Although he rejected this scholarship, Martin Mayer wrote in 1997 that since the late 1980s it had been “ clear ” that continuing the Glass-Steagall prohibitions was only “ permitting a handful of large investment houses and hedge funds to charge monopoly rents for their services without protecting corporate America, investors, or the banks .” Hyman Minsky, who disputed the benefits of “ universal banking ,” wrote in 1995 testimony prepared for Congress that “ repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, in itself, would neither benefit nor harm the economy of the United States to any significant extent .” In 1974 Mayer had quoted Minsky as stating a 1971 presidential commission ( the “ Hunt Commission ”) was repeating the errors of history when it proposed relaxing Glass-Steagall and other legislation from the 1930s.

In his pioneering paper, Minsky wrote: " My first vision of a remote-controlled economy came from Robert A. Heinlein's prophetic 1948 novel, Waldo.

Among them are: John Draper ( also known as Captain Crunch ), infamous phone phreaker ; Bill Gates, Harvard dropout and “ cocky wizard ” who wrote Altair BASIC ; Richard Greenblatt, the “ hacker's hacker ”; Steve Jobs, visionary ; Marvin Minsky, “ playful and brilliant " MIT professor who headed the MIT AI Lab ; Richard Stallman, The Last of the True Hackers ; and many, many others.

Minsky was an adviser on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and is referred to in the movie and book.

In 1986, Minsky published The Society of Mind, a comprehensive book on the theory which, unlike most of his previously published work, was written for a general audience.

In November 2006, Minsky published The Emotion Machine, a book that critiques many popular theories of how human minds work and suggests alternative theories, often replacing simple ideas with more complex ones.

But perceptron models were made very unpopular by the book Perceptrons by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert, published in 1969.

The Society of Mind is both the title of a 1988 book and the name of a theory of natural intelligence as written and developed by Marvin Minsky.

Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology is a 1986 molecular nanotechnology book written by K. Eric Drexler with a foreword by Marvin Minsky.

Marvin Minsky calls this the " society of mind " in his book Society of Mind.

The initial excitement became somewhat reduced, though, when in 1969 Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert published the book Perceptrons with mathematical proofs that elucidated some of the characteristics of the three-layer feed-forward perceptrons.

Single-unit perceptrons are only capable of learning linearly separable patterns ; in 1969 in a famous monograph entitled Perceptrons Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert showed that it was impossible for a single-layer perceptron network to learn an XOR function.

Minsky: " But we will also maintain, with Turing.

But Minsky shows ( as do Melzak and Lambek ) that his machine is Turing complete with only four general types of instructions: conditional GOTO, unconditional GOTO, assignment / replacement / substitution, and HALT.

Minsky says that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks.

Besides Danny Hillis, other noted people who worked for or with the company included Greg Papadopoulos, David Waltz, Guy L Steele, Jr., Karl Sims, Brewster Kahle, Bradley Kuszmaul, Charles E. Leiserson, Marvin Minsky, Carl Feynman, Cliff Lasser, Marvin Denicoff, Alex Vasilevksy, Doug Lenat, Stephen Wolfram, Alan Edelman, Eric Lander, Richard Feynman, Richard Fishman, Mirza Mehdi, Alan Harshman, Richard Jordan, Alan Mercer, James Bailey, Tsutomu Shimomura and Jack Schwartz.

Similar in many ways to this is the idea of mind uploading, promoted by Marvin Minsky and others with a mechanistic view of natural intelligence and an optimistic outlook regarding artificial intelligence.

Minsky first started developing the theory with Seymour Papert in the early 1970s.

Minsky said that the biggest source of ideas about the theory came from his work in trying to create a machine that uses a robotic arm, a video camera, and a computer to build with children's blocks.

MIT would eventually be paid three million dollars a year by ARPA to develop time-sharing through Project MAC headed by Robert Fano with the involvement of Corbató, Dennis, and Minsky who would focus on Artificial Intelligence.

The distinction was also partly geographical and cultural: " scruffy " was associated with AI research at MIT under Marvin Minsky in the 1960s.

In some counter machine models ( e. g. Melzak ( 1961 ), Minsky ( 1961 )) and most RAM and RASP models more than one object / mark can be added or removed in one operation with " addition " and usually " subtraction "; sometimes with " multiplication " and / or " division ".

The concept originated in a conversation on a computer net in the 1980s when scientists Marvin Minsky of MIT, John McCarthy, and Hans Moravec of Stanford, speculated about variations on the skyhook concept with Roderick Hyde and Lowell Wood, scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

: Minsky ( 1961 ) and Hopcroft-Ullman 1979 ( p. 171 ) offer the visualization of a multi-tape Turing machine with as many left-ended tapes as " registers ".

During this time he also collaborated with Malcolm Bradbury, Adrian Mitchell, Jake Auerbach, Richard Minsky and Heather McHugh.

Organised by John McCarthy ( then at Dartmouth College ) and formally proposed by McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester and Claude Shannon, the proposal is credited with introducing the term ' artificial intelligence '.

In 1983 David Noble co-founded the National Coalition for Universities in the Public Interest with Ralph Nader and Leonard Minsky to try " to bring extra-academic pressure to bear upon university administrations who were selling out their colleagues and the public in the pursuit of corporate partnerships.

Much of this work was done in collaboration with distinguished researchers at MIT such as Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy, who were regular BBN consultants during the early 1960s.

He was also technically a supervisor of Marvin Minsky, and helped organize the first ever public meeting on Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) with Minsky in 1955.

Under the supervision of Marvin Minsky, Moses received his doctorate in Mathematics at MIT in 1967 with a thesis entitled Symbolic Integration.

Advocates of procedural representations were mainly centered at MIT, under the leadership of Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert.

In the early 1970s at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Minsky and Seymour Papert started developing what came to be called The Society of Mind theory.

A number of well-known computer luminaries have worked at BBN, including John Seely Brown, Jerry Burchfiel, Richard Burton, Allan Collins, William Crowther, John Curran, Wally Feurzeig, Ed Fredkin, Bob Kahn, J. C. R. Licklider, John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Dan Murphy, Severo Ornstein, Seymour Papert, Oliver Selfridge, Bob Thomas, Ray Tomlinson, and Peiter " Mudge " Zatko.

Currently there are more than 25 faculty and academic research staff members, and two emeritus professors, Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert.

At the same time the theory of the perceptron was advanced by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert at MIT.

Papert has been called by Marvin Minsky " the greatest living mathematics educator.

However, this is not true, as both Minsky and Papert already knew that multi-layer perceptrons were capable of producing an XOR Function.

Neural network research stagnated after the publication of machine learning research by Minsky and Papert ( 1969 ).
