Great stuff, had no idea about Kant's conception of desire there, and it's fascinating that he had already started seeing its essence as ultimately productive.

2022-06-16 11:08:28 +0000 UTCOff topic, but what do you think of the news of ai getting concious? I mean, of course is bullshit, as the goal of the LaMDA and others bots is to fool the interlocutor and this is a very advanced bot (well, family of models or hive-mind) that was trained and tweaked to be consistent, factual and more "correct" (and pc). There's a paper from a Google Engineer, from 2021, criticizing this notiong of sentience (yet), but clearly he does not grasp the concept of embodied knowledge, as he's quoting from Varela, Thompson and Rosch ( https://www.amacad.org/sites/default/files/publication/downloads/Daedalus_Sp22_13_Aguera%20y%20Arcas.pdf ) But, I wanted to say, that the Machine Learning systems that are mainstream from 2012 onwards, specially after AlexNet, work not based on declarative programming, but are based on neural networks (CNNs, Deep Learning, etc) that are somewhat closer to what Dreyfuss called a more Heideggerian AI, although just too little, as the system doesn't care, is not invested in the world, even if it is optimizing a cost function. That's it, that's my comment/question. If I were more versed on the subject maybe I would say more, and maybe what I said is full of holes, but whatevs

2022-06-13 01:21:42 +0000 UTCPills - when he was discussing his book on Deleuze, which one was he referring to?

2022-06-12 12:39:48 +0000 UTCJust yesterday I submitted my first ever piece of work on Deleuze and it is so encouraging to hear a professional Deleuze scholar talk about the fact he still has challenges I spent weeks researching the dogmatic image of thought and I had never been less sure of the quality of my work. Every time I thought I grasped the content I would see a new angle that fundamentally changed the whole direction of the work I think I am going to spend a long time with Deleuze in the coming years
