Marvin Minsky @ TCNJ

TCNJ hosted the Music, Mind, and Invention workshop in Marvin Minsky’s honor in March 2012 to explore the rich interconnections between music, cognition, computation, and creativity. The Schools of the Arts & Communication, Engineering, and Science all collaborated together to jointly present this event, with additional support from the National Science Foundation.
The workshop included a keynote address by Minsky and invited talks by distinguished scholars from Harvard, MIT, Princeton, NYU, Drexel, and Boston University.

Such a lovely man. RIP Marvin 🙏🏻

[@jameslimburn4210]

Thoroughly enjoyed this man’s reminiscences and lectures alike, along with the ASMR chill they provide. RIP Marvin.

[@DaveHefty]

Awe... didn’t know he passed. I’ve been enjoying his vids last couple days

[@TheToonMonkey]

Love that he wore a tie with that shirt. Love it even more that it's a hand woven tie.

[@jamyee]

What’s the pattern on the shirt. I keep looking at it but can’t pick it out.

The best ASMRtist in the world. Despite that, an absolute genius!

[@catherinerickard699]

If he knew that asmr was popular , he would study it . He is so incredibly captivating ... I wAnt to take in what he is saying but he is so spine tingling asmry I keep dozing off. ☺️🎓

[@lifemusic1980]

I watch his interview constantly to fall asleep.

[@AmeerFazal]

@@catherinerickard699 He wouldn't study it because it is popular culture. He would spend his time thinking about building AI or how to escape from solar system.

[@jamyee]

I can listen to him for hours, because of his ASMR voice. And listening to his classes, he’s an absolute genius. Listening is a win-win! ASMR tingles and brain expansion!
Rest Easy Marvin!

I also came to know about Manfred and Sentics through this lecture. Anyways, more praise to Minsky

[@science212]

Minsky was a great AI thinker.

[@James-mk8jp]

Like a curious and wise turtle. Irreplaceable human.

[@pogger4649]

A hand woven tie... fuckin love this man.. glad he’s cryogenically frozen at Alcor until we can download his mind into an AI body.

[@jamyee]

Alcor won’t confirm or deny it. Lol.

[@kbholla]

That's never going to happen you idiot.

[@bobaldo2339]

Music is a cultural language, with emotional meaning. Maximizing complexity does not get you there.

[@TheThearchangel90650]

I found him through ASMR but I have searched for his videos for his knowledge

[@marcom.645]

Take a shot every time he smack his lips 😂

[@marybetheby5184]

Get him a spit bucket next to that podium.Good grief that's gross..

[@temporallabsol9531]

@@marybetheby5184 You should see some of the other lectures. Still, worth it if you value knowledge and wisdom with some fun filler.

[@bid0bid]

@@marybetheby5184 He's old and dying trying to pass on some knowledge. He is dead now. Someone in his audience here may change the world. Hopefully no one there was concerned about how gross his voice is. Good luck!
