     [For the edification of the people in news.groups, a
newsgroup split has been proposed for comp.ai: one group for
implementors, and one for philosophy of AI.  Several people
have seconded the motion.]

     I should note at this point that, theoretically at least,
there is already a newsgroup that is perfect for the
philosophy of mind/intelligence/AI discussion.  It's called
talk.philosophy.tech, and has been talked about as an official
newsgroup for some time.

     The trouble is that I know of no site which is actually
carrying this newsgroup.  Also, it doesn't appear on the
official newsgroup list.

     I think the meta-discussion in comp.ai should be enough
to push the net.gods into re-doing the "newgroup" for
talk.philosophy.tech, creating it in fact as well as in theory.
