Very interesting. One thing he touches on a little bit is our understanding of the mind. If anyone wants a very recent (philosophical?) take on how the mind works, check out Andy Clark's book Surfing Uncertainty.
- visarga 6y agoI checked Andy Clark's wiki page and he seems to be one of the most up to date philosophers, his conclusions are not against nor ignore AI developments, especially: embodiment, RL setting with agent, environment and reward, top-down error coding perception and the extended mind thesis.
- ilaksh 6y agoYeah.. honestly a lot of philosophers when I read/hear them make me think that philosophy is just a dated precursor to science. But people like Joshua Bach and Andy Clark show how very useful philosophy can be. Although I guess they are not technically pure philosophers because most of it is cognitive science.
