“Heideggerian AI is sorely underfunded,” says a post pairing the joke with Dreyfus’ classic critique

A post jokes that “Heideggerian AI” is underfunded, with an attached screenshot of Hubert Dreyfus’ classic critique, “Why Heideggerian AI Failed and how Fixing it would Require making it more Heideggerian.”
The core idea is a tongue-in-cheek nod to a long-running philosophical critique of symbolic AI: if you want to “fix” it, the joke implies, you might need to make it even more Heideggerian, not less.
