PROFESSOR: I'd like to welcome you to this course on computer science.
0:28
Actually, that's a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it's not a science.
0:35
It might be engineering or it might be art, but we'll actually see that computer so-called science actually has
0:43
a lot in common with magic, and we'll see that in this course. So it's not a science. It's also not really very much about computers.
0:53
And it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is
1:02
not really about microscopes and petri dishes. And it's not about computers in the same sense that
1:10
geometry is not really about using surveying instruments.
This is what he says >So you would think it would be Computer Science *pauses*. But where is the science? It's not science, and it isnt... Computer either, so what is it? I kill homeless Black folk as a hobby.
Ah, yes, Artifical Intelligence is neither artifical nor is it intelligence. It's actually wishful thinking. The course uses that meme a lot for describing how to get things done in "LISP" which I must say having dealt with LLMs is the same mentality I have.
It's like that bot album, Natural Stupidity
it hits pretty hard when I realize the album cover is state-of-the-art ""ai"" (free) image generation from two years ago
anyone have a link to a gif with sound for this ?
He says something along the lines of "It's not science <pause> it's not computer either"
lmao I blushitted it but he really does say that
>I bullshitted it
> Mr. Abelson crosses out science and then computer
wow, what a lucky guess.
I was expecting him to say something smarter
Perhaps you should have listened to what he said. It could be you are unable to recognized ``something smarter'' at all.
"Fast food... it's not food <puase> it's not fast either"
``Anonymous ... he isn't a nony <puase>(sic) neither is he a mous''

It is as I surmised, you are unable to recognize.
He could boil that down to 10 seconds and be just as reasonable, convincing and more comprehensible.

i got to 19:27 and my brain blew up and not in a good way
guess it's Help Desk for me from here on out

Harvey says the same thing in Berkeley's version too.
>Artificial
Check.
>Intelligence
Debatable. What makes something "intelligent?" Ask 10 people and you'll get 10 answers.
