       | On March 27 I'll have a discussion with William J. Rapaport
       | (https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/). William is a Professor at U
       | at Buffalo, a philosopher and computer scientist specializing in
       | AI. He has written the book Philosophy of Computer Science: An
       | Introduction to the Issues and the Literature
       | (https://www.wiley.com/en-
       | us/Philosophy+of+Computer+Science%3...), one of the authoritative
       | sources on the topic. He has also published multiple papers on
       | the topic. His 2 most recent ones are: (1) Will AI Succeed? The
       | "Yes" Position
       | (https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/Papers/aidebate.pdf), (2)
       | Large Language Models and the Turing Test: The "Use of Words" vs.
       | "General Educated Opinion"
       | (https://cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/Papers/llmtt.pdf).
       | 
       | William has almost no talks or interviews online. I thought this
       | would be a one-time opportunity for anyone interested in these
       | topics to pose questions to William directly! So, if you have a
       | question for William, please send it to me using THIS FORM:

       | Also, feel free to forward it to anyone you think would be
       | interested.

         | You should include your name, and link to channel in the form's
         | self description. I accidentally followed the link blindly, and
         | had no context.
         | 
         | Anyone following the link directly without viewing comments or
         | knowing your hn username will be confused. I suspect your
         | intended audience is larger than: people who already know you
         | and your content well.
