Article on the culture of OpenAI gave me weird flashbacks. The author couldn’t know this, but the personalities and ways of thinking are SO familiar from 1988.

McGilchrist explicitly states it's not dual process. In the preface to expanded edition, he writes: this "transcends & replaces, and is not a perpetuation of, the old dichotomies: reason v. feeling, rationality v. intuition, 'system I v. system II', male brain v. female brain."

However, matters are muddled: due to the taboo of using hemispheres as a model, many people have found themselves using "S1" & "S2" when (my sense is) they probably mean RH & LH. I wrote a comment on
@xuenay's "Against S1 & S2" LW post about this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/HbXXd2givHBBLxr3d/against-system-1-and-system-2-subagent-sequence#Nvp9wW7sbCPqpvh5c …pic.twitter.com/H4Ig2ei0HG

Interestingly, McGilchrist also makes the reasonable/rational distinction. Here he is below describing what the world might be like (and, by implication, *is* like) if the left hemisphere were to take over:pic.twitter.com/osNDNnBCcR
