Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Bell Labs comes up

▶ 38:48 Ben Horowitz Aside from AT&T's monopoly that drove Bell Labs, I have yet to see systemic, uh, technological progress from private investment. 2 times in the scene

▶ 52:32 unnamed speaker Um, and so, I guess the way I think about it is, like, if you have ever wished that you could have been, like, a semiconductor engineer at Bell Labs in the 19 fifties, or a PC enthusiast in the 19 seventies,

▶ 9:46 Safi Bahcall It was developed at Bell Labs, although it was based on a lot of federal research, but it was developed at Bell Labs while they were looking for better switches. 2 times in the scene

▶ 44:22 John Hennessy So I think there was a time when IBM Research, Xerox PARC, and Bell Labs were the great giants. 2 times in the scene
▶ 46:51 Marc Andreessen Zaris Park, Bell Labs, IBM Research.

▶ 29:18 Sonal Chokshi And if experienced like a place like Bell Labs or any famous R&D center, that's the secret formula of how they interact, this collaborative environment in the combination of very healthy disagreement.

▶ 20:19 Juan Benet One of the, my big frustrations with, uh, the world we live in is that the old Bell Labs no longer exists.

▶ 13:49 Jimmy Soni Those mentors get him a wartime contract working at Bell Laboratories that spares him from the draft. 2 times in the scene
▶ 16:12 Jimmy Soni He moves to the West Village in New York, and he starts going to Bell Labs every day. 7 times in the scene
▶ 24:56 Jimmy Soni She is a computer at Bell Labs, and what that meant was that she was helping engineers do math.

▶ 25:17 Chad Rigetti In around in 1995, a mathematician at Bell Labs named Peter Shore discovered an algorithm that if one could build a large scale quantum computer, one could run an algorithm that would that would be able to factor large numbers in…

▶ 9:30 Cameron Schuler So I think ideally if you ran things like Bell Labs or GTE,
▶ 21:12 Cameron Schuler So one of our industrial partners is a financial institution that has truly started something like a Bell Labs, and that's the sort of thing they need to do.

▶ 20:21 Benedict Evans Um, well, what's happened is that the value kind of moves up the stack with each generation, and so it went from being the, um, network operators who designed and built, I mean, back in the eighties, the network operators designed and… 2 times in the scene

▶ 18:18 Peter Levine Up till, well, to me, re, uh, up until recently came from, like, Bell Labs and IBM and Microsoft Research, and that's where a lot of the new, I, I would say the new commercial ideas came from folks leaving those and pushing the envelope.

▶ 24:06 Tren Griffin Now there, there were pluses and minuses to that and resulted in Bell Labs, but it also resulted in a lot of stagnation. 2 times in the scene

▶ 9:26 Frank Chen Originally we made these transistors out of vacuum tubes, but eventually the geniuses at Bell Labs figured out how to create transistors out of semiconductors.
▶ 14:30 Frank Chen In contrast with a quantum algorithm solving this problem, and in this particular case, the quantum algorithm was designed by Love Grover, working at Bell Labs at the time, it's going to take advantage of quantum mechanical properties to…
▶ 26:28 Frank Chen One of the things that I wished I could have done, but I wasn't born in the right decade for this, is to be a fly on the wall inside Bell Labs when all of the key ingredients for computing as we know today 2 times in the scene

▶ 6:07 Josh Bloom Um, doing that directly with, uh, charged couple devices was one of the main, sort of, use cases of what drove, um, CCD development, you know, at Bell Labs, uh, you know, sort of, 40 years ago.
