Wrenching news: Dan Dennett has died. He's been a great friend and incredible inspiration for me throughout my career. I will miss him enormously. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
Very good piece on AI risk by @Jackstilgoe science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
😲 (but actually not surprising) ⬇️
The New Yorker article, "Among the AI Doomsayers" by @andrewmarantz is generally pretty good, but recounts the scary-sounding story below. BUT -- importantly, that's NOT what really happened. For the real (much less scary) story, see my post about it: aiguide.substack.com/p/did-gpt-4-hi…
Quote below is from nytimes.com/2024/04/15/tec… in NY Times today. What evidence is there for this claim, besides "I talked to a chatbot and it seemed humanlike"? When given an actual Turing Test, chatbots tend to fail (arxiv.org/abs/2310.20216)
Thrilled to share a review on THE LANGUAGE NETWORK AS A NATURAL KIND—a culmination of ~20 yrs of thinking about+studying language from linguistic, psycholinguistic, and cog neuro perspectives. @NatRevNeurosci rdcu.be/dEylV With the amazing @neuranna @tamaregev 🥳 🧵1/n
Highly recommended!
Relying on huge amounts of training data is not sustainable, and it may even be dangerous. This is one of the many reasons why AI should learn from how children develop: they learn so much from so little!

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
Biggest safety risk of AI is concentration of power and I doubt this board will help fight it!

@MelMitchell1 Thank you for pointing to your review! A less reductive idea of evolution was given by the geographer Peter Gould (not related to Stephen Jay Gould afaik): evolution forbids certain paths and allows a wide range of others, but it does not *require* any particular path.

Dan Dennett carved the characters for Beijing 北京 on his walking stick. RIP Dan.
I am right now writing a paper on functionalism & LLMs that I was excited to ask Dennett to coauthor with me. He inducted me into philosophy, as generous & patient & incisive a mentor as one could hope for. All my philosophical work I have done for him. Uncertain how to reorient.
I came across a copy of The Mind's I in high school and it blew my mind, still feels like an ur-text of cogsci to me (along with Brainstorms).
One little-known fact is that Dan Dennett played himself in a 1988 film based on the book "The Mind's I". The film is called "Victim of the Brain"; it contains a staging of Dan's short story "Where Am I?". Starts at 30:23 at the link below: vimeo.com/113313927
My dear and long time friend Daniel Dennett passed away today. He was a towering figure in philosophy and in particular in the philosophy of AI. Now we have only memories of him. [[And do keep up to date with your correspondence--I have a 30 day old email from him in my inbox…
One of the greatest minds of our times has died. This is a huge blow to the fields of philosophy, morality, consciousness and intelligence. I adored his teachings even though sometimes it took me years to get them. His ideas will live on. @danieldennett
Such sad news. He was a brilliant philosopher who had a profound influence on cognitive science. And he was hugely supportive to young scholars—including me, long ago. A great loss. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
