Interview With Marvin Minsky, 1990 

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

Jeff Goldblum could have played him in a movie on his life.

thank you so much for sharing this Interview 😍

Thank yo for uploading this !

thanks for sharing WGBH

High quality interview, with the questions, sound and resolution.

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

The cameraman believes that at the start of every question is a good time to alter the shot. Leave it alone!

He was a truly visionary man

Thanks a lot!

Just his opening comment alone is eye opening.

I love this

Woooow what a video of Marvin, Thanks for sharing. One of the influential people in my life

Great person.

had a very calm way of speaking

Best ASMR video

Was he related to Hyman Minsky (the economist who conceive of the Minsky moment)?

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

For a awhile some suspected he was the Unabomber lol

This guy was caught on a weird island resort doing really weird stuff

The Great Marvin Minsky

Can’t even imagine being as intelligent as him and Paul Samuelson

so who are you if you let go of all thoughts

Brilliant, though he misjudged the importance of maths.

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.

Abstractionism 101

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.

The way his eyes dart around is a little creepy😬😬
