Put a PC on Every Desk

Yesterday we had a lecture given by Soryu about Buddhism in the age of AI. During this session, he made an interesting comparison.

He was talking about Bill Gates, who came up with the idea some decades ago that “we should put a personal computer on every desk.” A computer on every desk was considered so absurd that he (Bill Gates) was laughed at.

Soryu used that quote from Bill Gates to transfer it to the mission of MAPLE when he said, “He (Bill Gates) did it! It's shocking. It's like someone saying we should turn the world into a monastery.”
