My latest Modern Library essay is now up! This one covers Thomas S. Kuhn's THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS and applies Kuhn's ideas about a paradigm shift to AI (spoiler alert: AI falls significantly short!) while pointing to the many marketing sociopaths who have falsely tendered claims of scientific progress. There are also digressions about the many men in the 1980s who grew mustaches.

Thomas Kuhn's classic text about paradigms and scientific revolution has been frequently paraphrased, but not properly understood by the latest round of grifters. This Modern Library essay tackles what "paradigm" actually means and applies Kuhn's criteria to AI.
