Points to make: BCS observation

Phase 1: 1960--1970s: AI -> CogSci trajectory from basing AI on what's
understood in Psych/Ling/Anthro/Socio etc. and developing
computational implementable approaches to understanding e.g. human
language.  HMMs

Phase 2, Late 1970s-early 20th: Evidence-based, but with relatively
little evidence by today's standards: a few millions of words of
written (American) English, a few 10s of hours of spoken, simple
probabilistic models, _no_ reference to human process.  ANNs.

Phase 3, 2010s to 2023:  Step-change in the size (of data, of models,
of compute power) and in the complexity of the architecture (LLMs) and
the underlying mathematics.

Apothesis: Release of ChatGPT in April 2023 (?).

But one thing hasn't changed: it's all about the _form_ of the data,
not the substance (BCS).

Dignity by right of being created and loved by God.  No act is needed
to have it, to deserve it.

Social, Moral, Existential Dignity

Techno-anthropology, that is, the kind of anthropology which is
implicit in the technology, of AI in particular.

[Taiwan example]

Trans- and post- humanism -- AI can help us transcend the
constraints/limitations we currently experience.

"we need to redefine what it means to be human" [whom?]

Things that this opens up:
 1) What it means to be human is open for revision
 2) Materiality is all
 3) Human limitations are _problems_ that can be transcended
