I had the chance to walk with Marvin Minsky down a hallway once, and I asked him what he thought of Bayesian reasoning. He said that it seemed to him like it was still part of a general trend away from tackling the central problem in AI. I said I didn&#x27;t think so, but he seemed tired so I didn&#x27;t try to go into detail.<p>There&#x27;s an urban legend that I once got into a fistfight with Marvin Minsky, which does about as well as anything to illustrate the crazy, crazy things that people have been known to believe about me.<p>We have temporarily misplaced a great mind. See you later, Professor Minsky.
