Danny Hillis to Unleash Artificial Intelligence

[mlawren7]

This dude is a switched-on futurist.

This is not Danny Hillis. This is William Randolph Hearst III.

Read the info smart ass!

[plievone]

You are right, but please consider also other viewers who may be mislead by the title of the video on a casual quick glance, and may be searching for a look on Danny Hillis and his thoughts.

[Sansash01202]

Hillis head up Applied Minds and WR Hearst III is an investor in that project - I don't think anyone searching Danny Hillis would be too disappointed do you? - don't be so quick to criticise. If you don't understand the content and don't want to read the info ... move on!!

[plievone]

Articulations like "smart ass", "anyone searching Danny Hillis would [not] be too disappointed", "quick to criticise", "not understand the content", "not want to read the info" are one's own interpretations. Danny Hillis is a computer scientist related to the Long Now Foundation fame, this nice man in the video is a business man related to Hillis. The description of this (rare) search match of Danny Hillis starts and ends with a mention on Hillis interview, so it seemed reasonable to contribute.

[Sansash01202]

Well now, that wasn't too difficult was it. You managed to read the info - shame you only did it to make a point! I'm not going to argue with you, you're too fruity for me, and, had you read the description before you left your high-handed comment, you wouldn't feel the need now to account for your stupidity. You're blocked so you'll have to spit venom by yourself!

[plievone]

I'm sorry for this misunderstanding and for causing trouble to you. I read the info already when contributing the comment seven months ago, then searched the net quite a while to be sure that this really is William Randolph Hearst III (it was not clear on the info) and then just thought to help somebody by pointing this out. That's all..

[Sansash01202]

Apology accepted - can I ask though why you felt you had to give me the thumbs down? I didn't do that to you and since we are the only two commenting I have to assume that's you - and yes, you have got thumbs down now, I did it!

I was searching for Danny Hillis and it took me a while to realise this was not him. NOBODY reads the "more info" first. The title is misleading. The other guy is ill-mannered. And of course wrong.

@malcolmbryant Yr right. Danny don't do video. Never did much even back in the day when I worked fr him.

There is some real old MIT vid of him with a tinckertoy chess playing computer circa 1980. I can't find it on the web though. Perhaps Sheryl Handler comfiscated it.

[malcolmbryant]

Please see my comment below which supports your original assertion.

@Sansash01202 "Fruity" ? That is rather good whatever the context. ROTFLMAO.

Kudos !

5/5.

What does this really have to do with Artificial Intelligence? It is actually sad.
