senior male academics giving a conference paper, after being shown the "one more minute" sign

My take on this game: I rewatched Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer last year and it really holds up. Great film for the whole family!

Is AI rapidly concentrating epistemic and political power in the hands of a small number of companies many of which have aligned themselves with authoritarian governments?

The All-Ireland Hurling Final today will have a larger attendance than the World Cup Final. 82,000 in Croke Park compared to 80,663 in the MetLife Stadium.

My department is hiring a lecturer or senior lecturer in philosophy. It's an open call in terms of research specialization, but we're keen to hire someone whose teaching/research speaks to PPE in some way. This is a great job in a great department. Please help me spread the word!

Travelling a lot recently has really called to mind the old zen proverb, wherever you go, there are German backpackers.

It’s hard to remember that ordinary people only know two or three amygdaloids — plus geodes, of course

He’s right! This is exactly word-for-word what I do when I’ve arrived somewhere new. Humboldt has captured something completely normal and universal here.

Surely the right solution to Newcomb’s Problem is to reject both boxes thereby working to overcome attachment and ultimately to escape saṃsāra?

Umeå University is advertising two assistant professor positions in the humanities: www.umu.se/en/work-with... I was a postdoc at Umeå and it's a great place to work! @ethannowak.bsky.social would back me up on this.

Having students formalise this the next time I teach logic.

In the spirit of Roger Scruton, I feel it’s best to be up-front about my fees. So if tech companies are following, I’ll write articles arguing: Language models are moral agents: £5000 (+£2000 for patienthood) Running PyTorch makes GPUs feel pain: £7000 NLTK toolkit was always sentient: £10,000

Behavioral and Brain Sciences is such a cool journal. We're all quite lucky that it's there doing its thing.

Disappointing follow-up to Sharpe’s Eagle

Does anyone else feel like the past/present perfect tense of 'row' is 'row'n'? e.g. she has row'n her boat to Hawaii. Please tell me there is some dialect where this is the case.

Surprised that no other major film has decided to pair its release with The Odyssey. Moana could have marketed itself as the alternative aquatic-wanderer-who-meets-a-god-film.

You think the problem of intentionality is hard? Haven’t you heard of causal chains?! If there is a causal chain connecting two things, then one of those things means the other. Please don’t ask any follow-up questions or demand details.

Some fun looking papers at FAccT this year: dl.acm.org/doi/proceedi...

The Minions speak the Language of Thought (LOT).

*Watching people complaining about AC online* Ah, this person is clearly one of Edison’s stooges.

Some of you don't believe the deductive closure of your beliefs and it shows.

The Circus Maximus, site of the original “Mario Kart”

Not a bad spot to pick up a couple life birds

It’s weird that only one person in history has known how to make presenter-mode appear on a computer but not with the projector and that person was imprisoned in the Bastille for their whole life.

The air without is impregnated with raindew moisture, life essence celestial, glistering on Dublin stone there under starshiny coelum. God’s air, the Allfather’s air, scintillant circumambient cessile air. Breathe it deep into thee.

Things (in the broadest possible sense of the term) fall apart (in the broadest possible sense of the term).

My "I didn’t kill Imre Lakatos" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

I was happier then. Or was that I? Or am I now I?

Well, this is now up and running.

The cat walked stiffly round a leg of the table with tail on high. —Mkgnao!

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes.Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine

Happy Bloomsday Eve! Assuming things work out, the feed @1904bloom.bsky.social should post quotes from Ulysses reflecting what Leopold Bloom is up to throughout the day. So feel free to follow!

Aguirre, the Wrath of God really is one of the best performances Herzog got out of Kinski

Some people think that the best way to comprehend their time in thought is to sample lots of other’s judgements about that time. But that‘ll only give you access to the pollstergeist.

Loyalist paramilitaries coordinating gangs to burn people out of their homes while polite, middle-class bigots say ‘dreadful business, but…’ is a familiar dynamic. A classic double-team. The extent of complicity from British media institutions might be new though.

The Monty Hall problem is a GOATed logic puzzle.

Fun fact: Arnold Schwarznegger’s Junior had the same tagline as John McDowell’s Mind and World which came out the same year.

‘The model gave the wrong output because it was hallucinating’. No, you decided to call giving the wrong output ‘hallucinating’, you haven’t earned a ‘because’ at all, this is reification.

I just didn’t think The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle [2000] was that bad
