4.2055 Comparative Book Review.
In The Social History of the Machine Gun, John Ellis shows the awesome impact that machine guns have had on civilisation and society. The creators, and initial users, of the machine gun believed that their creation would end all wars, since it instituted a form of mutually assured destruction. They also believed it would bring about a certain amount of order to society, since unruly people would be put under control by elites that had exclusionary access to machine guns. But this reality did not materialise. Greater weapons were ultimately made, and these also failed to end war, just as they came up short in bringing about social control. 5 pgs. 7 f/c. 3b.

7.2124 Strong Artificial Intelligence: A Functionalist Stance.
In Searles criticisms of Strong Artificial Intelligence many revelations appear. He quite handily dismisses the very Functionalist arguments supporting Strong Artificial Intelligence Firstly, the Systems Reply (Berkeley & M.I.T.) is discarded since the person is the system and still does not understand Chinese. Secondly, with The Robots Reply (Yale), Searle notes the weakness of the argument through its concession that cognition is not only about formal symbol recognition. Thirdly, The Brain Simulator Reply (Berkeley & M.I.T), is suggested to be weak since it needs for knowledge of how the brain works. Even so, the brain shall fire the wrong 'synapses' or causal and the production of intentional states. Finally The Combination Reply is of all three arguments supporting each other to conclude that artificial intelligence is possible. 6 pgs. 7 f/c. 1b.
