CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai 🧵

#81 Changing Minds, Metaphysics, and a Life in Analytic Philosophy with Janet Levin #philsky open.substack.com/pub/lovephil...

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Scilla Elworthy champions “the vital importance of the heart for all we’re trying to address and change in today’s world.” May seem too intimate or uncomfortable to talk about the heart so openly; can we sit with that difficulty & find power open differently? #love #peace

🎙the Core of Loving & Knowing with @participha.bsky.social Philosopher Hanne De Jaegher discusses life experiences and how they led to her academic journey in cognitive science and the scholarship behind ‘participatory sense-making’ #psm #phil #embodied #sensemaking #varela #loveandphilosophy

De Jaegher's work on participatory sense-making brought something crucial to cognitive science: the idea that meaning isn't first computed internally then communicated. It's generated between bodies in real time. Two people in conversation are literally co-thinking.

There's an essay describing our work, published on @lovephilosophy.substack.com, if you want to know more: lovephilosophy.substack.com/p/the-perspe...

So grateful for Jürgen #Habermas' legacy. I taught "Future of Human Nature" many times. So prescient re: reproductive technology & AI. A serious secular attempt to define the sacredness of human life & a powerful example of philosophical insight. May we honor his life & heed his warnings. #philsky

Could we change the metaphor in academia and beyond from competition to care? "Care is what makes movement into a path." For the philosophers, seekers, and educators out there who are already quietly doing this, sending lots of respect!! open.substack.com/pub/communit...

On Loving the World: Revisiting the Scientific Image with Arendt and Haraway My upcoming talk at The Center for Philosophy of Science & the Department of Anthropology at Boston University, this coming Thursday, March 5th, 4-5.30 pm. (First Chapter of my new book project @rad-institute.bsky.social)

"Within every binary, are worlds in their becoming." #BayoAkomolafe and Andrea Hiott are having a conversation about radical incompleteness, love and holding paradoxes. Very moving!

Andrea Hiott discusses the role of mental representations in cognitive neuroscience studies of memory and navigation, proposing that representations are really a part of the way we talk about brains, not something findable in brains themselves link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Since people are doing "is AI conscious?" discourse on here again I feel like this philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4 by @birchlse.bsky.social remains my favourite piece on the current state of affairs.
