I am an active peer reviewed published researcher. I've been doing this kind of work since 1996.-and none of that, absolutely none of it, makes you good at reason. Now you're just strawmanning -me- after spending 15 pages strawmanning someone else. I was willing to grant that you were good at ai, but that this thread demonstrates that you have a poor grasp of logical discourse. Do you understand the difference?
Quote:I was told during my PhD that it was very ambitious. I pulled it off. Apparently my boss sang my praises to everyone before I started my research fellowship. I've strived to tackle the hardest problems rather than to concentrate on publishing as many papers as possible. I've tried to break new ground. I've succeeded. This is why I only work with self organising systems. This is why I have a good understanding of just how difficult it is. I've worked in most areas of AI and R&D in industry as well as academia.-awesome....and clearly you picked the right field because, if your that successful as a researcher, it would be a shame to see you wast that talent by attempting rational debate.
Quote:And this is far more experience, qualifications and knowledge than either you or Sam Harris has. And I am the one with Dunning Kruger?Yes, and -that very sentence- is a bare exposition -of- dunning kruger. Your own appraisal of your competency, in this case about something entirely unrelated, leads you to conclude that you know your shit about that unrelated thing. You don;t..or you wouldn't have foisted the torrent of fallacies you graced us with tonight. You have just expressed the opinion that a fallacious appeal to authority clears you of the effect....just how do you expect me to respond to that?
I didn't intend to hurt your pride regarding your involvement in AI, I honestly didn't....and nothing I've said -should- do that. Keep on keepin on being an ai badass....but allow for the possibility that your rational inference and debate method needs work?
