Computer science has a bug. No compiler will ever catch it.
It might be the most dangerous one we’ve ever shipped. And with #AI, we’re about to ship it everywhere.
It starts with a deceptively simple question: what is #ComputerScience actually about?
If you said “computers,” you’re in good company.
I’d argue you’re also wrong.
The answer, and the bug, are in this article. It involves a telescope and your neighbor’s window.
Read it. Then tell me where I’m wrong.
Computer science isn’t about computers, any more than astronomy is about telescopes. So what is it about? And what bug can no compiler catch?
