> Hewitt’s actor model

Hewitt's actors are arguably the earliest version of "agents" out there. But about one out of every 17,000 techbros running around claiming to be an AI expert today has even heard of actors. Much less Society of Mind, or any of the pioneering work on Agents that came out of the Stanford KSL[1] or UMBC (remember "AgentWeb"[2]?).

And don't even mention KQML, FIPA, DAML+OIL, or KIF, or AgentSpeak, or JADE...
