I wonder if many of the people so acidly contemptuous of Peterson have ever bothered to actually read what he actually writes, or just viscerally react to the hot take media coverage. He's eminently reasonable, not an alt-right troll like Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro.
- espeed 8y agoPeterson was a Harvard professor from 1993–1998 so he was there at the time this paper was being written. Now that he's at Toronto, I'm curious to know how much interaction he has with Geoffrey Hinton. He's made references to research related to the AI embodiment problem, and one of his business partners is Daniel Higgins who was at MIT.
