>Later, I took a much smaller grad class with Prof Winston that had maybe 15 people in it. We spent half the time reading and discussing great AI papers.
Is by any chance this recorded anywhere? I loved his AI class (MIT 6.034). He was one of my favorite teachers too. (Though OCW on my end.)
Oh gosh this looks way better than I thought it would be, but that's Winston for you. I dearly miss him, and am not a fan of the new MIT Data Science classes. (I work as a Data Scientist.) It feels like the philosophy and fun has been dried out into a terse brick of knowledge, making modern MIT more like the universities that copy it, instead of something fun and exciting.
I'm seeing if I can create an ad hock study group where we'll read the published articles and come up with our own conclusions. Sadly, it will not be the same, but I'm a big fan of Hofstadter and exploration of human consciousness, so I'll do my best to filling the shoes of a giant.
