Can you name some older academics that have the requisite philosophical skill? (And if your first line isn’t a joke, perhaps you can link me to some of your own philosophical works?)
Sipser, Russell&Norvig et al are core parts of your proposed philosophical curriculum, Louis’ course recommendations reads like my former grad CS reading list.
It follows that, say, many with or pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning and related have also picked up a majority of your desired (per your recommendations) philosophical skills.
I’m not postulating that Bayesian superstars also make the best drummers and fencing masters, but between your analytical CS-style philosophy and Machine Learning groups there is a cross-domain synergy effect that comes with the clarity of designing minds—or advanced algorithms.
(As for myself, the first line was meant as a joke—alas! How sad!)

No, I wouldn’t say that. The problem is that we (humans) don’t know how to teach the philosophical skill I’m talking about, so there aren’t classes on it, so I can only recommend courses on “the basics” or “prerequisites.” I don’t know how to turn a math/CS PhD under Stuart Russell into the next Eliezer Yudkowsky.
