Neil Gershenfeld<http://www.edge.org/memberbio/neil_gershenfeld> Physicist, Director, MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms; Author, FAB Totally agree: He blames Turing and von Neumann So do I. We stopped doing real empirical work on the inorganic brain 60 years ago. We failed for 60 years to make an inorganic brain. Computer "Science" was never and never will be an empirical science at all. It is 100% the experimental exploration of theoretical models .... and has been generationally systemically confused with empirical science. Party's over.
