Wow! Intriguing issue about whether consent to upload previously collected data for LLM analysis was obtained brought up at the #Ethics Panel with @mainomenous.bsky.social, #ChrisKoenig faculty.sfsu.edu/~cjkoenig, # SepidahModrek faculty.sfsu.edu/~smodrek, and #ZainabAgha cs.sfsu.edu/people/zaina...

Image shows ethics panel presenting at symposium. There is one man at the podium on the right side of the image, speaking into the microphone. There are two people seated at the table, one man and one woman. There is one woman participating online/Zoom whose image is behind the seated panelists on the wall.

In addition to conceptualizing AI and offering a regulatory framework, the paper discusses the critical components of attention, arguing that attention requires interests. "Interests" have gone out of fashion in philosophy of mind, but we make the case for their centrality. The paper is open access!

In hyping up the potential future capacities of AI we are losing track of what it means for us now, losing the chance to best make use of its power. Should AI companies be able to extract from the collective without compensation? Should users be able to use the collective without acknowledgement?...

Do you ever wish you had a tool that would allow you to combine your mind with others? In this *just published* paper @mainomenous.bsky.social and I argue that AI is a tool that enables collective attention, rejecting the idea that it is a standalone agent + philosophymindscience.org/index.php/ph...

In my opinion, as far as cluster concepts go, "consciousness" is a messier concept than "attention." But I think we need to talk about this from both an empirical and theoretical point of view.

Carlos Montemayor @mainomenous.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Thanks Tuomas. I think that even if attention turns out to be a cluster concept, it is still useful in thinking about different cognitive functions, some of which might be more essential for consciousness than others.

New publication with Azenet Lopez on the difference between consciousness and attention within the Integrated Information Theory. We believe that analyzing this issue across views can help us advance the debate on the nature of consciousness: rdcu.be/egj8T #consciousness #attention #information
