Would anyone who attended S. Dreyfus' public talk on connectionism at 
U.C. Berkeley (Friday, 1/29) give a summary?  

S. and H. Dreyfus (brothers) are Berkeley's "loyal opposition" to AI work
in the 'GOFAI' tradition (Haugeland's Good Old-Fashioned AI, based on
symbolic/logical manipulations).  Their assessment of the neural net
pre-symbolic paradigm should have been interesting.

thanks!
