More quotes by Marvin Minsky
No computer has ever been designed that is ever aware of what it's doing but most of the time, we aren't either.
Marvin Minsky
All intelligent problem solvers are subject to the same ultimate constraints - limitations on space, time, and materials.
Marvin Minsky
Kubrick's vision seemed to be that humans are doomed, whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of evolution.
Marvin Minsky
Common sense is not a simple thing. Instead, it is an immense society of hard-earned practical ideas - of multitudes of life-learned rules and exceptions, dispositions and tendencies, balances and checks.
Marvin Minsky
By the way, it was his simulations that helped out in Jurassic Park - without them, there would have been only a few dinosaurs. Based on his techniques, Industrial Light and Magic could make whole herds of dinosaurs race across the screen.
Marvin Minsky
One can acquire certainty only by amputating inquiry.
Marvin Minsky
How many processes are going on, to keep that teacup level in your grasp? There must be a hundred of them.
Marvin Minsky
Theorems often tell us complex truths about the simple things, but only rarely tell us simple truths about the complex ones. To believe otherwise is wishful thinking or mathematics envy.
Marvin Minsky
In science, one learns the most by studying what seems to be the least.
Marvin Minsky
What magical trick makes us intelligent? The trick is that there is no trick. The power of intelligence stems from our vast diversity, not from any single, perfect principle.
Marvin Minsky
The principal activities of brains are making changes in themselves.
Marvin Minsky
You don't understand anything unless you understand there are at least 3 ways.
Marvin Minsky
We turn to quantities when we can't compare the qualities of things.
Marvin Minsky
It's ridiculous to live 100 years and only be able to remember 30 million bytes. You know, less than a compact disc. The human condition is really becoming more obsolete every minute.
Marvin Minsky
Once the computers got control, we might never get it back. We would survive at their sufferance. If we're lucky, they might decide to keep us as pets.
Marvin Minsky
There was a failure to recognize the deep problems in AI for instance, those captured in Blocks World. The people building physical robots learned nothing.
Marvin Minsky
Everything, including that which happens in our brains, depends on these and only on these: A set of fixed, deterministic laws.
Marvin Minsky
An ethicist is somebody who sees something wrong with whatever you have in mind.
Marvin Minsky
It would be as useless to perceive how things 'actually look' as it would be to watch the random dots on untuned television screens.
Marvin Minsky
In general, we’re least aware of what our minds do best.
