More quotes by Marvin Minsky
I cannot articulate enough to express my dislike to people who think that understanding spoils your experience... How would they know?
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
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
In general, we’re least aware of what our minds do best.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 science, one learns the most by studying what seems to be the least.
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
If we understood something just one way, we would not understand it at all.
Marvin Minsky
Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.
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
Experience has shown that science frequently develops most fruitfully once we learn to examine the things that seem the simplest, instead of those that seem the most mysterious.
Marvin Minsky
How many processes are going on, to keep that teacup level in your grasp? There must be a hundred of them.
