More quotes by Marvin Minsky
Everything is similar if you're willing to look far out of focus.
Marvin Minsky
The secret of what anything means to us depends on how we've connected it to all the other things we know. That's why it's almost always wrong to seek the real meaning of anything. A thing with just one meaning has scarcely any meaning at all.
Marvin Minsky
General fiction is pretty much about ways that people get into problems and screw their lives up. Science fiction is about everything else.
Marvin Minsky
Eventually, robots will make everything.
Marvin Minsky
But the big feature of human-level intelligence is not what it does when it is works but what it does when it's stuck.
Marvin Minsky
I believed in realism, as summarized by John McCarthy's comment to the effect that if we worked really hard, we'd have an intelligent system in from four to four hundred years.
Marvin Minsky
Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.
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
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
All intelligent problem solvers are subject to the same ultimate constraints - limitations on space, time, and materials.
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
You don't understand anything unless you understand there are at least 3 ways.
Marvin Minsky
In general, we’re least aware of what our minds do best.
Marvin Minsky
I bet the human brain is a kludge
Marvin Minsky
We turn to quantities when we can't compare the qualities of things.
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
Computer languages of the future will be more concerned with goals and less with procedures specified by the programmer.
Marvin Minsky
If we understood something just one way, we would not understand it at all.
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
One can acquire certainty only by amputating inquiry.
Marvin Minsky
