How to Appreciate Human Intelligence:
“try to build artificial intelligence embodied in computer architecture”
~ Jonathan Mugan
Embodiment and sensory input
“Physical experience is the Foundation of Knowledge” ~Jonathan Mugan

Threats in the Second Machine Age
• Automating more sophisticated jobs• Consumption reflects digital re-production
rather than human labor input• Removing barriers to competition:
