Ten Lessons Learned
1. If it bothers you, it might bother others.
2. The purpose of models is to give insight.
3. Respect fiddling fingers!
4. Specialized AI is powerful and magical.
5. People want magical interfaces.
6. Empty space lets you advance.
7. You don’t need to be an expert – you just need to be interested.
8. Be patient.
9. Let your reach exceed your grasp.
10. Kids can understand anything if it taught well.
I can think of nothing that
an audience won’t
understand. The only
problem is to interest
them; once they are
interested, they
understand anything in
the world. –Orson Welles
