When I saw the title I thought the video was going to be about Terry Winograd's SHRDLU natural language understanding program https://hci.stanford.edu/winograd/shrdlu/ https://hci.stanford.edu/winograd/shrdlu/
Then I was wondering if there were any videos about the SHRDLU program. There is one very poor quality screen capture video on youtube showing SHRDLU in operation. I stumbled on another fairly short video (2:13) of Terry Winograd discussing his career as a technologist working in AI. I think it's an interesting alternate view of technology and its effect on people. The video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW5la8ZZJCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW5la8ZZJCE
- inetsee 6y agoJust a little more context. Terry Winograd was Larry Page's advisor at Stanford, and, although I can't be sure, I think that Winograd may have had some influence on Google's early "Don't Be Evil" stance.
- dang 6y agoSHRDLU, sans Etaoin, has been discussed on HN too: 2017 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14351485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14351485 2014 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8219409 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8219409 ... though maybe not as much as one might have expected.
