I figured there was a chance it could be legit so I did both.  Glad it 
reached you.

If time is at a premium you may want to just focus on the sections that I 
post critiques on.  I plan on doing it in sequential order with the paper
so 
that might be more efficient for you.

He is always trying to bridge classic philosophy with technology to make 
broad conclusions about AI.  I think this time he is trying to rely on 
cognitive neuroscience research (esp. in re to chaos and neural networks)
to 
buttress his long standing positions.  However, I think he over reaches 
their because he does not understand anything about the technical issues, 
which imo greatly weakens, if not eviscerates his conclusions.

On an AI news group, this is what I expect, of course.

>and possibly with you too.
Yes, I am counting on this being the case.  You have two birds to shoot
down 
possibly with completely different ammunition.  I am always very 
controversial so it will be very easy for you to disagree with both Dryfus

and my comments.

Vive la differance!

I look forward to your well reasoned feedback on my critiques that I post 
that you find interesting to respond to .
