Illusory Arguments by Artificial Agents
To diagnose someone’s reasoning today as “sophistry” is to say that this reasoning is at once persuasive (at least to a significant degree) and logically invalid. We begin by explaining that, despite some recent scholarly arguments to the contrary, the understanding of ‘sophistry’ and ‘sophistic’ underlying such a lay diagnosis is in fact firmly in line with the hallmarks of reasoning proffered by the ancient sophists themselves. Next, we supply …
Commentary
Computer Science as Immaterial Formal Logic
By Disanalogy, Cyberwarfare Is Utterly New
Crossbows, von Clauswitz, and the Eternality of Software Shrouds

A three-pronged simonesque approach to modeling and simulation in deviant “bi-pay” auctions, and beyond
Ethical robots
The Zombie Attack on the Computational Conception of Mind
Many proponents of computationalism,' the view that cognition is computation, are busy trying to practice what they preach: they are trying to build artificial persons. Two such proponents are the philosophers John Pollock and Daniel Dennett. In his last two books, How to Build a Person [45] and Cognitive Carpentry: A Blueprint for How to Build a Person [44], Pollock argues that in the future his OSCAR system will be a full-fledged person. For De…
