Vishal Sikka @vsikka.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Very sorry to hear of his passing. His 3-LISP, and his incredible work on reflection in programming languages, had a profound impact on me as a graduate student (and helped shape my C-FOL work…). And as @rodneyabrooks.bsky.social says his recent work on reckoning in AI is deeply important… RIP 010
Reposted by Vishal SikkaRodney Brooks @rodneyabrooks.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Oh no. The book he is holding "The Promise of Artificial Intelligence" has been profoundly influential on me these last few years. It is his most concise book, and you have to want to read it as it is dense and deep. But it is a real treasure, as was Brian himself. 171
