The Singularity, Skynet, and the Future of Computing: Crash Course Computer Science #40

[@crashcourse]

Thank you so so much everyone for watching this series! If you'd like to keep up with Carrie Anne be sure to subscribe to her youtube channel "Geek Gurl Dairies" and follow her on twitter @MissPhilbin. She's doing so much awesome work teaching the world about computer science. If you'd like more great computer science content you should really check out youtube channel "Computerphile". And if you want to try some coding yourself you've gotta try some of the amazing programming courses at Khanacademy.org! I hope to see many of you on our first MATH course, Crash Course Statistics, in January! -brandon

[@cgpirre]

Thank you for you the great series!

[@AlterDieg8]

I CPU later... ;)

[@cosmicwarriorx1]

Couldn't be more pupmed up for stats course... 🤘

[@jameswallis6129]

CrashCourse have you seen the numerous successful perpetual motion machines? Not a lot of people have.

[@chandrahasan3225]

thank you so much and i hope see you in new series about programing languages

[@zackwise1852]

As a software engineer myself, I have to say that this course was fantastic. Everything simply explained, but not in a shallow way. And it remained entertaining even though I already knew most of the content. I even learned a few new things! Thanks to everyone who worked on it!

[@janviiic]

I teared up at the last line 😢 my favorite crash course of all time hands down 👐

[@youtubeaccount0x073]

johnderp I SWEAR!!!!!

[@theblacktiger59]

That whole serie was amazing. With emotion that I watched that last bit. Thanks

[@PaulPaulPaulson]

Quick, everyone invent new computer stuff so there can be more episodes about it!

[@wendten2]

You could just dive deeper into the different rabbit holes briefly explained throughout the series

[@RhizometricReality]

I'd like discussion of digital abstraction

[@TGC40401]

Quantum Annealing, and complete quantum computing?

[@maxziegler6650]

Im a doctor, who watched all fourty episodes of this playlist to increase my knowledge about computers for a possible future medical informatics career opportunity. I was pathetic in this toppic before, but now I understand quite a lot know thanks to your hard work and dedication , thank you so much!

[@WhiteDodoLife]

This is my first time ever writing a public comment but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Carrie Anne for being such an inspiration. The succinct delivery and cheerful undertone throughout this series has made this course easy to follow while preserving the intellectual content behind it all. Most importantly, thanks to Giants like you that give us the drive, courage and inspiration to forge ahead! So thank you again for everything! Next up for me is programming - After this course, I have a much better understanding of the inner workings of computers and their inter-relatedness.

[@johnwojewoda9292]

I really enjoyed this series and it really helped me to better understand computers - I thank you all. Cheers.

[@creepyqueen1523]

As I firstly found this course series about a year ago I was just dead interested in computer science. Watching this course I was so into it that I've started to read many tech books and learn Python programming. Today I'm working as a software engineer (!!!!) in a big company and inspired to make our world better place to live! Thank you, Carrie Anne! And thank you the whole team! It was an amazing journey that changed my life.

[@DeathlyTired]

I very much hope we do CPU later. Carrie Anne has been such a wonderful weekly companion. We will genuinely miss her cheerful blasts of information. A second series? Please! Best Wishes, Ms. Philbin, and thank you.

[@microbuilder]

Sad that this is the final episode, this series has been great...host is fantastic as well. As for AI/the singularity, I cant wait, the possibilities are simply amazing, and will be needed. Unfortunately, I'll be around 70 years old by then...hope I live long enough to see it, and will be able to live longer because of it.

[@mr.alucard8160]

No thanks. It's not natural.

[@wendellallen553]

Mr. Alucard nothing we do today is natural lol??

[@nosuchthing8]

Dracula backwards, nice

[@andraskovacs6403]

Mr. Alucard Mushrooms with deadly poison are natural too.Natural doesn't mean it is automatically good.

[@saltofpetra-4502]

And the world's militaries are spending a fortune to develop War AIs.

[@CMichaelEH]

Thanks so much, Carrie Anne! I hope you have a great holiday season

[@alandouglas2789]

ЛевМЭХ Merry Christmas*

[@youtubeaccount0x073]

Alan Douglas Shut up, everyone doesn’t celebrate Christmas you idiot.

