I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe Sussman replied. Why is the net wired randomly? , asked Minsky. I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play , Sussman said. Minsky then shut his eyes. Why do you close your eyes? , Sussman asked his teacher. So that the room will be empty. At that moment, Sussman was enlightened. Drescher and the toaster A disciple of another sect once came to Drescher as he was eating his morning meal.
