New book by Doug Hofstadter. In a recent interview he also announced his next book, My Wild Grace Chase, about his visual art creations.

Douglas Hofstadter was my favorite author during my childhood and early youth. I’ve read every book he wrote from cover to cover.

He had a significant influence on my perspective on thinking, consciousness and AI.

I am more than surprised that he has made so little (and so negative) commentary on the current developments in the field of LLMs and other neural networks.
