Your logical fallacy is.. Dutch. Podcast: Filosoof Hans Achterhuis is bang voor de utopie. Onderwijs in Beeld. The Robot Car of Tomorrow May Just Be Programmed to Hit You. Image: U.S.
DOT Suppose that an autonomous car is faced with a terrible decision to crash into one of two objects. It could swerve to the left and hit a Volvo sport utility vehicle (SUV), or it could swerve to the right and hit a Mini Cooper. If you were programming the car to minimize harm to others–a sensible goal–which way would you instruct it go in this scenario? As a matter of physics, you should choose a collision with a heavier vehicle that can better absorb the impact of a crash, which means programming the car to crash into the Volvo.
But physics isn’t the only thing that matters here. Even if the harm is unintended, some crash-optimization algorithms for robot cars would seem to require the deliberate and systematic discrimination of, say, large vehicles to collide into.

The University of Cambridge has posted a video showing how and explaining why it uses mice to test cancer drugs for humans.
Cambridge used the video as an opportunity to be frank about its use of mice -- defending the necessity of it, but also focussing on animal welfare and alternatives the university is pursuing to try and reduce and replace animal tests. "As part of our commitment to openness, in our new film, we look inside one of our facilities, where mice are helping our scientists understand how cancers develop," explains the university in a blog post.
The video was released to coincide with World Day for Animals in Laboratories (held on 24 April) and offers a rare insight into a world usually closed to the public. Animal rights activists took to the streets of Cambridge this weekend to protest against experiments taking place at the university and at AstraZeneca's new headquarters on the biomedical campus.

Official Google Blog: Rethinking office space. Not the sexiest title for a blog post, I know.
But as we’ve inhabited a variety of workplaces—including a garage in Menlo Park, a farmhouse in Denmark and an entire New York city block—we’ve learned something about what makes an office space great. And we’re excited to put that into practice, starting here at our home in Mountain View. Today we’re submitting a plan to redevelop four sites—places where we already have offices but hope to significantly increase our square footage—to the Mountain View City Council. It's the first time we'll design and build offices from scratch and we hope these plans by Bjarke Ingels at BIG and Thomas Heatherwick at Heatherwick Studio will lead to a better way of working. The idea is simple. Lezing Transhumanietzsche door Sorgner. The Matrix Unloaded [Ger de Gooijer : De Ratioclub - Glossen]

Zo stelt de filosoof Nick Bostrom de vraag of we in een computersimulatie leven. Naast zijn eigen website www.nickbostrom.com houdt hij een website bij die in zijn geheel gewijd is aan deze kwestie: Simulation Argument. Soortgelijke ideeën heeft Hans Moravec, iemand die bezig is met Kunstmatige Intelligentie en robots. Moravec werkte aan het Field Robotics Center, The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (zie zijn website). Bostrom verwijst ook naar de berekeningen van Eric Drexler over de toekomstige rekenkracht van computers. Google Ventures.

10,000 Year Clock. We are building a 10,000 Year Clock.
It's a special Clock, designed to be a symbol, an icon for long-term thinking. It's of monumental scale inside a mountain in West Texas. The father of the Clock is Danny Hillis. He's been thinking about and working on the Clock since 1989. He wanted to build a Clock that ticks once a year, where the century hand advances once every 100 years, and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium. Goed nieuws: de wereld bestaat niet - Filosofie.

Een schitterend ongeluk (A Glorious Accident) 3/7 Daniel C Dennett. Running mate Romney Ayn Rand fan - Filosofie. Paul Ryan, de man die Mitt Romney gaat bijstaan in de strijd om het Amerikaanse presidentschap, is een fan van de Russische schrijfster en filosofe Ayn Rand. Als lid van het Huis van Afgevaardigden deelde Ryan in 2003 aan zijn hele staf exemplaren uit van Atlas Shrugged, zo meldt The New Yorker.
In deze dystopische roman schetst Rand een toekomstbeeld van de Verenigde Staten waarin de elite gaat staken uit protest tegen hoge belastingen en overheidsbemoeienis.

You might ask why we should care what an Austrian philosopher of science who has been dead for 18 years thought about the nature of scientific inquiry.
Yet much of what Karl Popper contributed to the philosophy of science has now passed into mainstream thought, into the currency of that nebulous, tricky ontology known as "common sense". In the case of philosophers such as Popper, their work is, in a sense, too recent to be able to evaluate with the level of hindsight that we might apply to more distant thinkers, such as David Hume, and yet it is worth attempting to unpack. Born in 1902, in Vienna, the young Popper demonstrated a broad range of interests (music was a dominant passion) and an inquiring mind: he entered into the intellectual hotbed of Austrian culture, attending lectures by Einstein, investigating the psychotherapeutic theories of Freud and Adler, and becoming a Marxist.
The search for truth was, Popper considered, the strongest motivation for scientific discovery. History of Philosophy without any gaps. Www.arsfloreat.nl/documents/Plato10.pdf.
