Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-26 00:00:00 Chad Brinster For me, Agre is everything critical and constructive where I found Dreyfus insulting and unhelpful. I would have been impressed just by the community analysis that he does; the early chapters' explanation of the engineering mindset among AI researchers and why they respond to critiques the way they do was exactly the reasoning that I wanted to hear. But he goes beyond that explanation to actually make a critique of AI, and in actually demonstrating alternatives and working through their issues, I find his critique much more meaningful and persuasive. That is the kind of critique that I've always wanted the I School to be a place for. Also, I love the programming language and that it's called Life. I couldn't easily find implementations of "Life" in Python or other modern programming languages, and I wonder if it's possible to build agents with it. And I'm curious reading these examples what it would be like to try to implement, say, a Slack chatbot that built up running arguments or used dependencies to learn new reasoning during conversation. Partly, I find it hard to take critiques seriously when they're disconnected from practice. That Agre includes lines of code and step-by-step analyses makes it that much easier for me to accept that his position is informed by an understanding of the work, but more than that, I think the descriptions of technical detail (like the historical piece about logic gates and clock time) better explain the metaphors and assumptions behind computer engineering. The Pengi example is useful and detailed in its description (although I'm disappointed that I can't see it running somewhere), but I had optimistically hoped that there would be even more guidance and description on implementing the interactionist metaphor, and perhaps in a domain not as constrained as a video game.
