A very unusual professor! I love his funny moments at 0:05 - German makes fun of himself :-) 3:50 Columbus joke :-) 4:27 small audience joke :-) 8:00 Godel / Schwarzenegger joke :-)

As someone said at the Singularity Summit: Jürgen Schmidhuber is the Leonardo da Vinci of our era! Brilliant scientist and artist at the same time. Have you seen his drawing of a self-similar woman at 6:35 of the video? Made from pure mathematics! Blows me away. Also check out his H+ magazine interview "Build An Optimal Scientist, Then Retire" where I posted essentially the same comment a while ago.

Ok, now I see these were just excerpts. It would probably be good to mention that at the beginning of the video :)

Great talk, wish this video didn't have all the choppy edits though :(

Lol.

This guy's awesome and hilarious. He's like a German scientist version of Christopher Walkins.
