Excellent summary and compilation here… Hofstadter is a thinker whom I also genuinely respect as his writing has helped lift me from my own struggles, and I have also been concerned with the possibilities of such a technological singularity (along with all the other problems we face). Thanks for posting this; I’m really digging what little I’ve seen on your blog.

Eduardo,

Sorry, it appears the article has been well and truly removed from easy access, although it has been published as part of anthology. By entering its ISBN 9780195162929 into Amazon, I was able to retrieve the first three pages of Hofstadter’s article by using the “Search inside the book” feature for “Hofstadter” and then going to the first hit Amazon provides.

Hope this helps.

Hello there,

I tried to go to the Hofstadter article you mention, but they’ve take it off their site. Do still have it? And if so, could you send it to my email?

thanx
