I'm writing a short post on the philosophical interpretation of the Turing Test, arguing that more than a practical intelligence test, we should take it as a thought experiment for a functionalist definition of "thinking". I'd love to have someone more versed than me on philosophical affairs to take a read and tell me if I'm making any obvious mistakes or erroneous interpretations.

Ale, I don't know if I am more versed in philosophy, but I clearly can't write enough about the stuff. I'd be happy to review something you're writing (as long as it's less than, say, 2000 words).

Awesome, thanks :) I'll send you a draft link later this week when it's more or less ready.

Still far from ready, only the middle section is more or less worked out, but I'd love to hear your thoughts

Can I chime in? I'd have some serious thoughts about it 😉

Right now, I'm very interested in collaborative pieces. I don't have any drafts for folks to review, but for those who have seen my recent collabs, I'd really appreciate some thoughtful feedback on how they're working for me (both from an interesting subject matter perspective, and from a marketing point of view). If you have the bandwidth, my most recent 3 collaborations are:

https://goatfury.substack.com/p/can-ai-be-funny (used an AI comic strip panel!)

https://goatfury.substack.com/p/from-line-cooks-to-robots - direct w/another substack author, but check out how I did it

https://goatfury.substack.com/p/folding-the-future-the-art-and-science - collaborating with someone not on substack

I'm trying to sort of categorize these, so I could make a few like the first category, a few like the 2nd, a few like the 3rd, and so on.

Y'all know I write every day, so it won't take long to try these approaches out several times through, but I would love some feedback if you have the chance.

and this doesn't even count the regular, recurring stuff Edem and I are working on!

Still waffling between here and my own blog on github.

For example. https://slott56.github.io/2023-06-27-any_and_all_and_identity_elements.html

Not sure if I should (1) move here and replicate over there or (2) move heere and leave github as "old stuff" or (3) include links here back to github (that seems dumb, but, what do I know?)

Substack seems to be good at creating conversations around articles. I’ve only been here just over two months, but definitely enjoying it so far (apart from the code block functionality on the editor, but I hope that will change soon)
