If you are looking for a book for an introduction, I would suggest Mindware by Andy Clark is pretty reasonable. Pub 2014; ISBN: 9780199828159
on “Why Is the Human Brain So Efficient? (2018)” ↗Thanks for the recs, Mindware by Andy Clark is also a great book on these topics. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/mindware-97801998281...
on “What is it like to be a thermostat? (1996)” ↗…could spark my own thought process (this is how I read most of the time nowadays). For a much more concise overview on the similar subject matters, checkout this book by Andy Clark http://www.amazon.com/Mindware-Introduction-Philosophy-Cogni...
on “Ask HN: Experiences with 'Gödel, Escher, Bach' (GEB)?” ↗Not insightful. Offers a 60 year old argument about symbol systems and the need for more computational power (alone). I suggest reading Andy Clark's Mindware for a critical view of various approaches to this problem.
on “Why AI Is Simple and Biological Neural Networks Are Not” ↗
