Happy birthday, Judith Shklar! 2013 übersetzte ich "Der Liberalismus der Furcht" und seitdem insgesamt sieben Bücher von ihr. Und ein paar gibt es noch. (Die Kacheln sind vom Verlag, der auf Bluesky nicht vertreten ist.)

The old line that analytic philosophy is answering questions that come naturally to toddlers via methods that come naturally to lawyers remains undefeated.

Hätte nicht gedacht, dass sowas wie die Mamdani-Hass-Kampagne in Europa denkbar wäre. Was die etablierten Medien gerade wegen Berlin abziehen, übertrifft das fast noch: Weil es aus der Mitte kommt. Wie könnt ihr das supporten, «liberale» und «konservative» Mitbürger:innen?

So we are back at the "open letter" stage? As I wrote two years ago, the "AI risk" is a red herring; we should rather be worried by the privatization of language and fear a "synthetic public sphere" that comes with it. For whoever controls language models controls politics.

The discussion of "style" in LLMs from a linguistic perspective Simon Meier-Vieracker presents, is fascinating; it also shows that a complex notion of style that is not predicated on intention is still pending: dp.jfml.org/wp-content/u...
