Dreyfus, the author here, is a pretty infamous critic of computers, writing books on their limitations.

His writings here on "Heideggarian AI" call for making AI more contextual and embedded into the world. That is, AI should "be" in the world, instead of just executing a function. I've seen some comments on HN lately talking about making embodied AIs and having them function as self-directed agents, and it reminded me of this paper.
