Great article. I haven't had time to read the whole thing, but I disagree with the characterization of Jaron Lanier as an artist who can't speak technically (as the author of this article surmises from a choice quotation). Mr. Lanier is a rather gifted hacker.

I think I was a bit too incensed at the particular argument of his I was focusing on at the time. But the particular argument of his I was addressing is extremely poor. Perhaps this is more of a result of a lack of understanding about non-technologically related things like art etc... as opposed to his understanding of tech itself.
