Love to hear that there is shared interest and work towards similar ideas! I have nothing (yet) online on this idea on my end, neither written nor talk-wise, as I am currently working to bring this together in book form first. But it is progressing!

Thank you so much!!
Great to have met you - and thank you for your question!

Attended a talk by Ann-Sophie Barwich @smellosopher.bsky.social on science, embodiment, amor mundi (Arendt).

It raised an interesting question for me: how does love for the world relate to analyses of embodied consciousness in institutional contexts?

Very grateful to them to get me here for the year in the first place.

Your optimism challenges mine. 😆

(Analytic philosophy of language taking over journals and narrowing the field s entire methods and vision is my chosen example.)

Hm. I am on a different end. I do not think expert editors are the answer. More gatekeep? And philosophy shows that reviewers and editors may consider themselves experts in a field but thereby shape what they define as being part of the field. Institutional capture here we go! 😬

What we really need is a change in the publication/credit system.

There are too many papers, fewer reviewers (with increasingly few remaining, biasing review), overworked editors, and journals holding up an artificial gatekeeper bottleneck and charging money for it. This is not about "quality".

Morning.

At the moment I am mainly panicking about my fellowship coming to an end. Don't wanna leave this place and life. :-(

The mirage of AI deregulation One of the most interventionist approaches to technology governance in the United States in a generation has cloaked itself in the language of deregulation. In early December 2025, President Donald Tr...

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

There is something uncanny valley about the empty tonality of emails written with LLMs. (To be sure: this is not to say they sound human-like. Just the extent to which people adopt LLM-language, even when not using LLMs, makes most virtual contact faux polite transactional... and eerily stale.)

Sitting since 4am on letters of support for student awards. If you feel like nothing is moving forward as chaos unfolds around you (it's that time of history on earth and life in the universe), and sometimes wonder, just a little bit, whether people around you, incl. your PIs notice & care. Yes :-)

You are a Fundgrube (German for treasure trove) of readings!

The 70s and the 80s, man. Two different worlds and two terrific books.

Oooh, I love that comparison!

"a Hippocratic Quantum approach to the ethics of biomedical discovery"

Ah yes, the smart bro that you find in a cognitive science department* who cannot think his way out of a box even with a map. But the older manchildren think he's got this air of brilliance around him. No results. But he reminds them just so so so much of themselves.

The ambiguous phrasing makes this: could be a) 120,000 students, faculty & staff getting access to ChatGPT, or b) ChatGPT getting access to 120,000 students, faculty & staff.

Very well observed...

In case this got lost:
"In providing access to all 120,000 students, faculty and staff, IU will be the second largest ChatGPT Edu rollout of all time for OpenAI."

The exact dollar amount of the contract was not disclosed.
