But everyone knows that ideas *are* images already

For those of Dunedinian persuasion.

Hard agree - I would love to live on that Square.

Hope those words are tasty!

Two P. G. Wodehouse hardbacks in the original dustwrappers.

Many things are terrible right now, but a P. G. Wodehouse hardback in its original dustwrapper is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

!!!

Hard agree on PGS Other Minds - absolutely the most interesting thing on Mind-Body since who knows when and incredibly readable / accessible with it.

Such a great track and such a great performance of it!

7 is a great track.

No

Personally, I'm down for "No Tyrants".

It's what Locke would have wanted.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

Jonathan Birch:

AI is complicated and mysterious.

Consciousness is complicated and mysterious.

Therefore AI is conscious.

It was a film and no it won’t.

Somewhat ironic - had Trump browbeat this shitweasel into retreat, he'd have earned a peace prize.

But alas, he's either too stupid, too evil or too both to do so.

It's been a while since I've seen someone pen an entire article just so they can land a pretty awful pun in the final line.

But it is the FT I suppose.

The process and context are what enable consciousness, not just the raw materials - an engineer is not a part of that process or context.

You assume that evolution and engineering are the same thing - I do not believe that is the case.

Alas assertion does not make something true - you need to demonstrate it as a matter of fact, not supposition of theory.

Ari Emanuel bets AI will boost leisure time with three-day working week Hollywood agent raises almost $3bn from investors including Apollo and QIA for venture spanning tennis to car auctions

Proof if proof were still needed that you can be rich and very stupid.

I mean, what version of capitalism is this?

I think the mistake is to think that these are machines that can be engineered, when consciousness has only ever been an attribute of creatures that have evolved.

I’m fairness to the useless orange ball bag, he is a moron.

None of the handwriting is Locke's, presumably that on the left is Gendron's - though it is not easy to immediately decipher.

Locke made extensive medical and botanical notes over the course of his life and constructed an in-depth herbarium - it *might* be possible to identify a candidate...

Which archive / repository is this in?

Are there other accompanying documents?

I believe it's the other way around.

FWIW I think the pure acoustic of the video version is the superior.

(But then I always think that Live Prince > Studio Prince).
