     @billseitz I think that LegendusMaximus in lambda told me they got the seminar room prototype from mediamoo. They probably told me more but it's too hot for thinking these days

     Mike, is Virtual Marvin still running anywhere?

     @screwtape @mtraven23 @asb I wonder whether something like MOOSE Crossing would still be a viable gateway to having people learn programming....

     @billseitz @screwtape I doubt it but you could ask ASB. Have contemplated a new LLM powered virtual Marvin but not sure he would approve.

     @mtraven23 @billseitz
     Thanks!

     Anyone have a convenient @ dump of virtual Marvin? #lambdaMOO #mediaMOO

     or cobot the self-programming community robot for that matter.

     By the way, do you have a hint on his work intersecting with Erik Sandewall's eventual Leonardo System? (He was at Linkoping, but a year - I want to say, 1976 visiting MIT).

     @screwtape @billseitz Not really. I see Sandewall is cited in Minsky's classic Frames paper. https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/6089/AIM-306.pdf?%2520sequence%3D2
