@theeconomistnews.bsky.social thinks Philosophy might be AI resistant. It is. But why is the question.

Good news, everyone! I have a short piece coming out in The Conversation on Monday that explains the main issues with this study. It's impossible for me to have the same media reach as the original press release. So I'd be extremely grateful if people could help me share it as widely as possible 🙏

Ironic isn’t it. Instead of writer’s block now we need writer block. Before we had trouble getting words out. Now we need stop the AI flood.

"The issue was never how the text was produced. It’s whether the thinking is original. Voice is recoverable — my rewrite proved that. Thought isn’t." I'm getting better at being VERY explicit with genAI. It wants to think/write FOR us so badly. I have to tell it not to, over and over again.

In the tariff case, it could be said there is also a potential, for example, ability to sue (act), that the environment supports or suppresses. In the case of social environments, however there strong feedback loops between actor and environment, these are weaker in the moth case (seemingly).

I find this interesting, but the link between mechanisms is not so clear. In the case of the moths, the implication is that moths of light and dark are always born, but the environment defines survival. Generically, each color represents an information potential with varying dynamic potential.
