I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

"... and will you once and for all denounce white supremacy, you have 60 seconds" is an insane thing to hear in a public debate (and it's even more insane that in response Collins talks about everything but that)

but maybe the real issue is the structure of ownership of these platforms. In the end, the differences in media between X and Pravda may be superficial compared to how similar the goals of the people behind them are

Sure, and I also understand the problem with RFK Jr. spreading bullshit is the lack of accountability. Yet I can't help but feel like there is a distinct way in which social media platforms have incentivized and facilitated disinformation...

Nice, didn't know how it came to have its present-day association. It's a fairly similar story to the inverted cross, which in traditional iconography was associated with St. Peter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_o...

just to clarify, my annoyance is not that participants will be laboring for peanuts, but that doing this while publishers and AI companies have whole teams dedicated to finding new ways of squeezing even more value out of our work cannot benefit philosophy as a discipline

000

Krys Dolega @krysdolega.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

but what annoys me the most (at least rn) is the seeming absence of any reflection on how setting a prize pool of $5,000 for "creative methodologies" used to generate the essays is basically doing the work of AI companies for them at a fraction of the cost that they would pay their employees

150

Krys Dolega @krysdolega.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

plus setting a condition that "essays must be primarily AI-generated, though some human guidance is allowed" is so vague as to be basically useless and meaningless...

Krys Dolega @krysdolega.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I have a lot of pretty nasty thoughts about the "first AI philosophy" essay competition, but I'll restrain myself to saying that it'd be nice if philosophers stopped bending over backwards to get the attention of big tech companies...

1. This was meant as a joke 2. Whenever someone tells you that everyone else is lost and they are the one who knows the true way, a little bit of skepticism is in order

Academic freedom is not freedom from the consequences of shitty fucking inquiry nor is it freedom to be ignorant of the context in which you perform your inquiry. No inquiry is value neutral, nor can it escape from history as part of the material conditions that make inquiry possible.
