Reddit mentions of Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep?: A Neuroscientific View of the Zombie Brain

I'm currently looking at UCSD to transfer for my Cognitive Science BA, from what I've read they're one of the best schools in the world for it because it's not a "branch" of the Psychology department, it's an entity completely unto itself. Also, they were like the first university to have their own CS department a decade ago, so they've been at it the longest.

I just ordered a book by one of their professors, on the neuroscience of zombie brains. Seems hype, I'll let you know how it goes.

NLP and Machine Learning are what I want to focus on too, I'm mostly interested in trying to get the "social" aspect of AI human-like enough to approximate humanity. Even if it's a weak AI, "If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?"

Also, hell man, it's probably not too late if you're really about that life. There's plenty of online courses that you can take that would supplement your existing knowledge enough to make a go of it. edX has a Micromasters in AI from Columbia coming up that you can jump on, we could totally be study buddies.

...since I'm black, does that make me Bern/Arnold and you Ford? I'm watching you man.
