…ing this research, Hillis received a PhD in EECS from MIT under doctoral advisers Gerald Jay Sussman, Marvin Minsky and Claude Shannon. Hillis co-founded Thinking Machines Corporation in 1983 while doing his doctoral work at MIT. The company was to develop Hillis’ Connection Mach...

…John R. Pierce suggested in the 1981 revision of his book that made the theorems of the father of communication theory, Claude Shannon, so accessible, “_..If we want to understand information-related entropies, it is perhaps best to clear our minds of any (physical) ideas associ...

…ersus Human “I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines.” Claude Shannon “The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim.” Edgar Dijkstra HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015693

…s do not. * ‘The process of understanding and communication is complex, much more complex than the digital theorems of Claude Shannon and Harry Nyquist. « Understanding is hard. « The communication of understanding is even harder. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015687

… “artificial intelligence,” computer scientist John McCarthy and his colleagues Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon conjectured that “every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be...

…characterization, quantification and measurement. To get to the end from close to the beginning, we recall that it was Claude Shannon and his followers who both mathematically proved and experimentally verified that a receiver must have more entropy, less already fixed knowledge...

…. A potted history of the mid-20th-century revolution that gave the world the computational theory of mind might credit Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver for explaining knowledge and communication in terms of information. It might credit Alan Turing and John von Neumann for explai...

…, still, even quiet with the silently cranking algorithms of massively concentrated power. The computer science pioneer Claude Shannon saw information in 1949 as wild, uncertain, and pulsing with the instability of an entropic system. Yang. The machine architect Norbert Weiner, w...
