Comment on Ask HN: How many AGI researchers have/are studying philosophy seriously?parent

Comments

Philosophy is just thoughts and thoughts about thoughts.

This is my beef with the field in its entirety as well. Stupid philosophers.

... and traditions such as Buddhism that have been studying consciousness for millenia.

As opposed to say, philosophy?

No because their insights are through firsthand direct experience. Of course they may just be experiencing convincing simulations, but then everything might be anyway.
