More quotes by Marvin Minsky
Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.
Marvin Minsky
Computer languages of the future will be more concerned with goals and less with procedures specified by the programmer.
Marvin Minsky
I bet the human brain is a kludge
Marvin Minsky
But just as astronomy succeeded astrology, following Kepler's discovery of planetary regularities, the discoveries of these many principles in empirical explorations of intellectual processes in machines should lead to a science, eventually.
Marvin Minsky
Everything is similar if you're willing to look far out of focus.
Marvin Minsky
Anyone could learn Lisp in one day, except that if they already knew Fortran, it would take three days.
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
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
I cannot articulate enough to express my dislike to people who think that understanding spoils your experience... How would they know?
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
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
We turn to quantities when we can't compare the qualities of things.
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
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
If we understood something just one way, we would not understand it at all.
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
Our present culture may be largely shaped by this strange idea of isolating children's thought from adult thought. Perhaps the way our culture educates its children better explains why most of us come out as dumb as they do, than it explains how some of us come out as smart as they do.
Marvin Minsky
The brain happens to be a meat machine.
Marvin Minsky
In general, we’re least aware of what our minds do best.
Marvin Minsky
The principal activities of brains are making changes in themselves.
