When We Bridged The Decades

April 10, 2026: In the quiet space between decades, where Gull-Mays pen meets silicon dreams, we trace the thread from 1986 to now. Danny Hillis built his brain of light, 65,000 processors humming in the Cambridge night. Feynman walked the wires, Minsky saw the neural spark. The great transition unfolds—replication yields to design.

Featuring the actual lyrics:

Gull-May wrote it back in 86

Before the net, before the tricks

Connection machines and parallel dreams

Thinking Machines in Cambridge seams

Danny Hillis built the brain

65,000 processors in the rain

Feynman walked the wires at night

Minsky saw the neural light

The great transition, replication to design

Evolution yields, intention aligns
