Fascinating talk! " Every system that we build will surprise us with new kinds of flaws until those machines become clever enough to conceal their faults from us." -Marvin Minsky
That’s not smart. They waste their time making stuff that destroy the earth, & then try and make solutions to not destroy the earth. And haven’t created any. Theyre dumb.
RIP Marvin. Rarely have I encountered a more profound thinker. Pound for Pound, who was sharper than Marvin? He speaks densely. His pauses are just as lucid as his spoken word. Incredible. I love how he talks and thinks about thinking.
Maria Robbins Marvin says in another place (Web of Stories) that Feynman and Dyson intimidated him into giving up maths and physics. He said a proof by Dyson left him dumbfounded that anything that complicated could be proven!
His humility? Really? He called everyone else "very slow", said there was no point in being a mathematician if one wasn't the "best", and if he couldn't understand something, immediately wrote it off as wrong. This man was far from humble.
And he’s nuts. He thinks sports will be gone in a couple hundred years. Sports have been around since civilization has been around. And there are many reasons for sports, not intellectual, but beneficial to humans in countless ways. Silly little man. Lol

It's so true, what he said about there being no point to being second-best in Mathematics. I started my college career as a Mathematics major because I was good at calculus and differential equations. I discovered less than a year later that a.) that's not actual mathematics b.) there were many people even at my University that were MUCH MUCH better at real mathematics than I.
He attended Princeton & Harvard I'm quite sure he trained and developed to narrate like such. But I'm in agreement it's soothing but your remark is borderline homosexual lol

I can almost hear him thinking… “geniuses.” Shrugs and thinks to himself “Well, that’s what they were…” Then he quickly shifts to a polite euphemism. 😁
His blind spot regarding sport is really quite odd. He sees sport as a science test. An equation. Something that could be worked out then solved to the point there would be no point doing it again. The idea that sport will die in a hundred years because people will realise this? The visceral, emotional and uncertainty of sport IS the attraction. The very aspect of it he doesn’t understand is the whole point of it. Listening to Penrose, Feynman and others, they all seem to have one aspect of life that baffles them. It makes them more fascinating as human beings.
26:32 "Well eventually they'll catch on.." No, they won't. An example of a very smart person saying something very dumb about something he just doesn't get.

He proposed how to approach finding a proper representation of it by not trying to minimize and simplify rulesets / laws. Maybe this hints to that the proper language for describing consciousness is somehow incompatible with current mathematic expression capabilities. I wonder if someone ever made attempts to research the possible limitation of finding an answer to that from within our own understanding.

Excellent. But I think Marvin's intuition might be wrong. The Universe evolved much longer than humans, yet few laws explain most of the phenomena. Why would not the same apply to the human mind? Suppose you didn't know about Maxwell, Newton and Einstein, you might also be coming with a "society of Universe," 400 different explanations for different phenomena, processes, critics, k lines, etc...

Someone smart please explain how a basketball score discrepancy of a few points out of a couple hundred is not a standard distribution. If NBA games are commonly won within a few points, why should the sigma be broader?
It shouldn’t. It’s obvious he tried unsuccessfully to participate in athletics. He seems bitter. He’s use to being awesome at intellectual pursuits and has had great success. Failing at another endeavor made him spiteful. His remarks regarding the purpose of sports are particularly revealing. Oh well. Nobody’s perfect. He was a smart man and contributed to the advancement of human technology, which I guess is good. If you think that sort of tech is good for us. Sometimes I have deep doubts about that. Certainly makes it easy for the government to keep track of us all. 😮😮😮

I cannot listen to this, but at least I've learned something: that lots of people find these sounds soothing. Wish I felt that way, but it ain't gonna happen 👂❌
Differences in outcomes in science have to achieve a certain level of disparity before they are considered to be Significant. Winning by a narrow margin would mean that, scientifically speaking, there is very little difference between the two teams and the result of the game would be more or less ignored. And if games being studied continued to be won by narrow margins there would be no point in studying them. Again, this is COMPLETELY through the lens of a Scientist… not a fan. 😂
Of course you think it is correct, it’s your theory. How modest of you!!! Btw, he just has a high I.Q. Like so many others before and after him. Same species, high I.Q.
Definitely sour grapes. It sounds like he wants to be the best at whatever he does, but if he can’t then that thing is beneath him and unworthy of existence. He also singles out Basketball, making me wonder if he was lowkey racist.

