Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Agree, but such AI could easily lead us to believe anything with very convincing arguments, for whatever reason. Are we prepared for that? 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 10/07/2026The day AGI explains to us how and why we are already simulated entities, will we believe its claim? #philsky 110
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I cant really see any difference between Kolak’s open individualism and Zuboff’s universalism (I have spent much time with both) so why not conjoin them under the label open universalism? 👍 #philsky 010

Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 08/04/2026My point is just that we find the bird song beautiful, but it's a sound of life and death for the birds.. 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 24/03/2026and isn’t the main point of a PhD primarily to contribute to the research community, rather than mainly to learn new things? 000
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 24/03/2026But if you manage to get a PhD by writing prompts, then the prompts you chose must have been "pretty" impressive? 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I don't like this thought, but what if God finds our song beautiful the same way we find birdsong? #philsky 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 08/12/2025After reading your question, I wanted to answer “no” and develop an argument for why they wouldn’t have had PTSD. But as the previous speaker said, there is no reason to think they couldn’t have had it. With that said, I don’t think they had as much trouble with mental illness as we do today. 000
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Indian food, and just subtract the meat (if any), and there you go. 110

Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 03/11/2025I think the monarchy in Europe has around 50 years left. 000
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 24/10/2025No, not really.. I don't know... maybe the hat, different hats. 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 23/10/2025More important: how do you tell a Nazi from a pirate? 🧐 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Sant, men gör ju saken ännu värre om du frågar mig 010
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Såg det och fick en liten shock. Trodde det var mer förnuft och mindre högmod hos Andersson. 000

Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 10/09/2025"How generative AI is forcing university professors to rethink learning" Isn't that good in som sense? There was a time when we were just trained to memorize and retell, a time for writing, and now something else? 000
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Dogs are pets, and pigs rarely are. But those who do keep pigs as pets, probably treat them much like a dog. 000
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 10/09/2025An important skill for a philosopher is being able to describe simple things in a much more complicated way. #Philsky 241

Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 29/08/2025"The Enlightenment, in its positive aspect, was a hubbub of vanity without a firm core. It obtained a core in its negative procedure by grasping its own negativity." or "The Enlightenment was shallow when creating new ideas, but strong when criticizing old ones." 100
Ola Nilsson @olaniklas.bsky.social · 28/08/2025We start to write in a way that is so easy and accessibly that it doesn't matter if it was done by man or not. A new kind of language arises. 100
