This specific event is in regards to an overarching research about MIT's AI Lab history and particulary the feud between Marvin Minsky and Joseph Weizenbaum.

I originally read about the event in Daniel Crevier's book covering that overall MIT history, full PDF available at this link:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Daniel-Crevier/publicat...

At the latter half of the pdf page 155.

The read itself has been very insightful, and by extent I do hope to one day read Weizenbaum's book "Computer Power and Human Reason".

I've been covering the topic in an essay but wanted to share these links here as appreciation for finding this forum site at all.

By extent I also wonder if anyone might have any more information I could dig into as the link in the title is as deep as I could get for this specific event.
