> his critique of BF Skinner’s “Verbal Behavior” had been wrong after all
btw, this is in no way proven (or true imo).
- foldr 2y agoI'd be fairly cautious in assuming that these more recent coauthored pieces by Chomsky represent his views very accurately. They're pretty crude by his standards and don't really read like his writing (though he may well have signed off on them in some sense).
- leto_ii 2y agoMany interviews with him directly you can check out. Article is consistent with those interviews.
- foldr 2y agoThere is some overlap with the content of recent interviews, but only some. In particular, the fussing over what is or isn’t “true intelligence” comes from Watumull and isn’t consistent with Chomsky’s past comments on AI over several decades.
- leobg 2y agoSkinner isn’t mentioned in the article.
