I will update if/when I see a short convincing explanation of his solution or a substantial number of other people acknowledge that it's correct. My little experience with Dennett's writing hasn't yet turned up anything interesting, much less anything novel+correct.
Really? Reading a new Dennet book or paper is always a joy for me.
If you'd like to get more Dennett in short bits, this page has a nice archive.
There's a lot of links on that page; that's a joy to a Dennett fan such as myself (I upvoted!), but for someone not previously interested, pointing out a couple particularly enjoyable ones might be helpful.
Edit: I like Explaining the 'Magic' of Consciousness - it, too, is relevant to the recent remarks on consciousness, and it follows Dennett's analytical style quite closely.
I'd recommend clicking on links with interesting titles, but some ones to check out:
[http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/intentio.htm] - on intentionality, one of Dennett's strong areas.
[http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/quinqual.htm] - on qulia, haven't read this one in a while, but fits in with recent LW discussion
[http://edge.org/3rd_culture/dennett06/dennett06_index.html] - perhaps Dennett's best work, recommended reading for all atheists.
[http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/chmess.pdf] - on how philosophy can degenerate into useless trivia
I find the intentional stance interesting. Although we won't get much further at AI unless we can switch to the design stance of an intelligence.