[@gwenythjpw]

So sad that this is the final episode! But thank you so much, Carrie Anne and everyone at Crash Course. You helped me HUGELY this past semester during my first few comp sci classes.

[@이수정-v7i4w]

With Google's translator I've watched all of these series. Thanks to you, my knowledge of computer science has broadened! Thank you for your hard work.

[@grumbotron4597]

This series has made me so happy that I chose Computer Science as a university major. Great series! Here's hoping the singularity is a force for good!

[@eliseerickson5994]

9:20 I was actually so sad knowing this was probably the last time we will get to move up a level of abstraction :(

[@Zviedruvikings]

I can't believe I got emotional realizing this was the last of the series. So interactive, so packed-up, and very clarifying! While watching I contemplated the gravity of work that has been done behind scenes. Million thanks to you, Carrie Anne, for all your energy, geeky jokes and blazing language! Also to CrashCourse and anyone supporting! More of these please!!!

[@AyaMBayomi]

thank you for leading us through this journey Carrie Anne DFTBA

[@anastasiaagrile7352]

Спасибо!

[@themkerich]

As a computer scientist, i'm completely blown away; Wish these kind of resources were available when I was in Uni; would have made it much more easy and enjoyable to learn and understand; You Carry-Anne are a master, truly gifted at the art and science of education.

[@joeliyush7864]

Crash Course you are definitely the best educational You tube channel 👏

[@JWK1101]

This has been my favourite Crash Course series. Thanks Crash Course, and thanks Carrie Anne.

[@ZenPanda2023]

The series has come to an end, not because there's nothing more to discuss, but because there's a lot of things need to be done. The technology that we are having right now is just a small leap. The biggest leap would be when we no longer distinguish what's technology and what's us because we are one. Man and technology becoming one. Thanks to the Crash Course team for the Crash Course Computer Science I enjoy and patiently wait for every week. This will surely teach the next generation to surpass the works of the current and the formers to achieve greater heights for humanity and for the world!

[@williamedwards7400]

Excellent series from an old engineer who lived and help develop some of innovations from assembly to c and control applications for space systems. It has been fun. Computers have a 500 years of development that started with a guy who want to play bells in Florence Italy using rotating drum to play music. Modern version is a spring driven music box it has a drum that rotates and has music programmed on drum. I look forward to more crash courses. Best of luck keep up the good work!

[@angeldude101]

As a computer wizard, I am so excited for the future. I don't think brain-uploading will happen until we have computers at least on par with human brains, but everything else is coming.

[@irhumshafkat389]

The entire series was so incredibly inspiring, I still can't believe it's over 😢. Thank you!

[@jordanf4251]

I'm a computer science major, and when this series came out I was to excited and It was wonderful! It was somewhat sad to watch it end but thank you for making this series.

[@dennissoderberg8079]

I’m an old guy and still have my K&E log log duplex decitrig slide rule. As I see it there is no time to stop learning. Carrie Anne, your presentation was splendid. I watched three courses each morning on my elliptical machine. It’s a little hard to take notes without falling off. Next time I will be behind a desk. Thank you so much! Dennis Soderberg

[@ZamanSiddiqui]

Sad that this series had to come to an end.

[@ijazhussain7477]

I was here to watch only one lecture but could not stop myself from watching the whole course. Thanks to Anne and Crashcourse.

[@hrishikeshpatil6591]

I binged watch the whole course and this was literally my 4 years of comp sci study.!!!

[@CptPatch]

Thank you for this series Carrie Anne. I particularly enjoyed the ground-up philosophy you used to teach it, starting at the physics and showing how to build each next step before "allowing" us to use it as a level of abstraction in later episodes. As somebody who already knew most of the material in the series this was still able to give me a better internal model of some systems I used to skip over as "black boxes" even if I understood the individual components. Thank you very much for your work.

[@feryth]

Sneaky Compie Anne, gaining a new level of abstraction ;)

[@fossilfighters101]

+

[@Antonio-lt1sp]

Best serie of all! Please Carrie Anne, find another interesting topic and come back! You're outstanding!

