Harvard Professor Explains Algorithms in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED
Video Overview & Insights
From the physical world to the virtual world, algorithms are seemingly everywhere. David J. Malan, Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, has been challenged to explain the science of algorithms to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.
Algorithm is a military weapon for targetting and manipulating individuals resulting in radicalisation.
Algorithm is a WEAPON deployed for targetted mind control. Religious movements and government agencies can use algorithm to coercively control and subvert people on a very personal level.
I would bet serious money that all the terrorists and school shooters we have seen in the last few years were subjected to subversive content on line via their smart phones.
I notice shifts in my algorithm daily. Yesterday I got Christian and biblical messaging.
Today i am getting videos about communism, Pol Pot and Japanese concentration camps an general acts of evil.
I am 100% being targetted by algorithm by some UK authority or institution.
Correction: Our Level 2 teen, Lexi Kemmer, is actually 17-years-old.

this man really hates phone book 😂

Guests:
The first girl is literally telling CS professor what algorithm is, while I as 6yr old was eating my boogers and pulling the cats tail yet another time
Level 1: Addison Vincent
Level 2: Lexi Kemmer
here we go ali
Level 3: Patricia Guirao
Level 4: Mahi Shafiullah
Basic Solar System exploration related activities is one of the critical world's life oyster and it is my life oyster too, but no one seems to be intrested in supporting me here. 🚀
Level 5: Chris Wiggins
Creative Producer: Maya Dangerfield
this is so cute
Line Producer: Joseph Buscemi
Associate Producer: Paul Gulyas; Kameryn Hamilton
This was very informative, appreciate it.
Production Manager: D. Eric Martinez
Production Coordinator: Fernando Davila
The way he took the teen through the binary search algorithm is just out of this world level of teaching oh my God I'm so impressed.
Casting Producer: Vanessas Brown; Nicholas Sawyer
Camera Operator: Brittany Berger
I thought that the explanation would be too technical for a child to understand and just go past the child's head but I was proven wrong. It's amazing how she could keep up. she seemed genuinely interested and she even gave the correct definition of an algorithm!
Gaffer: Gautam Kadian
Sound Mixer: Lily Van Leeuwen
As fact he is great professor ❤

Why don't we pause and reverse engineer back to where we don't know how it does what it does? I mean of course some people can't live without Bugattis, 150ft boats and enough cocaine to induce psychosis

in respect to the data scientist in the last interview, crazy how outdated something can appear in just two years these days...... take cover AGI is coming to a cinema near you

hmm...first time i watched one of these things i understand everything there talking about beyond the phd level. i luv the Ai era

how can just some numbers exit in live , and could have real output .
@DeminSidi-h9fThe first interaction with that 6 year old kid was like HYDROZEN BOMB VS CAUGHING BABY
@ClipLaxerlol he does the same phonebook explanation in CS50
@lanerjGreat video
@landoncontrols1106Great job, this video was very useful!
@DywhFsaGreat tips, thanks for sharing!
@ChangSeaversDavid büyük adamsın David
@emireleven11The first girl explains algorithms for David 😅 not the opposite.
@AMRÖ-i5zgood im just going to see the Child level part 🤣🤣 no shame no shame
@jihaepark_1My best CS lecturer❤❤❤❤.
I stated learning programming form him before entering University.
Throughout my computer science course this professor was like my last resort. He is the best.
@James_networkguruafter watching the kid everyone else felt like utter disappointment
@ARYVIKING0:54 lost u there
@otakurishitkumar4522As a CS Teacher: This Kid knows more about Algorithms than my average 16 year old student.
@derzenzI want to talk like the 6 years old....😄
@VanesaGallegoDuring the teen portion his explanation on how binary search works is top notch. The one downside to a binary search is of course assuming our data set is sorted
@126644Love this vid, David j malan wished he still taught at Harvard
@GaryVeeClipzWow 🤯 nice 👍 video 😍📸❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@Surinder-gz7ugThank u Mr.David
@Vihanga_ManujeewaHar bokachoda, kata choda ka video tha nia6a. 😢
@painpeace3619I like to see how do you explain it to a toddler 😅
@painpeace3619CS50 crowd where you at?
@tomahmed6bro im sure little girl was reincarnated probablythe soul of grace hopper she handles it perfectly smooth like peanut butter
@johndoe-g6fthe first 4 was no more knowledgeable than my 10 year old niece. the data scientist didnt say anothing. he probably knows alot, but he didnt share that knowledge in this interview, and they ended up just talking shallowly about some paphlet level way of explaining what its used for organizationally in less than 30 seconds, then continue to do so with AI. This did not cover at all what data algorithms is about. Even a 1 second wikisearch yields a better result.. 😕
@snyggmikaeloh that's a really cool way to explain a binary search!
@pgplaysvidyaThat's nice , but how does the algorythm understand words meanings, context, language, punctuation?
@fibetyjibetsDude, you do NOT know how to make things simple for a little child.
@fibetyjibetsAn algorithm brought me here
@TimeMuffin_81This guy literally only thinks algorithms are for sorting things? That's the only topic he brought up. Even when talking about chat gbt. "If I give chat gbt 50 words and tell it to sort them" hahah
