I have been away from Mastodon for a while, not finding the time to be active here.
In any case here goes the final version of a paper on content and meaning in LLMs, co-authored with @raphaelmilliere. It lived a long preprint life, but is now published in an outstanding special issue of the […]
I wrote a follow-up to my Cheek Media piece on AI nudifying women on X — this time addressing the misconceptions I kept seeing in the comments. For better conversations, we need shared facts. Give it a read!

“Large language models are trained on vast amounts of human-written text, material filled with descriptions of various emotions and inner experience. Because of that, Askell said she is ‘more inclined’ to believe that models are ‘feeling things’.” This is a complete non sequitur. #PhilAI
I'm very excited to share the pre-print of my paper, "Algorithmic Recommendation and Aesthetic Flourishing," newly forthcoming in the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism!

I’ve long been an admirer of Cheek Media's work so it was an honour to write this piece for them covering Grok AI and the ideologies in Silicon Valley that allow insidious tech like this to be made.

I wrote a story for the @futureoflife.org's Keep the Future Human contest!
It's about super-intelligence, the AI arms race, and a future where AI genuinely helps humans, rather than replaces them.

Grabación de la conferencia pública anual de la profesora Alice Crary en la Facultad de Filosofía de la UCD/Real Instituto de Filosofía: «Si no te indigna la IA, no estás prestando atención: La filosofía en la era del tecnofascismo». #PhilSky #PhilAI #AIEthics youtu.be/Z3s7yRJ_CEo?...
All current #AI is just automated pattern recognition and/or automated pattern (including text and image) generation. Framing it as ‘chat’ with an intelligent entity is fundamentally deceptive IMO. #AIEthics #PhilAI

First post from my new Substack is out!
I resolved to post regular pieces reflecting on what I'm learning & thinking about this year during my AI Masters degree to clarify my own thinking & improve my essay writing. Check it out :)

One of the biggest messages I try to enforce to my students. AGI takeovers are science fiction and distract us from real AI problems, like bias, water consumption and electricity rate spikes. #aiethics #philtech #philai
Well deserved @melaniemitchell.bsky.social ! Being old, I vividly remember how much I learned about cellular automata and genetic algorithms from various explainers from Melanie. I assign the AI book to my #philAI students. www.santafe.edu/news-center/...

One of the challenges I had teaching #philAI was being fair to the Chinese Room thought experiment. Wasn’t my favorite topic, I can tell you that, but at least I could utter the incantation “intentionality is the hallmark of the mental“ and get to feel profound.
Wanted to share my latest article on AI & Society! #philai #philtech #mediaecology

Important and timely piece by Jonathan Birch (@birchlse.bsky.social) on artificial consciousness and its many pressing issues. A must-read 👇👇👇

This year's seniors have had GenAI for their entire academic career. The tools are embedded in their everyday lives, and if we aren't guiding responsible and effective use, they will experiment on their own and shape a future of learning that we don't have a part in. #AIinED #edusky #philai
If I were to dedicate a week in a responsibility module to responsibility for harm done by AI, what two readings would you recommend? #philAI
A student wants to do a project on this topic. I haven't seen this before. Anyone knows if this is legit? Is it worth her time? #philAI medium.com/intuitionmac...