[@MuppeSixtyFour]

Sad to see this end. Carrie Anne has done a great job, and so have all the support artists behind the scenes. Another excellent 'Crash Course' series. B-)

[@meroovin]

I feel sad that this course has ended. Thank you Carrie-Ann for the amazing lectures. I feel inspired and excited to learn more about computers and the future of humanity.

[@natripie8074]

Thanks a lot for the entire CrashCourse series. It was a pleasure to learn from You!! :)

[@mihaia6699]

Why is it over already? It helped me get better in school and pursue a path in technology 😞❤️ Thank you, carrie anne and the whole crash course team!!!

[@vincenthilla3762]

So far my favourite CrashCourse series! I hope there will be a part two with topics like quantum computing and more information about machine learning!

[@avazbekabdusaidov2186]

It is my first comment on KZbin. I want to express my gratitude towards Crash Course team and for Carrie Anne in particular. Educating people is the most important mission in the world, especially in the field of Computer Science. Thank you for pursuing this mission. This course gave me a huge insight into the computer science and now I am motivated to further my research into CS, virtual reality and AI. You have a subscription of mine)

[@musamustapha2506]

I'm a software engineer, but I found this series really intriguing and fascinating. I still come back to it when I feel hazy and want to brush up my knowledge on certain computing topics

[@Iain.G.D.B]

Thank you Carrie Ann this was an amazing course. I have been in IT for 25 years and this has given me a new passion and drive to understand more.

[@vanillalevertizen9925]

Wowww, I can't believe this series is over! I've been watching this for almost 2 months, sprinkling it as a couple videos a week! I'll miss this series, and won't be watching them in the future anymore, because I'm thinking of getting into CS, myself! :D I'll definitely recommend this series~ Time for a new adventure!!!

[@BaryLevi]

Inarguably the best series ever to come out of Crash Course.

[@leonchen9175]

I kindof burst into tears a bit when she mentioned "thanks for watching" instead of "I'll see you next week", knowing that the series is over. Thanks Carrie Anne for this wonderful learning experience.

[@nicolaslanoux3291]

Incredible series. I learned new things every episode despite already being a software engineer. I would have loved to have discovered this series at the start of my studies. Most of the content is still very relevant even 6 years after (except maybe on the AI part which has evolved a lot since then).

[@Not_mera]

First of all, THANK YOU. Thank you all so much for all this. Because of this amazing show, I have started to pick up JavaScript and I just found out that my dad was quite a good Java programmer. I just have questions for all you wonderful people: 1- Do you know any good places to learn Java? Preferably free, because I'm only young. 2- Is there anywhere that I can learn more about computer science? I'm a very curious lill' girl. 3- Why are you all so great at your jobs? Really, I'm amazed by all the skill you lot have (behind the scenes, I'm especially looking at you). Thank you all again and I wish you all the best for 2018. Sincerely, Mera.

[@usun_development3947]

this is the best intro and overview course for CS ever created. thank you so much.

[@hamiddarzi6759]

Dear Carrie Anne, I just finished your great series. Thank you for your clear and fascinating teaching style. Learnt so much.

[@scottanderson9596]

After watching this series I must say that it’s all magical what a computer is, despite all the science behind it! And in this episode when you talk about people dying in the flesh and their conscience being uploaded reminds me of the 1st Robo Cop.... the future! Great videos, loved the pictures to illustrate what you were talking about and the history of the 1st computer the size of rooms, awesome work!!

[@alvarofuentes7699]

You will be missed Carrie Anne. Thank you for a wonderful series to all the CrashCourse Team.

[@Logined85]

Carrie-Ann, please conduct us the new crash course on something, as you are fantastic! Thanks for all those 40 episodes of pure goodness!

[@nilufer6773]

This series was so helpful! I didn't know anything about computer science till i watched this series from the beginning to the very end. Thank you Carrie Anne, you were so sweet!

[@MrAnuit]

WHAT A WONDERFUL JOURNEY THANKS Carrie ANNE

[@limitless1692]

I was worth it Watching all 40 episodes Probably I will rewatch the whole thing in the future... 😊Thank You😊

[@IngLauraDuarte]

Thank you so so much Carrie Anne! I really enjoyed this CC. I hope you have a great holiday season and DFTBA!!!

