This article goes off the rails when it conflates fuzzy set theory with connectionism, and then goes over the cliff when it starts talking about ethics without reference to any of the underlying philosophical theories of ethical reasoning under risk and uncertainty — at least a nod to Nozick would have been appreciated. (The idea that probabilistic set theory somehow destroys ethical certainty is nonsense that doesn’t need to be addressed.) The author, I think, may be a bit out of his field; his PhD is coming out of UCLA’s college of library science, so he’s opining on technology and philosophy without coming out of either discipline.
