“Kevin Drum”:http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_10/007244.php worries that advances in AI will lead humans to think we don’t have free will, and then we’ll pack up and go. As a compatibilist I don’t really see the problem, but maybe some “free will bloggers”:http://gfp.typepad.com can explain better what is going on.

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but “Ask Philosophers”:http://www.askphilosophers.org/ is apparently a website where members of the public can send questions to philosophers and a crack team will provide answers. I for one would like to know where the semantics/pragmatics distinction is, but I suspect I won’t like their answer.

And “Sahotra Sarkar”:http://webapp.utexas.edu/blogs/archives/sarkarlab/003288.html has posted info on next year’s Formal Epistemology Workshop, to be held at Berkeley from May 25-29.
