I’m considering doing this new thing where I combine a number of unpublished essays and publish them through Issuu just to keep track of them, lest my computer go kaput one of these days. Here is one of those, with a chapter that I gave at a conference at U.C. Berkeley on Artificial Intelligence. Enjoy!
