In 1955, John McCarthy, the young sweater and glasses wearin soon to be MIT

mathematical researcher, PhD in mathematics having current Dartmouth's assistant

professor, future Stanford professor, future wizard-looking mother fucker, and

one of the early minds behind the very internet itself organized the first

conference of artificial intelligence. A term he coined. John wanted to explore

ways to make a machine that could reason like a human was capable of abstract

thought, problem solving, and self-improvement. He believed that every aspect of

learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so

precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. Those are his words.

He also thought artificial intelligence would rival or even surpass human

intelligence somewhere between five and five hundred years before passing away

in 2011. And maybe just maybe like most dudes when it comes to AI on some

level, he wanted a sweet, sweet sex robot. Probably find out how close we are or

not to achieving John's futuristic vision of living with humanoid robots in

this definitely sci-fi possibly dystopian, maybe even a little bit perverted

sonic adventure that is today's time suck.

Very excited about today's topic topic topic. I'm so excited I can't even say the

word topic. It was suggested to me by Jeremy Judd via Facebook. Thank you Jeremy.

I've wasted several days of my life and I hope you are better for it sucked into

this thing because man I had no idea how much shit was out there and I didn't

have the tip of the iceberg with this. I feel like some of you hopefully many of

you are going to be doing even more research yourselves digging deep on this
