Marvin Minsky
​ ​
has posted on this list,
​ ​
he was one of the leaders in AI and, in a completely different field,
invented the Confocal Scanning Microscope
​ ​
which today is a workhorse in biological research.
​ ​
Isaac
​ ​
Asimov was not a modest man and he said in his entire life he only met 2
people that were smarter than he was, one was
​ ​
Carl Sagan
​ ​
and the other was
​ ​
Marvin Minsky
​.​


Nick Szabo
​ ​
was once pretty active on the list and many people say if Hal Finney wasn't
​ ​
Satoshi Nakamoto
​ ​
(the inventor of Bitcoin) then Nick Szabo was. Others think Nakamoto was
really Wei Dai, and he was also quite active on the list.
