Reposted by Anti-KauppinenSara Protasi @saraprotasi.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Miranda Fricker defended a minimalist view of blame that would allow us to see the good in each other. Antti Kauppinen’s talk focused on the connection between loving relationships and meaning in life. 131
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Flattering Trump is the only way to get him on your side. So we should praise many of his ideas about Gaza. It's a good thing if the US takes on a major role in reconstruction and economic development there, constraining Israel. And unlike displacing the Palestinians, it's a realistic possibility. 010
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 28/11/2024I've read Iris Murdoch's Sovereignty of the Good many times since I was a student, and re-read it again today. What a brilliant little book! Aptly, it rewards loving attention, revealing new riches each time you look at it from a different angle. 030
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 20/11/2024...but when I started the next section, it was "ah, this shite again", and I jumped to #6 to confirm it was probably the same pattern. 000
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 20/11/2024But I neither knew nor expected that to be the case, but had to figure it out on the basis of the poems themselves without knowing how many of each there would be etc. As soon as I got to poem #6, I saw it was strikingly different. Even then I started the next section expecting a different pattern. 100
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 20/11/2024On the other hand, people who have looked at unlabeled poems in the materials of the paper have also arrived at the same verdict about the AI ones. (By 'people' I mean me.) 110
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 13/11/2024that may have misleadingly suggested I was a New Yorker myself. There is little doubt that, circumstances notwithstanding, swearing at someone with reduced mobility was bad behavior. But was I to blame for it? Suppose, perhaps contrary to fact, that such behavior was entirely uncharacteristic of me 000
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 13/11/2024We were just about to enter an elevator when someone pushed an elderly woman in a wheelchair past us, leaving no room for our pram. Before the elevator doors closed behind the offenders, I lost my precarious cool and uttered a few choice words, and possibly even made a one-finger gesture [...] 100
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 12/11/2024I find them more annoying than not seeing, which causes trouble e.g. when I'm building something... 020
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Thanks, Anna! This might be too public for music - though we have a couple of gigs coming up, maybe there's some nice videos... 010
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 06/11/2024It's a nice illustration of how there can be normative centers of gravity that exert a pull on people without the need for coordination. 110
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 06/11/2024This morning, I decided that it was high time to quit Musk's Twitter (where I never posted anyway) and urged others to do the same. I find it a pretty interesting phenomenon that so many people over here seem to have independently arrived at the same conclusion at the same time. 180
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 30/10/2023Only goes to show how rarely I do this - I didn't recognize my username... 110
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 16/10/2023Me (though that's not much of an omission, since I rarely log in so far). 110
Anti-Kauppinen @dasman.bsky.social · 05/10/2023Listened to an interview with Zeke Faux (not the best name for an investigative reporter) about Sam Bankman-Fried. Maybe the most outrageous thing: FTX, which had at most 300 employees, apparently spent $1.5B of customer money on expenses. That is, on average $5 mil per worker on *expenses*! How? 260
