The brain behind MarI/O: Ken Stanley

[@pdlbackup]

I remember seeing MarI/O years ago, it was probably the first time I ever heard about neural networks. Really cool to see how much the world has changed since then.

[@niceleverace]

Same dude

[@Zyntho]

That video must've inspired so many to become computer engineers.

[@pvic6959]

i remember seeing it be uploaded.. i was in highschool. it was super cool to me. i did end up pursuing compsci

[@Pygochelidon]

Same!

[@sprshb1852]

I remember watching this in Middle School, this video definitely made me interested in taking Comp Sci in college.

[@Konomi_io]

oh my god, i remember watching the original videos when i was like 10

[@Willty64]

so true Konomi

[@Konomi_io]

@@Willty64 thank you for the reply, Willty

[@pvic6959]

SAMEEE we're probably about the same age haha

[@theodorechiou2886]

oh my god, i was 10 in 2015

[@crikhard]

Ken is the one thanking sethbling for the opportunity?? Huge mutual respect going on here

[@abj136]

Ken is promoting his social network. Seth is advertising it for free. Of course he’s thanking Seth.

[@crikhard]

@@abj136 Well yea but he also just said that it was for the opportunity to speak with Seth, maybe just said so the advertising isnt super blatant but idk

[@Mogeli]

Now you see I don't really appreciate Seth telling lies at the beginning of the video. There is no chance Mar IO was released 10 years ago, as that would make me like really old

[@fightme5543]

I agree

[@lorrgr]

😂

[@quantumsauce4348]

I was 12 years old 🧓

[@wsams]

It really makes me feel old to have heard more than one generation of kids saying this. 😂

[@CoClock]

😂😂

[@Maker0824]

This was my first intro to evolutionary systems. I now love simulated evolutionary systems

[@zacharynovak2180]

Very appropriate pfp

[@Shrooblord]

@@zacharynovak2180 fr! And I just got back into SPORE literally last night, too. That's a funny koinkidink innit!

[@Newt2799]

Super interesting to hear Ken Stanley’s perspective on machine learning given how prevalent and important it has become today, especially here on KZbin.

[@stan4795]

Man saw the original video when I was 9 thought it was the coolest thing in the world now I'm studying machine learning in uni crazy how time flies

[@DrakiniteOfficial]

This was the most captivating, interesting, and inspiring sponsor segment I've ever listened to, lol. What Ken said really shows just how passionate he is about this stuff.

[@metashrew]

MarI/O was my first exposure to neural networks and i frequently thought about that video when seeing new advancements in AI. really cool interview!

[@ToroidalFoxCasual]

MarI/O into Elon Musk is weird twist lol.

[@c2games592]

Some of the most amazing projects online that we see on popular social sites like reddit, twitter or tiktok come from communities on each interconnecting, which perfectly proves the idea of serendipitous connection.

[@Dracstar]

Looking forward to watching this. Thanks for still posting Seth 😎

[@invertedmind8937]

shoutouts to Luigi/o

[@TheApoke]

Welcome back, tanbling here

[@malirk]

Awesome update and new information! I regularly share the original video with people trying to understand neural nets! (That and the Mario Kart video)

[@MCSteve_]

Can’t help but think how many meta levels of serendipity this whole video has lol. Really demonstrative of discovery and impact. Amazingly insightful interview. Never expected this video format here but very welcomed.

[@Umfyq]

Incredibly insightful talk from your guest, it got me totally hooked in

[@braedenL29221]

I came for the sethbling outro and left having reinstalled social media

[@Moms_Spaghetti]

That video definitely was my first big exposure to neural networks and even AI and now I'm studying computer science!

[@ianmoore5502]

Wow. This video is just an hour of pure brilliance.

[@Zorgot.]

bro i almost forgot about MarI/O, feels almost nostalgic watching your streams of this just running and having smooth mcgroove on in the background

[@gilesja1]

I’m glad to see Seth is back back

[@TheBuzzati]

I'm super excited for Maven! I love Ken's vision. Just signed up

[@first-thoughtgiver-of-will2456]

you can quantify your research as exploration vs exploitation. understanding deliberate creativity in problem solving is very insightful to innovation.

[@sanderbos4243]

Amazing interview, I feel like I've learnt so much from it

[@a.s.3904]

I still have MarI/O and run it from time to time. Most recently was about 6 months ago. I'm gonna pull that bad boy back out again!

[@VinegarPotato]

40:00 this part right here makes me excited to try out maven more.

[@Creep_8008]

Hearing 10 years later, the fact that the NEAT paper is from 2002 is crazy ngl

[@mynameismatt2010]

Mari/o was my first glimpse of the AI future we will have. Since I first saw it I’ve stayed up to date with cutting edge AI and seen the industry grow.

[@guzkus1]

SethBling Podcast?!

