I see zero mentions of realism/instrumentalism/enactivism/representationalism in the OP.
Steven’t “explicit and implicit predictions” are (probably, because Steven haven’t confirmed this) representationalism and enactivism in philosophy of mind. If he (or his readers) are not even familiar with this terminology and therefore not familiar with the megatonnes of literature already written on this subject, probably something that they will say on the very same subject won’t be high-quality or original philosophical thought? What would make you think otherwise?
Same with realism/instrumentalism, not using these words and not realising that FEP theorists themselves (and their academic critics) discussed the FEP from the philosophy of science perspective, doesn’t provide a good prior that new, original writing on this will be a fresh, quality development on the discourse.
I am okay with getting a few wrong ideas about FEP leaking out in the LessWrong memespace as a side-effect of making the fundamental facts of FEP (that it is bad) common knowledge. Like ideally there would be maximum accuracy but there’s tradeoffs in time and such. FEPers can correct the wrong ideas if they become a problem.
