Cool that you came across Minsoo’s work! How are you thinking of incorporating this material into a course?

I co-teach a course in Philosophy of Technology with my amazing colleague Anna Greenspan—we often do units on the history of science and philosophy with an emphasis on early dreams of artificial intelligence, and also on gender and artificial intelligence. This makes a natural fit!

That sounds like a brilliant course, bravo. Here’s a series on this theme by my other former colleague Simon Schaffer (now retired 😡) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0229pbp

Thanks—actually have that bookmarked for looking at before the next iteration, thanks to someone (maybe you!) posting it here recently.

(Though I actually came across this at random, not because I was planning the course. Very cool that Minsoo also writes novels...)
