Calvinās dad voice: The two types of philosophy are mysticism and lists. All philosophy falls into one of these two categories. Plato? Mysticism. Aristotle? Lists. Confucius? Lists. Zhuangzi? Mysticism. Despite constantly talking about true essences and infinite attributes, Spinoza is lists.

That AI systems can be oppressive is a simple enough idea. What this article does is to develop the idea in detail: a taxonomy of ways that oppression becomes instantiated, a diagnosis of the contributing factors. Very rich in examples, this might be fun to teach if you have an AI class!

Nice to see academic philosophy x AI getting attention these days. Let me ride that wave and ask a non-Ethics Q: what's the current landscape like wrt LLM's implications on Universal Grammar & Innateness Hypothesis? The only things I seem to recall seeing are op-eds in magazines.

MMT was not a going theory in economics. It was as heterodox as climate denial science. But politicians liked it nonetheless

c'mon, it's not like the deliverances of economics are so unequivocal that "politician believes the wrong economic theory and makes mistake" is science denial. is it science denial when a politician listens to John Cochrane about stimulus?

Reading a senior philosopher of AI's substack. They say they "have" to be on X because it's "where the AI chat is." And yeah, that's probably true, but if you had to be on a Nazi child-porn-generator to keep up with epistemology, I wouldn't try so hard to be on the cutting edge of epistemology idk