Someone smart please explain how a basketball score discrepancy of a few points out of a couple hundred is not a standard distribution. If NBA games are commonly won within a few points, why should the sigma be broader?
It shouldn’t. It’s obvious he tried unsuccessfully to participate in athletics. He seems bitter. He’s use to being awesome at intellectual pursuits and has had great success. Failing at another endeavor made him spiteful. His remarks regarding the purpose of sports are particularly revealing. Oh well. Nobody’s perfect. He was a smart man and contributed to the advancement of human technology, which I guess is good. If you think that sort of tech is good for us. Sometimes I have deep doubts about that. Certainly makes it easy for the government to keep track of us all. 😮😮😮
@@Rcd872 I’m just wondering if I’m misunderstanding what he’s talking about. I never took a statistics class.
@@BingbangboompowwhamYou just didn't catch on...I guess because as a mere mortal you can't live for a couple of hundred years to develop a brain that would allow you to get Marvin's undisputable logic of it. 😂
Minsky was the AI great thinker.
Except that he pushed back AI research quite a bit with his fundamentalism and misunderstanding of psychology. Many people, including "experts", even belief that an AI does exist, when it's just algorithms and computer learning (thought as problem solving like it is for animals).
تكون النوعية الشائعة، الخاصة بالتجارب الصوفية لاوصفية، شعورًا قويًا باليقين الذي لا يمكن التعبير عنه بالكلمات. هددت الشكوكية هذه اللاوصفية. وفقًا لآرثر شوبنهاور، تكون التجربة الداخلية للتصوف غير مقنعة فلسفيًا. في آلة العاطفة، يجادل مارفن مينسكي أن التجارب الصوفية تبدو عميقة ومقنعة فقط لأن مَلكات العقل الناقدة غير نشطة نسبيًا خلالها.
1:14:10. What will happen when the office disappears. Way ahead of the game.
Tried to listen but the mouth noises are too distracting.
I'm surprised by how many people call this 'ASMR heaven'! The smacking noises make me feel frantic and furious, like I HAVE to escape or die. I've had misophonia since I was a kid. It causes really strong emotional and even physical reactions in me, even though I know it's irrational. I cannot listen to this, but at least I've learned something: that lots of people find these sounds soothing. Wish I felt that way, but it ain't gonna happen 👂❌
can someone please explain to me wtf he means with the basketball thing
@@irp7999 lmaoooo thanks
Nonsense.
He doesn’t even know.
Differences in outcomes in science have to achieve a certain level of disparity before they are considered to be Significant. Winning by a narrow margin would mean that, scientifically speaking, there is very little difference between the two teams and the result of the game would be more or less ignored. And if games being studied continued to be won by narrow margins there would be no point in studying them. Again, this is COMPLETELY through the lens of a Scientist… not a fan. 😂
53:23 'Psychology had Physics envy.' That's hilarious!
Yeah, quite idiotic.
Real genius...

Gone through this video 300+ times still dont remember sh.t from it. Bald dude of my dreams. (Literally)😅
My theory is that minsky was an eskenazim and therefore with higher than average intelligence, different species. I think my theory is correct.
Of course you think it is correct, it’s your theory. How modest of you!!! Btw, he just has a high I.Q. Like so many others before and after him. Same species, high I.Q.

Dude loses in wrestling and develops a lifelong hate for all sports.
Joshua Tiller dude also wasn’t getting any and ended up flying over to Epstein island.. they were buddies.
Definitely sour grapes. It sounds like he wants to be the best at whatever he does, but if he can’t then that thing is beneath him and unworthy of existence. He also singles out Basketball, making me wonder if he was lowkey racist.
@@TheVampirePredator You are interpreting too much into things that are different from you.
Butthurt too much? 😂
@@Sir_Charles007 I would definitely say he is. Lol
Someone got left off the varsity squad in high school and is still salty about it
Do mathematicians and physicists actually do anything or just talk about college.
yes, they created the theories that allowed to build the device you are using to post this stupid comment. Just to name one.

AI well on irs way now Minsky one of the great funded minds
Are any of these videos not edited with slurping licking noises?
@ 53:36 Psychology should be more classification rather than reductionism to laws.
Yes, that man had little intellectual integrity.

He needed some water.
He doesn’t compete because he fears of losing.He doesn’t compete yet he wants to be the best.
There is cowardice in that - oh the proud infallible human is quite cute, until...

Society of Mind
Dr. Cheik Anta Diop's 'The African Origins of Civilization.' Please read.
What is the next book Marvin wrote 20 years after the society of minds?
Zhiyong Wang
I think it is the book titled “The Emotion Machine” , 2006
One you shouldn’t bother reading. Lol
