alexr_rwxOne of these years -- one of these years, I'm probably going to learn that the whole social-sciences-y side of computer science is a lot more interesting in the abstract than in practice. In practice, classes like "HCI" or "Educational Technolgy" or even the cog-sci classes... just end up pissing me off.
It's not that it's "interdisciplinary" between AI and philosophy and psychology... it's that it's at the tipping point of interesting-ness between all of these and it ends up sounding like noise. To me, anyway.
Let's just go write some code or open up some brains or something.

Re: Riff on a tangent to your post!
Date: 2006-11-01 03:37 am (UTC)But responding to this comment in full... would probably take long conversations and position papers and maybe the founding of a new meta-interdisciplinary journal/conference/field of "what's cool in the intellectual world these days"?
I'm honestly not sure what's going on, is the thing. People talk about stuff as if they know what's going on (there are those who say that "Human-Centered Computing" is a Thing that's separate from CS or HCI or semiotics or whatever)... and they seem to think it an important distinction. I'm just getting a little weary of all the classification and re-classification... it smells like org charts.
How about "hey look, we made this item, and we found out that all of our moms can use it!" ?
