>From 2007 <https://reason.com/2016/01/26/artificial-intelligence-pioneer-and-tran/>: "Minsky's talk, "Matter, Mind and Models," dealt with how he thinks the field of artificial intelligence (AI) went off track. He blamed 'physics envy' on the part of AI researchers who sought some simple set of principles that would underlie and explain intelligence."
>From 2014 (just before Minsky died) <https://youtu.be/DfY-DRsE86s?t=5402>: "It seems to me that the most important discovery since Gödel was the discovery by Chaitin, Solomonoff and Kolmogorov of the concept called Algorithmic Probability which is a fundamental new theory of how to make predictions given a collection of experiences and this is a beautiful theory, everybody should learn it, but it’s got one problem, that is, that you cannot actually calculate what this theory predicts because it is too hard, it requires an infinite amount of work. However, it should be possible to make practical approximations to the Chaitin, Kolmogorov, Solomonoff theory that would make better predictions than anything we have today. Everybody should learn all about that and spend the rest of their lives working on it." ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T07361bd0216a4e97-M96c5c2312a0345851a5acece Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
