Jaron Lanier
by earl, 7997 days ago
Computer scientist and musician. Philosopher as well.Author of "One Half Of A Manifesto", published at edge. In his "Half a Manifesto" he takes on those he terms the "cybernetic totalists" who do not seem "to not have been educated in the tradition of scientific skepticism. I understand why they are intoxicated. There IS a compelling simple logic behind their thinking and elegance in thought is infectious." To paraphrase Sam Salt (University of Derby): While studying the philosophical aspects behind AI, future and life may look a bit "gloomy." Lanier's paper provides you with some "hearty" future prospects. On the edge's Lanier index page, links to answers to the ".5 Manifesto" from Daniel Dennett, [create Bruce Sterling], [create George Dyson], [create Freeman Dyson] and many more can be found. A PopTech related Interview with Jaron Lanier - coiner of the term "virtual reality", they say. Lately he thinks about "phenotropics": it seems he want's to get rid of protocols to transmit information and calls for "a post-protocol formulation of computer science".
