Amazing and fascinating interview, thank you for sharing this. Love his vision back then saying that he would not be surprised that by 2010 (maybe 10-20 years later) pieces of software would be simulate what human brain does
In 1990, Marvin Minsky astutely describes the challenges and difficulties of Artificial Intelligence at the time: not enough people working on it; limited public interest, limited tools, not enough money being invested in it; limited computational technology, insuffienct publishing of accomplishments and failures etc
what was so great? if you look at his predictions from early 60' he was wrong at almost everything .i dont mean to disrespect him because he is smart guy. i work at the A.I field and trust me it is mostly hype that the media is selling for nerds and star wars fans. in reality A.I is just a bunch of equations that can do some cool things and recognize some patterns but thats about it.
@@holahola-gp6vd and yet he is the famous one. Not you. Where is your credibility? I love all the people who forever criticize everything and everyone and sound so bitter.
@@waitwhat6882 look,there was nothing bitter about my comment.i was not saying anything personal about the guy.i was talking only about his predictions,wich alot of times where really out of reality touch. people who may criticize someone doesn't necessarily mean that they are bitter. there is nothing wrong about saying the truth,especially if it was said technically. is your world view so narrow that every critical comment someone will make,makes him bitter or hater?
@@StoicHacker well i work at the field.and im good.diffrence between me and others is that i can predict better what will happen in the future of a.i. I love to argue and bet with my friends at work for long time about certian predictions made and guess what?? I almost always right. Exactly like i was right about self driving cars way back at 2013 when evrybody was sure that by 2020 we will see level 5 autonomous cars and most will be sleeping on there way to work.get in the real world.

I am a bit disappointed on his approach to spirituality. That's just sad, you can't measure it with instruments so there is nothing like that existent. Yeah, it ain't that simple. And I come from a scientific angle, rather, I love science. Alas, I will not deny the limits of measureability as an argument to prove something possibly non-physical exists or not. I refer to the knowledge argument, which one should look up. Another thing that reminds me of this is the problem of dark matter. Which might actually be a glitch in our physical model of the universe. RIP Marv.
You think that someone who invented new technological ideas you'd think he would understand that there is always the possibly of such an instrument not existing _YET_
"...That's just sad, you can't measure it with instruments so there is nothing like that existent. Yeah, it ain't that simple...." That is what you have heard. His statement was not about spirituality itself, but people who claim to know something without having something else to put forward than their claim about spirits outside of anything that interact with the world we live in. Also, he did not make a claim about being not existant. That does not even make sense. And no, dark matter is not a "glitch", but a limit of the standard model, that scientists are very aware about. Physicists can even quantify this limit or error, that you call a "glitch". Btw, science or nature does not owe you satisfaction or to make you happy.
Did Marvin totally miss out on music, on language, and on art? What the heck? Just taking into consideration that of language, clearly is a computerized methodology (process) of capturing and describing complex events only not on the scale of the computerized processing. Computers only changed the speed, accuracy and scale. It didn't invent anything new!!!! The next quantum leap prior to the transistor was the printing press, then audio and video recording all of which were computerized ways of capturing processes dynamically with a higher degree of complexity. Had he said, only since 1950 the capturing and processing of processes have never before happened on the degree that computers allow, then yes, I would agree.
A piece of Music and a piece of Art is not a process. Also Language itself is not a process. Of course, there were things like recipes. People interchanged these recipes how to make things. You could call that a process. But there are reasons, why Ada Lovelace is called the first programmer, even though the hardware back then did not even exist. Before the 1950s, there was no one who thought about processes itself being used as kinds of building blocks. Minsky explains it in this interview.
When one gives solutions (answers) to questions, some folk process questions as images in space (in their mind, with their physical eyes moving - which is in your statement). Common answers (an average person would give) don't require much thought, the answers he's giving require an above average level of abstraction (as far as I can guess) mentally. So it's just a matter of course that when he's modifying an abstract answer in his mind to answer the interviewers question, the dude eyes are moving - it's all good, the guys answers are on point. Some, if not most people don't do that but that's okay. :)
Wow his voice is completely different than it was in his later years
What a joy to have been able to see this, I love how contrarian Marvin is. He has inspired so much in me
thank you so much for sharing this Interview
😍

High quality interview, with the questions, sound and resolution.
Thank yo for uploading this !
Jeff Goldblum could have played him in a movie on his life.
And perhaps may still.
thanks for sharing

Woooow what a video of Marvin, Thanks for sharing. One of the influential people in my life
Really 🤔
Best ASMR video
This guy is so awesome

The cameraman believes that at the start of every question is a good time to alter the shot. Leave it alone!
😂😂😂
had a very calm way of speaking
Just his opening comment alone is eye opening.
In 1990, Marvin Minsky astutely describes the challenges and difficulties of Artificial Intelligence at the time: not enough people working on it; limited public interest, limited tools, not enough money being invested in it; limited computational technology, insuffienct publishing of accomplishments and failures etc
Great person.
This guy was caught on a weird island resort doing really weird stuff
Thanks a lot!
His outer visual cortex I very shiny ✨️
He was a truly visionary man
For a awhile some suspected he was the Unabomber lol
Probably because he doesn't like Chomsky 😆
I love this
Was he related to Hyman Minsky (the economist who conceive of the Minsky moment)?

Can’t even imagine being as intelligent as him and Paul Samuelson
Yeah, now imagine what went on in Richard Feynmans head 😂

Brilliant, though he misjudged the importance of maths.
As a mathmatician... no, he did not. He pointed out its flaws and you do not agree. Different than misjudging.

so who are you if you let go of all thoughts

The way his eyes dart around is a little creepy😬😬
Yeah there’s some rumors about him unfortunately.
@@quantum_ocean I find it creepy you don’t think the way his eyes dart around is creepy😂
That’s called projection, Edimalo. Look it up…
He's probably looking at each person in the room. Making eye contact with the camera man, the interviewer, and the sound man.