[@MadCat_G]

what an interesting mind and what an interesting approach to finding genuine conversation

[@marugabrielbaul8432]

NO WAY Ken the OG himself on SethBling haha. I chose my first undergraduate thesis topic to be NEAT because of the original MarI/O video haha.

[@avakining]

10:15 yeah good call on that 😬

[@1088lol]

i hope angry birds doesnt sue and your minigame catches on big time $$$

[@__angle]

Thank you so much !🥰

[@XRatedPoetry]

Self Driving cars may have actually worked if they got Seth 😂

[@sedthh]

wow the part around 23:00 changed me

[@gbk3]

Ken's a super cool guy

[@rav3nston3]

this maven thing sounds an awful lot like tumblr if it was controlled by an ai instead of by the user, maybe tumblr is the social media of the future... like 14 years ago?

[@sgtmuffinz5564]

I got same vibes

[@Archer690Channel]

it reminds me of gnu social but without instances

[@omegahaxors9-11]

History has shown time and time again that when you take power out of the user and put it in the platform, they always abuse it to push right-wing propaganda while suppressing genuine views they find unfavorable, usually left-leaning voices.

[@justincruz8050]

Wow this is actually so interesting

[@NoVIcE_Source]

i have no idea what this channel is but i see minecraft redstone and im instantly intrigued

[@Rainbro359]

Maybe Tesla's self driving functionality would actually be functional if they had hired Seth :)

[@desert123100]

works just fine for me

[@DanielWillen]

That video was 10 years ago?!

[@JorgetePanete]

Counterargument to engagement implying interest in topic: one could simply chase topics that it doesn't like just to hate on them

[@dykam]

Even less intentionally, engagement is very high with controversial or negative content.

[@icicleditor]

This also signal-boosts bigots, which need to be moderated or they will make the platform utterly uninhabitable for many, many people

[@Harmxn]

Literally just saw the 9 year old video in class right now

[@dashiefiles]

There’s no way I was 10 years old when I watched that old video

[@hoteny]

oh wow back to this

[@JackTraits]

Even though I didn't understand most of it, I enjoyed it nonetheless.

[@Xhernuii]

We miss you

[@DeconvertedMan]

Neat!

[@cutmasta-kun]

Interesting Video! Is there an API for maven?

[@phreeesubz]

*The Lock Picking Lawyer, SethBling, and Mark ZuckerBerg are the same person!*

[@beaverbuoy3011]

Amazing!

[@CoClock]

It seems like Maven is the Holy version of 4Chan. I mean I’m very interested in trying it out based on the background information the founder gave on it.

[@MrAlex3461]

I didn't get notified of this >:(

[@Nathan55411]

MarI/O was literally the first time I'd heard of machine learning

[@JorgetePanete]

30:39 I got scared even more so knowing I'm on Android

[@art0007i]

Honestly maven kind of reminds me of image boards such as 4chan. They also don't have any quality metrics, and are also capable of having long discussions too

[@harry1010]

OMIGOSH KENNETH STANLEY!!! Also did HyperNEAT!!!

[@niccster1061]

I remember seeing this in middle school and trying to write my own perceptron in java. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Kubalopl]

the more you fuck around the more you find out

[@omegahaxors9-11]

Cool idea, make it run on activitypub.

[@PedroContipelli2]

Goodhart's Law

[@Alex_dlc]

Omg MarI/O was 8 years ago?

[@yanwittmann]

Maven as in the package manager?

[@whtiequillBj]

have you thought of presenting this to cognitive psychologists, as well as behavioral developmental therapists?

[@Thundereus]

Multiple compliments: "OMG, you are the best, you inspired millions of people, you made this thing great" Response: "Yeaaa"

[@treydelbonis4028]

rhode island mentioned!

[@thestralner6335]

very interesting

[@Schmogel92]

Maven sounds like the perfect breeding ground for an AI to learn to pretend to be human 😁

[@wizardkashy3133]

OH MY GOSH

[@Gunbudder]

thank god you avoided working on self driving for Tesla. the burnout rate for them is outrageous

[@kxjab]

NEAT might be good at Mario, but NEETs will always be better. xD

[@thinkotron]

Is this the same Seth that was exposed by bolty

[@kornsuwin]

holy hell

[@SteveSteve7590-di2dn]

Dude just explained Daoism in AI terms

[@sethstinson1341]

No way was bro building games with AI neural networks 10 years ago.

[@nolol9907]

I feel odd about this, this is really interesting... however i feel obligated to ignore it because it is just an ad

[@6rsk1]

why did i watch the whole entire thing?

[@r.f.mineguy7715]

Because your attention span isn’t ruined and you probably agree that there are huge problems of modern social platforms!

[@lukeeIRL]

Ken gives me willem dafoe green goblin vibes

[@kidkid]

Cool

[@xant8344]

Now apply this logic to capitalism and you have an explanation for the biggest world problems
