Anyone around here make handmade art? I want to see it! I'll start: I have a friend who has to spend a lot of time away from her dog, and I'm making a collage portrait of the two of them. (Don't tell her! It's a surprise. But please show me what YOU'RE making.)

WHOA whoa whoa. "Relies" on ""metaphysics"" is actually a slur unless said from within the community.

william pencil saying it's hard to come up with definitions of "understanding" that both 1. include humans but exclude AI and 2. do not rely on metaphysics

You don't understand scale. (15 marigold blossoms --> 1,000 seeds)

I met a tiny brown frog today, and he lives in my mom's flower box, and his name is Dan Brown.

frog the size of a thumbnail among clover and pansies

frog so tiny you can hardly spot him in the sticks and flowers

Read the Daily Nous article about PPA publishing a largely Claude-generated paper, and I cannot get over these last two paragraphs. ""The tool I'm voluntarily giving over my work to is going to destroy my profession and way of life."" Maybe don't help it do that then??

screenshot from Daily Nous guest post that says: The Future of Writing Philosophy
I suspect that in the next few years, AIs will be able to write philosophy papers without the help of a human PhD supervisor. At that point, human philosophy professors will have to find new tasks to perform. Maybe the whole job will be focused on undergraduate teaching, until AIs automate teaching. In the meantime, I hope to spend my time as a philosophy professor doing a mix of writing papers on my own and writing papers as a “PhD supervisor” for AIs.

Soon, AI will cause significant increases in the number of good philosophy papers submitted to journals. For the journal system to continue, journals must soon develop new AI-based refereeing tools, like Refine in economics, in order for journals to keep up. That said, once the number of good papers gets too large, the journal system as we know it will probably collapse.

Looking forward to teaching on genetic enhancements this week, because it means I get to show my students this very real list of baby names that was advertised to me.

finally someone had the courage to ban all unauthorized outdoor burning

post by Washington State Department of Natural Resources that says 'Statewide burn ban. As part of his proclamation of a wildfire emergency today, Governor Ferguson banned all unauthorized outdoor burning across Washington."

There were lots of good moments at NASSP x CSWIP, but one of my favorites was when Quill and Rowan Bell asked the trans bartender about their queer night, and she responded, "You aren't gay, are you?"

Did I mention that I designed the swag for this year's NASSP x CSWIP conference? The image in black is from a linocut.

Tote bag that says "care joy + resistance" with an image of a woman carrying a mountain over her shoulder and a baby in her arms. Below in text too small to read it says the names of the organizations that put on the conference.
