This video was my first exposure to neural networks when I was in high school. Now I’m a machine learning engineer at Google.

[@alanbecker]

That is downright fascinating. Makes me wish I went into programming.

[@Bromon655]

This video got me interested in neural networks for the first time. Now, I am living in my mom's basement having accomplished zero with my life since that point. My family says I am becoming a burden on them. Thanks SethBling!

[@BlueAntiBlue]

This video got me interested in neutral networks many years ago, and now I'm a software manager running one of the most AI centric teams at one of Europes largest companies! Thanks Sethbling!

Then one day Mario became aware he existed… that day was known as judgment day

[@Kevinofrepublic]

I like how the fittest generation figured out spin jumping is the safest option because it kills most things it lands on or touches. Good job skynet

[@henrysteven137]

this video is what got me interested in neural networks. from here I started reading further into it, got intimidated, and gave up on the spot.

[@raphaelcardoso7927]

This video got me into neural networks. Today I'm a PhD candidate on neuromorphic hardware. Thanks SethBling!

First Super Mario World

[@marmoripelaao9830]

That's pretty NEAT

[@franarteaga6355]

A year ago I used this video to explain to my class what artificial intelligence was (or something like that, I don't remember) since I live in Mexico I had to translate and explain everything. Thanks for the video :) I learned, my classmates were entertained and I gave my teacher a good impression

[@arm9180]

This was everyone's inspiration for learning ML

[@mas8705]

Today: Mario stage.

[@AntVenom]

Absolutely amazing! I love how you explained this!

[@kishpawar]

Revisiting this video today. This the video that got me into AI. I'm a Deep Learning Engineer today. Thanks, SethBling. Cheers!

[@smellthel]

This used to blow my mind. Now, these are everywhere and more advanced than ever. Technology has improves so fast I can’t believe it.

[@Userjdanon]

I started studying computer science 2015. I really never knew much about computer science. I started in the first semester with a programming course and came across this video and I was fascinated by this! Now in the last semester, I am writing my bachelorthesis in neural networks!

"What if you used 100% of your brain at once?"

[@kacywatson6314]

Let’s see if Mar/IO can complete the full game Live on KZbin.

[@Pixelcraftian]

SethBling will make a sentient being using Mario World code injection lol, this whole stuff is super amazing, love it :D
