I finally finished reading Plato’s Camera, and it was fairly good, for a philosophy book. In fact, it does quite a lot better than most ML/AGI books at talking about how a real mind can work. I’m thinking of fetching my highlights and notes off my Kindle to write a book review. Would that be helpful to anyone?
In general, I approve of book reviews of LWish content, and I have found the primary beneficiaries are people who wouldn’t have come across that book otherwise (and thus aren’t the sort of people who will say “yes, review that book!”).
Well, I took the step of dragging my Kindle Highlights and notes off my the actual hardware and into a text file where I can work with it. This will take a long time, as there’s a fairly large amount of material.

If you thought it was good, that’s enough evidence for me to be interested in reading a review.
