Uh i i should have asked marvin why he he and seymour pappet came down so hard on neural networks in 1968 in their book perceptrons.
The best things said about it
He's the guy who co-authored the book perceptron with Marvin Minsky that kind of killed the first wave.
Lex Fridman Lex Fridman Podcast · Aug 2019 Why people recommend it
Perceptrons by Marvin Lee Minsky and Seymour Papert is a foundational academic text in artificial intelligence that analyzed the mathematical limitations of early neural networks. Rodney Brooks appeared on the Lex Fridman Podcast in September 2021 to discuss the trajectory of robotics and machine learning. During the conversation, Brooks reflected on the historical impact of the publication, noting that he wished he had asked Minsky why he and Papert came down so critically hard on neural networks in their 1968 book. Similarly, Lex Fridman discussed the significance of the work during an August 2019 podcast episode featuring Yann LeCun. Fridman pointed out that Seymour Papert co-authored the text alongside Marvin Minsky, and that the publication effectively hindered the progress of neural network research by initiating a prolonged downturn in the field often referred to as an AI winter. Both discussions emphasized how this single theoretical critique fundamentally altered decades of computer science research and shaped the subsequent development path of artificial intelligence technologies.
