Discussion from Jason Grinblat of Caves of Qud (@ptychomancer), Ryan Clark of Crypt of the Necrodancer (@ryanclark), and myself.

Thanks all for a great chat!

EDIT: I now have access, but this is important: Publications preventing libraries from acquiring context.

I tried to get this article:

https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/06/09/artificial-neural-networks-today-are-not-conscious-according-to-douglas-hofstadter

According to my librarian,we can't get it at UW.

We have access, print and online, to all of the Economist from 1981, but not this piece — it's special "online only" content just for personal subscribers.

IMO this is unconscionable. I wonder if the author (a hero of mine since age 14) is aware they've wasted his time in this way.

THE MOON STAIR IS HERE!
