Reminded me of my fascination as a younger child, with inventors and their creations made through the magic of science and logic.
Very interesting to draw parallels in community and purpose of the science scene of then, and the start-up/tech culture of today.
Subtle parallels exist, such as:
Individuals creating for the sake of progress and personal ego, with little priority on the ethics and politics surrounding it — a commonly voiced concern with AGI development.
Oppenheimer seemed an incredibly intelligent and accomplished visionary, who occupied a leadership/orchestrative enabled by his multi-faceted expertise and interests — somewhat similar to individuals like Steve Jobs.
