was Chief Learning Officer at… Trump University? That would be Roger Schank (founded one of the first AI companies in the 1980s AI boom, it even had an IPO. Of course the 1980s AI bubble burst).
Obviously all of the above received all the awards in computer science and are very revered people.

People are very flexible and learn to adjust to strange
surroundings -- they can become accustomed to read Lisp and
Fortran programs, for example.
