This book by John R. Anderson came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Nate Derbinsky. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“how can the human mind occur in the physical universe is one of the court akhtar books so it talks through a lot of the psychological underpinnings”— Nate Derbinsky
The guest here is Nate Derbinsky: Professor at Northeastern University working on computational agents with human-level intelligence; longtime developer of the Soar cognitive architecture and student of John Laird's lab at the University of Michigan. Nate Derbinsky explains cognitive architecture as a path to AGI, focusing on the Soar system and the surprising value of forgetting.