[@emanuelkokovics]

It is a very well structured course, offering a lot of information and insight about computers and technology, I really enjoyed it. I hope to see more lectures done by Carrie Anne, she is amazing !!!

[@cosmicwarriorx1]

What a splendid and marvelous series it was...!! The one amongst few which I have followed religiously ( CC Phylosophy being the first). Ms Carrie Anne has done tremendous job of keeping us hooked with her witty and entertaining teaching style... Literally it was heck of a fun ride for last 9 months or so which I am going to miss for sure. Thank you so much Ms Anne, creators and the whole CC team. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@murtazaalam2725]

I gotta say, this course was one the best I have ever come across, thanks to Carrie Anne, and the makers. It's just great how beautifully you have managed the series, putting together the concepts, so that everything made sense. The why and how of every new technology that came up just fired me, to dig more into it. Not to say, you just gained a permanent follower, eagerly waiting for your next content. 😉

[@ronaguimalan]

Just finished watching this crash course comsci! This series is really helpful to me and I've learned a lot! Thank you!

[@kbrizy7490]

Nuts. Epic course. I’m a mechanical engineer, and while I love and enjoy it, comp sci really is the wizardry of now and the future. So much was put into perspective for me in this course. So much clicked into place that I really think I want to try my hand at it now - as an almost 30 year old 😅.

[@pfimpel]

Thank you for that truely awesome video-series! This channel is is solid gold!

[@cedarbobedar7223]

Awesome job Carrie Anne! That was a wonderful Crash Course! Thank-you!

[@belyidaniil]

Thank you, Crash Course & Carrie Anne for an amazing course!

[@maneshkumar6831]

This is one of the best crash courses on computer science.I Loved it. Big thanks to Carrie Anne and the whole team who worked hard to make this possible. Thank you so much guys.

[@arkadeepmitra3429]

This reignited my love for CS. Thank you so much! Much love, Arka.

[@joshmerrell5359]

Thanks!

[@zavi3rz]

Thank you very much Carrie Anne, for this wonderful journey through one of humanity's greatest invention in history.

[@rimpuks699]

Loved the series. Great job Carrie & Co.

[@ishanvyas1990]

This series on AI was amazing ! But the final episode was so much of an eye opener! Please keep up with the abstraction!!

[@starryk79]

Thank you Carie-Anne for teaching us so much in such a great way with simple examples that made the principles clear. The combination of spoken text with simple graphic animations is really perfect for learning. I work as a software developer but still i knew very little about many topics you explained so fantastically in this course. Many questions i asked myself were answered and even some i never thought about before. If that will help me to become a better software developer remains to be seen but it definitey was great to learn about it.

[@ride6tnine]

I was honoured to be gifted this series! Thank you!

[@WoyeurBoy]

This will seem lame but I totally started crying upon starting this last video. I love Comptuer Science (especially so having a background in Philosophy). My entire adult life -now 27- I have had questions about the ins and outs of the computer world but have been left frustrated by the lack of reliable and clear answers. Thanks to this program, I now see the light! I owe you an immense debt of gratitude. This planet owes you an immense debt of gratitude. Oh yeah, the crying bit.. I cried because I was struck with a deep feeling I'd never recognized before; a toxic belief. I was convinced that I had been abandoned or perhaps, counted out in my pursuit of CS. I'm too poor to go bootstrap a basic CS degree and having just started a family I certainly didn't feel I'd have time to catch up. I cried because your team didn't just dabble in the subject but followed it through to a responsible end. Even as viewer count declined over the course of the series you finished a good work and allowed guys like me to catch up. It felt like you did it for me, from compassion, and it moved me deeply. I'll close by scaling my love letter up just one more layer of abstraction: XOXO TYSM WD

[@Travisharger]

😭😭😭 my fav series yet. Super well produced

[@aaronmcdaniel7768]

What an inspiring episode. You pretty much summarized why I decided to study computer science. Thanks for the great series!

[@jackmark4815]

Thanks for workers of CrashCourse.

