The ‘supervisor’s idea that writing philosophy papers is about efficiently “performing a task” and that “human philosophy professors will have to find new tasks to perform” is the saddest shit I’ve ever heard a philosopher say. Why did he even bother with philosophy? Just be an accountant it’s fine

Wharton researchers coined 'cognitive surrender' to describe what happens when people let AI think for them
A Wharton study found people accepted wrong AI answers 80% of the time, as apps like Moot now let five AI personas vote on your life decisions.

"The question is whether the industry will treat cognitive surrender as a design flaw worth fixing or as an engagement metric worth optimising." I'm sure given how responsibly the tech industry has managed social media algorithms that chatbot lifecoaching will go swimmingly for humanity.

of anger against injustice, 
and the flame of hope you 
can build a better world."
