Timm Martin, author of Uncanny Valleys, is a lifelong computer programmer soon to be retired by AI. He has correctly predicted then failed to capitalize on numerous computer revolutions, including the world wide web, digital music, mobile apps, cryptocurrency, and now AI. All because Timm has spent his professional life chasing his white whale of managing humanity’s complex web of digital information. Which seems almost folly, given that AI will soon do all the thinking around here.
Timm lives with his wife Theresa and a pack of happy dogs (including Ringo, above) on their 350-acre nature preserve in the beautiful mountains of southern Kentucky.
