Wow, this post is fantastic! In particular I love the point you make about goal-directedness:
If a model is goal-directed with respect to some goal, it is because such goal-directed cognition was selected for.
Looking at our algorithms as selection processes that incentivize different types of cognition seems really important and underappreciated.
