Minsky is an actor in an artificial intelligence koan from the Jargon file: :In the days when Sussman? was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6?. :"What are you doing?", asked Minsky. :"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe?" Sussman replied. :"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky. :"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said. :Minsky then shut his eyes. :"Why do you close your eyes?", Sussman asked his teacher. :"So that the room will be empty." :At that moment, Sussman was enlightened. |
