It’s a strange kind of nostalgia I feel when I long for the future I thought in the past that the present would be.

We won’t be exterminated by the cunning brilliance of artificial intelligence but by the malevolent greed of human stupidity.

People often ask me if I use LLMs to write. My answer is always the same: I do not. They are not my intended audience.

I’m not super familiar with this kind of work in x-phi, but you may want to explore work in experimental game theory as well as work from Cristina Bicchieri, at UPenn. She has an amazing book called “Norms in the wild” that could be helpful.

Brilliant to meet with Thomas Piketty at the Paris School of Economics. We discussed monetary and fiscal policy, bond markets, the climate crisis and global wealth taxes. Also recorded a podcast for @boldpolitics.bsky.social - out soon!
Thomas and Zack sat on the steps of the Paris school of economics

I agree. This claim is problematic for a number of reasons. Fwiw, I wrote about this claim in my comment to Anil’s BBS paper: felipedebrigard.substack.com/p/vitalism-i...

Vitalism in the age of AI
Is biological naturalism committed to some sort of "élan consciente"?

This World Cup has managed to make FIFA look even more corrupt. It’s so disheartening

Si, eso pasa. A la gente le cuesta trabajo los apellidos compuestos de dos palabras. Me gustaría ver el syllabus final! Yo dicto una clase de pre grado que se llama “filosofía y neurociencia” y me encanta ver que lecturas enseñan otros con clases semejantes. Si quieres te envío el mío.
