^ this is what I am talking about. For some reason I think Luke has a bachelor’s degree with a major in cognitive science (but I don’t remember exactly).
I was under the impression that he studied psychology, but dropped out before graduating. (An old interview has him mentioning that “I studied psychology in university but quickly found that I learn better and faster as an autodidact”, and back when he was still employed at MIRI, his profile on the staff page didn’t mention any degree whereas it did for almost everyone else.)
Just so we are clear—I am not really attacking Luke. I met him, we talked on skype, etc. He’s a sensible dude. I am just not weighing his opinion of philosophy very highly. “Mixture of experts” and all that.
