Now with all the official stuff taken care of, I can freely share that I was fortunate enough to secure a TT position for Fall '25 at the University of Texas-Arlington. Very thankful to @johnfsymons.bsky.social @sarahrobins.bsky.social, Brad Cokelet, @coreymaley.net & KU Phil. #philtech #philsky
Can we have close relationships with AI? In this new DatOS episode, Oluwaseun Sanwoolu walks us through her paper (w @johnfsymons.bsky.social) on why we are simply mistaken if we think we can. Hint: itβs our human limitations that make things special.

Super proud of my former student RamΓ³n Alvarado discussing ethics of AI in public facing and highly accessible ways. He elegantly models how philosophy can be conducted at the highest levels of excellence while still being accessible and urgently relevant.
I had the chance to talk about philosophy & AI w Ben Yelin about close personal relationships, social agency & AI. My part starts at min 26It's an introduction to some of the recent work that I've done together with Oluwaseun Damilola Sanwoolu and Syed Abumusab. open.spotify.com/episode/6lqZ...
Lovely visit to University of Oregon. A delight to see RamΓ³n and to talk philosophy with his brilliant and lively departmental community
Recent paper with Oluwaseun Damilola Sanwoolu : "Close Personal Relationships with People and Artifacts? Loneliness, Agent-Relative Obligations, and Artificially Intelligent Companions" is finally accepted for publication at Philosophy &Technology. johnsymons.net/wp-content/uplβ¦
When we wrote about this issue related to computer simulations, @johnfsymons.bsky.social and I used an analogy to oracle worshipers. Itβs OK, but itβs definitely not epistemologically hygienic scientific practice. AI is even more opaque.
Nice write up of our History and Philosophy of Materialism volume here news.ku.edu/news/article...
