What is this ‘attention economy’? Is there really a market where people buy and sell human attention? If so, what’s wrong with that? New paper by Katharine Browne and me that argues: yes, there is an attention market and yes, there is something wrong with it. 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

#PhiMiSci published a new standalone article: In “What active inference still can’t do: The (frame) problem that just won’t go away”, Darius Parvizi-Wayne argues that both new and old attempts to solve the frame problem on the basis of the active inference framework are explanatorily inadequate.

Very excited to have the first paper of my PhD — What active inference still can’t do: The (frame) problem that just won’t go away — published in @phimisci.bsky.social ! philosophymindscience.org/index.php/ph... #PhilMind #PhilCognition #Philpsy #Philsky

'The Idealized Mind: From Model-based Science to Cognitive Science' published by MIT Press. Claims: models of the mind are idealized models; this is consistent with scientific realism; yet, it blocks realism about neural representation and neural computation based on evidence from neuroscience.
