Love & Philosophy #8: What Can a Computer Be? with Flora Moon and Esteban Montero
What can a computer be?
A discussion about computing with Flora Moon and Esteban Montero of Holon Labs. What is a computer and what do we want it to be? If a computer is made of living matter (something being explored now in various labs) how do we understand the traditional distinctions of technology and biology?
