This document is a biographical profile of computer scientist and inventor Danny Hillis, marked with a House Oversight Committee footer (likely related to the investigation into MIT's funding ties to Jeffrey Epstein, given Hillis's prominence at MIT and the Media Lab context). The text details his education at MIT, his founding of Thinking Machines Corporation, his tenure as a Disney Fellow, and his later ventures including Applied Minds and the Long Now Foundation. It highlights his philosophical views on artificial intelligence, parallel computing, and long-term thinking, specifically referencing his desire to create a 'thinking machine' and the 'Clock of the Long Now.'
