Why Stevan Harnad Has Been Dreaming of Chatbots All Along | Katina Magazine

"Stevan Harnad is one of the best-known academic advocates for open access; his milestone 1994 “Subversive Proposal” was one of the earliest calls for peer-reviewed papers to be made openly available. He recently joined Michael Upshall to discuss his background in cognitive science, the pioneering format of the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences, which he founded in 1978, his advocacy for internet-based scientific discussions, and the connection between open access and large language models (LLMs). The interview has been edited for length and clarity. Their full conversation can be heard on the Against the Grain podcast, here."
