what does @tonychemero.bsky.social's new book 'Intertwined Creatures' have to offer to the “AI consciousness” debate? here is my take on it www.nature.com/articles/d41...
nature.com
Can AI ever be conscious? The question stems from a misconception
A book outlines how the fields of artificial intelligence, psychology and philosophy have neglected a key aspect of consciousness: the body.

Here's a really nice paper by @edbaggs.bsky.social on "James J. Gibson’s affordance examples". The affordance idea is often glossed as about "possibilities for action". Anyone who actually reads Gibson will see many examples that don't fit that schema. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Snapshot of the preprint of our BBS commentary titled "Ethnographic methods can help psychology overcome its WEIRD problems" containing the abstract, which reads: "We are persuaded by Bard et al.'s argument that cross-cultural work in psychology requires not only a greater diversity of participants but also a greater diversity of theories. We encourage the authors to consider that the solution lies not only in improving experimentally-oriented theories, but also in adopting non-experimental methods, including purely ethnographic methods."

David Lee just died. He formulated tau/time-to-contact, the most famous bit of ecological information. He is one of the main reasons why ecological psychology is still alive. We all are indebted to him. I met him once and ended up having dinner at his place. Very cool guy! RIP
