Richard GreenblattRichard D. Greenblatt is a programmer. Along with Bill Gosper, he may be considered to have founded the hacker community, and holds pride of place in the Lisp community. Affiliated with the MIT AI Lab during his prime, he is known as the "hacker of hackers". He wrote the MacHack, in response to the claim by AI sceptic Hubert Dreyfus that computers would not be able to play chess. Dreyfus was beaten by the program, and this marked the beginning of computer chess. He also wrote, with Tom Knight and Stewart Nelson, the Incompatible Timesharing System, a highly influential timesharing operating system for the PDP-6 and PDP-10 used at MIT. Later, he was the main designer of the MIT Lisp machine. He founded the Lisp Machines, Inc., according to his vision of an ideal hacker-friendly computer company. Greenblatt, Richard
