Currency is fungible: if I give a friend $20 and they give me two $10 notes, I still have $20. There is no change in the amount of money I have, as the indistinguishable units of currency are interchangeable. But this is not the case for intelligence. theunhappyman.substack.com/p/intelligen...

Philosopher and complexity theorist Alicia Juarrero argues that 20th-century biology was one of the first sciences to challenge the positivist, Newtonian causal metaphysics of Anglophone philosophy, which ignored context and mereology. youtu.be/0v7FQhKBKCE

Computationalism has had many critics in the philosophy of mind since the 1980s. Andrea Hiott and I, however, discuss the possibility that despite the well-founded criticisms, dynamic computational theories have a depth yet to be explored. youtu.be/WSGu3dOZ7fU

Few people, if any, would now accept the Hegelian contention that there are dialetheias (true contradictions). It is the main claim of Graham Priest that Hegel was right: our concepts, or some of them anyway, are inconsistent, and produce dialetheias. youtu.be/zg_mdD8jI0A?...

There have been attempts to develop the mathematical infrastructure based on paraconsistency rather than classical logic. What does this mean for the formalisms of the sciences? youtu.be/-ZbTSLUsrZ0

After the overwhelming number of recent LLM-based product launches, can we still say these are mere rote token-prediction machines? Based on the findings of mechanistic interpretability and insights from epistemology, Pierre Beckmann and Matthieu Queloz say otherwise. youtu.be/0d-O2sIPDrg?...

One of the best discussions of AI I've seen in a while, because it's deeply informed by philosophy AND computer science. LLM’s are more than just “stochastic parrots”, but their understanding is still nonhuman. The discussion of concepts, understanding, and world models is especially informative.
