I wrote "I'm in pain" with a Sharpie on a piece of paper, and put it on a Xerox machine. What happened after I pressed a button will BLOW YOUR MIND.

Constantly screaming “everything has always been this bad and it’s never gotten better and only the privileged don’t see it” to your 100k followers doesn’t help anyone, even if it is your brand.

Kinda wild that we're simultaneously the "most people can't get a paper reviewed in less than a year" discipline and the "you need like 15 papers, all in top-10 journals, to get a job at a fancy school" discipline

Sometimes, you got to find protected time and spaces (e.g. while doing the dishes in the kitchen while blasting music at full volume) to cry your guts out without alarming the people around you

🧠 Is hierarchical reasoning uniquely human, or do we share this capacity across species and development? Our new paper in Cognition, "Flexibility of hierarchical reasoning across age and species," explores how humans and non-humans flexibly deploy recursive strategies! 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Today, we have a concurrent announcement of the public execution of a human (livestreamed, no less) and the decree that one must not be cruel to a software system. Is the anthropomorphisation of AI a vector for the dehumanisation of actual humans? Either way, this is all getting very desolate

A lesser absurdity is that we Philosophers should be at least somewhat competent at comforting people in trying times, but we mostly suck at it. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Social media doesn't just feed you bad information. It trains you in how to treat information: who to trust, how much evidence is enough, what counts as a good explanation. And it trains you for a world that doesn't exist. New @PPR (yay!) and free here: philpapers.org/rec/FLOBMS

One thing I wish people understood is that a President doesn't make every stupid, evil, or bad decision on his own. He hires a big bunch of stupid, evil, bad people to make the stupid, evil, bad decisions for him, and that is *actually worse*.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

In Denmark a scientist plotted data and research findings into Claude, only to see Anthropic publish the findings as something the LLM had conjured up on its own. The theft of one scientist’s data and work translates into false claims about the model’s ability to generate research #ai #eupol

Wondering if now, when we're all talking about advice we would give grad students, would be the time to say that I think, in general, the standard model we use for graduate school training is basically completely out of date and borderline-useless for getting a research job

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

TBH it’s not about the “warm sound”, but the rather subversive fact that you have a physical object in your hands that demands care and respect, and commands your attention in a way. You don’t spin a record as background noise, you *actively listen* to it… and active listening is becoming a lost art

I’ve noticed that, lately, Instagram suggests songs to go with your pictures that are suspiciously on point, and I wonder if it is because iOS now introduces hidden metadata about the contents of them or Meta's algorithm has become insanely and fast at tagging the content of your pictures.

As a rule of thumb, the people who are most enthusiastic about #GenAI are those who are least committed to truth, accuracy and expertise in their own lives. In short, they have similar characteristics to an LLM, and assume everyone else does too. #Enshittification