[@homemadejam2927]

Well done everyone, especially Carrie Anne - great course. It has certainly given me a lot of knowledge about computers and related subjects.

[@9656311]

Thank you so much! This was amazing, I am a programmer and this course made me appreciate my job and be more interested in it on a bit deeper level.

[@berasnevichuladzislau6088]

Thank you Carrie Anne for this incredible course! 😃

[@miklos.]

From : "The series is ending" to "There's so much we didn't talk about!" --- Sounds like funding dried up. Season 2 please!

[@FalbertForester]

Which is perfectly normal - something like this gets X dollars in funding, and at a cost of Y dollars per episode, you get X / Y = Z episodes. Crash Course Literature is having a go at another set of episodes, so we might yet see 'More Topics in Computing'.

[@manuelpacheco5446]

Wow! I wish I had seen these videos when they first came out. OUTSTANDING! Each video presented just right and to the point. Manny from Puerto Rico

[@NeonThoughtBox]

Ugh, bittersweet. This was my favorite series so far. Can haz more plz!?

[@AlexWindsor]

Really enjoyed this series and will watch many of them over again - nice one!

[@j0a0m4]

Thank you, Carrie Anne and team! This crash course changed my life... I'll be pursuing a career in IT, thanks for making such a complex and interesting topic accessible and fun.

[@fproulx]

Great series. Really enjoyed it. The host is fantastic and passionate. Looking forward to a follow-up covering other topics.

[@eduardoalvarez8871]

Great Crash Course series. It definitely encouraged me to start learning programming this past school semester.

[@JungledG]

Wow can't believe it's the end. Loved the show. Thanks to everyone involved

[@justicar347]

I watch crashcourse for my personal education. I liked learning the history of computing and developing at least a basic idea of how computers work. However, I took a particular interest in the last few episodes because I've been growing interested in cyberpunk and have been planning a cyberpunk novel. I think this will be helpful. Great course.

[@pejko89]

Thank you for this course. I'm a self-taught junior developer and I find it very useful!

[@PalladiumAlchemist]

"It's not live we've become benevolent caretakers of ants." You, my friend, have never seen AntsCanada's channel.

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

PalladiumAlchemist I know what that channel is...

[@PalladiumAlchemist]

Ganaram Inukshuk Ayeeee 👉👉

[@firesong7825]

Also, we weren't built to be benevolent caretakers of ants. Robots would be built for us by us.

[@itswarhawk]

That dude has some serious issues

[@garbagecan4017]

Carrie Anne is a big ol jar of awesome sauce. Can she host another series? I don't even care what it's about. I'd watch it. (coming from a person who isn't friends with technology and yet binged watched this entire thing.)

[@MaxFontaOFFICIEL]

Amazing course! All 40 episodes. Thanks a zillion :)

[@mf-mi7es]

I have completed the series! Sad to only see 633 comments. Very useful overview of main concepts! Definitely one of the most useful courses on CS I have seen so far! Thanks CrashCourse!

[@hotsauce3708]

We are so lucky to be alive during these times. Very interesting future awaits us all!

[@nutboy93]

Hot Sauce I honestly wish I was born about 50 years from now, I don’t want to be an old man when all the cool stuff come out :/

[@cuddledog142]

Thank you so much for this series! I've been watching it over the last month and have truly loved every episode, genuinely looking forward to watching it each morning. I've learned so much from this and it's inspired me to persue further studies focusing on AI and Machine Learning. Once again, I truly thank you for this series!

[@mirageleung]

Carrie Anne and the whole Crash Course team, thank you so much, well done and keep up the phenomenal work. You've put together a marvelous course and have taken some of the most abstract topics and made them easy to understand!

[@magica2z]

Thank you very much Carrie Anne for this great course. You are awesome with explaining things.. best computer science videos ever..

[@georgeisfullyamazing]

BEST SERIES SO GOOD LOVED IT SO MUCH GUNNA MISS IT 😩🚀

[@virtuosisimo]

you should do a continuation on this about Data structures and algorithms

[@randomber4622]

This is so awesome!! Thanks Crash Course, Carrie Ann, the Green Brothers & everyone else on the team!
