Reply to [D] If you had to pick 10-20 significant papers that summarize the research trajectory of AI from the past 100 years what would they be by versaceblues

I would throw in some dead ends along the way as they very much altered the trajectory. LISP was the be all and end all in "AI" for quite some time as an example.

Many of the things being mentioned in these comments are how we got to where we are, but lots of time was spent on now dead evolutionary branches. Not a whole lot of practical progress in the 80s. I remember chatting with "AI" researchers in the 80s and they were on and on about Hebbian Synapses.

Reply to LPT: try giving away your “trash”. Construction materials, furniture, and bulky items likely have value to someone else by 69stangrestomod

When I was in school years ago our neighbour was making a new fence, then a deck, then they reshingled the side of their house removing most of the old untreated shingles.

We were renting a house and we burned that scrap stuff for half the winter saving a massive amount on our energy bill.
