We are interested at Providence College in RI!

The Central APA program is out and I'll be giving a talk on Saturday morning at 9am. I'm eager to reconnect with some friends I haven't seen in years and meet up with others I don't get to see often. Although Chicago in February isn't perfect, I'm sure it will be a fantastic time. #philsky

I’ll be discussing the ethics of various sales techniques to the business ethics club this week at PC. This is the second year in a row they’ve asked me to give a guest lecture. I guess it didn’t go too badly the last time around. #philsky #ethics #businessethics

My book *Knowing What It Is Like* is 1 year old today! 🎂A couple of highlights from its first year out in the world: #philsky

New paper of mine—I’ve been a huge fan of Rob Hopkins’s paper “How to Be a Pessimist about Aesthetic Testimony” (J. Phil 2011) since it came out. This is my attempt to slightly tweak and polish his “Unuseability Pessimism” to harness its full power.

🚨 Call for papers: Close personal relationships and AI technologies. Great opportunity for global perspectives on the philosophical implications of Close Personal Relationships and AI-driven technologies (from Chatbots to robots). Please share! (Reach out if interested). #AIethics / #philtech

This paper is interesting but I think it confuses knowledge-based reasoning in good old fashioned AI systems, and big data analytics present in ML models. I am unsure that would undermine the argument, though. #PhilSky www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

"In any given week, 0.15 percent of users “indicate potentially heightened levels of emotional attachment to ChatGPT” More than 800 million people use ChatGPT every week. That’s 1.2 million people developing a potentially unhealthy bond to a chatbot" #AIEthics www.platformer.news/openai-menta...

How are the philosophers thinking about this? Are we boycotting JPhil, et al? #philsky

I don't generally consider myself a nasty philosopher, but every once in a while I revisit Nina Strohminger's review of McGinn's book on disgust for the pleasure of a great takedown #philsky www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctytho/McG...
