I inherited my copy of Plato's Republic from my father, and I have always assumed he got it while he was at university. He probably did. But I assumed he bought it new, and he didn't. He's written his name on the flyleaf, but above it someone else has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' (very nice handwriting). The title page dates it to 1881.
So this wee book is probably one hundred and forty five years old. It's in remarkable condition.

From Plato to Gradient Descent: The Frame We Forgot We Chose
Practitioner: I’ll be honest—I find the "philosophy of AI" a bit indulgent. We aren’t guessing anymore. We’re building systems that work. GPT, AlphaFold, Sora... these aren't accidents. We’ve clearly cracked the code on how intelligence functions. Philosopher: I don’t doubt the results. But results
