...has one guy's list.
One might also point to the philosophy of science (Popper, Kuhn, Hull) to see philosophers making definite progress on the problems in their field.
I would find this list more convincing if the author weren't himself a philosopher.
I agree that the philosophy of science is a different category entirely. I would also suggest that the current sorry state of AI is due primarily to limitations in our current understanding of scientific philosophy (as opposed to limitations of our mathematical or neurological understanding).
