    In 1990, Marvin Minsky astutely describes the challenges and difficulties of Artificial Intelligence at the time: not enough people working on it; limited public interest, limited tools, not enough money being invested in it; limited computational technology, insuffienct publishing of accomplishments and failures etc

    what was so great? if you look at his predictions from early 60' he was wrong at almost everything .i dont mean to disrespect him because he is smart guy. i work at the A.I field and trust me it is mostly hype that the media is selling for nerds and star wars fans. in reality A.I is just a bunch of equations that can do some cool things and recognize some patterns but thats about it.

    Did Marvin totally miss out on music, on language, and on art? What the heck? Just taking into consideration that of language, clearly is a computerized methodology (process) of capturing and describing complex events only not on the scale of the computerized processing. Computers only changed the speed, accuracy and scale. It didn't invent anything new!!!! The next quantum leap prior to the transistor was the printing press, then audio and video recording all of which were computerized ways of capturing processes dynamically with a higher degree of complexity. Had he said, only since 1950 the capturing and processing of processes have never before happened on the degree that computers allow, then yes, I would agree.

    I am a bit disappointed on his approach to spirituality. That's just sad, you can't measure it with instruments so there is nothing like that existent. Yeah, it ain't that simple. And I come from a scientific angle, rather, I love science. Alas, I will not deny the limits of measureability as an argument to prove something possibly non-physical exists or not. I refer to the knowledge argument, which one should look up. Another thing that reminds me of this is the problem of dark matter. Which might actually be a glitch in our physical model of the universe. RIP Marv.

    When one gives solutions (answers) to questions, some folk process questions as images in space (in their mind, with their physical eyes moving - which is in your statement). Common answers (an average person would give) don't require much thought, the answers he's giving require an above average level of abstraction (as far as I can guess) mentally. So it's just a matter of course that when he's modifying an abstract answer in his mind to answer the interviewers question, the dude eyes are moving - it's all good, the guys answers are on point. Some, if not most people don't do that but that's okay. :)
