  This is a Q&A excerpt on the topic of AI from a lecture by Richard Feynman from September 26th, 1985. I found it very interesting and hope you do as well. Watch the full lecture in the description. Subscribe to this channel for more clips.

  Richard Feynman was born in a world where horses were still the most common mode of transportation in cities and here is he, telling about AI concepts we are still struggling to apply today. Also, he was one of the greatest theoretical physicist in history.

  I like the fact that he's brilliant but talks like a 70s NYC cab driver.

  It is amazing he has explained how today’s AI (ChatGPT and others) work and also their weaknesses with two questions in 1985. &nbsp;Today, we need him more than anyone else

  The thing that consistently blows me away, every time I hear him discuss something, is not necessarily his opinions on the matter, or his logic, but how he structures a response. How he makes a case.

  everytime i&apos;ve ever heard Feynman speak about anything, I&apos;m left with such a good feeling. a smile. a heightened curiosity. a satisfaction. and a motivation to continue

  I live in Bangladesh and because of the crappy education system here I&apos;m stuck with studying business studies. I didn&apos;t have physics or chemistry in school level but I love physics and Feynman has been a big part of that. His lectures on physics have been a great respite from my pointless and ultimately futile existence. I left my job to study physics by myself and have gotten derailed. But every time I listen to this man talk, I am enamored to pick up a physics or a math book and bang my head against that wall as hard as I can.<br><br>I hope someday I get to be a physicist of any caliber, even if it means I have to starve to death. Thank you, Mr Feynman, for being the light I wish to touch someday.

  Feynman is like that teacher that you feel so comfortable around that you dont want to leave. usually i have so many questions, but i love hearing his voice and soaking it all in

  &quot;The necessary weaknesses of intelligence.&quot; &nbsp;<br>Even his throw-away observations and quips can be pure timeless genius.<br>Thanks for sharing.
