Happening Wednesday: @APAEastern past president @davidchalmers42 of @nyu will deliver the 2024 Richard J. Burke Lecture in Philosophy, Religion and Society at @OaklandUPHL. The talk will explore connections between philosophy and AI. patch.com/michigan/roche…
descartes lectures on "large language models and the philosophy of mind" in tilburg july 29-31 (alas the lectures are not by descartes, just by me). plus a workshop on the same topic to which anyone can apply. descarteslectures2024.wordpress.com/registration/
my APA presidential address on "does thought require sensory grounding? from pure thinkers to large language models" is now published. i argue for no: so, even if LLMs lack sensory grounding, this doesn't entail that they can't think or understand. philpapers.org/rec/CHADTR
thread summary: although the scaling hypothesis is often discussed as if it's widely held, few seem to publicly endorse it. apparent exceptions: @ilyasut, @irinarish (some version), scott alexander (40%), and some say amodei and hinton. a survey & metasurvey would be useful!

who endorses the AGI scaling hypothesis: roughly, that scaling current systems and methods will lead to human-level AGI?
