📖 Description

In the small group of people who care about deconfusing goal-directedness and like Daniel Dennett's intentional stance, there's one paper everyone mentions: [Agents and Devices](https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.12387), by Orseau, McGill and Legg. It's also pretty much the only paper ever mentioned on that topic.
