your move, BarillAI

Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious

We will continue to make two-dimensional maps. Because your mind can't handle the truth.

Nice to see academic philosophy x AI getting attention these days. Let me ride that wave and ask a non-Ethics Q: what's the current landscape like wrt LLM's implications on Universal Grammar & Innateness Hypothesis? The only things I seem to recall seeing are op-eds in magazines.

Springer journal sites seem to be down. I don't think I've run into that before.

Not being able to correctly type "intuitionistic" was much less of a problem when I was not writing about intuitionsitic logic

MMT was not a going theory in economics. It was as heterodox as climate denial science. But politicians liked it nonetheless

c'mon, it's not like the deliverances of economics are so unequivocal that "politician believes the wrong economic theory and makes mistake" is science denial. is it science denial when a politician listens to John Cochrane about stimulus?

What is the context where it looks like left wing science denial is the cause of lots of problems? I’m not sure what you’re responding to.

That’s clarifying. As it written it is not great, but if it is a common framing then I’ll leave it.

In the wider context screenshot that was shared, it says there are four forms of conditional inference. This also looks bad unless there is some additional context on why they would say that.

Shots fired into their feet?

I get this as a response, but is it distinctively too much? Like more than other odd beliefs one might have

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.

The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.

We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

This was a great wikipedia article. I hadn't encountered that before, but it is a neat phenomenon

Abilene paradox - Wikipedia

In class today I discussed the Abilene Paradox but in my (very good) Texan drawl, and I can tell you that my students were NOT PREPARED FOR IT. (If they came to office hours, they'd know I have a cowboy hat, and a TX license plate hanging on my wall.)

I'm fine with it as long as veloci-Lewis has a rocking beard

I get that a lot of philosophers find Lewis's modal realism implausible, but I don't get why it is a distinctively implausible view

Bold joke, committing one to the necessity of origins being false

Who defends this one?

I'm inclined to say no, but I suspect it might depend on the details of either counterpart theory or trans-world identity. That's really above my pay grade though.

Possible Kevin is into the idea

Is modal realism that weird?

Hi Bluesky! Suppose I was feeling brave and wanted to learn about how we/kids develop event cognitive capacities. Where should I start?

I saw you give a version of that at UniMelb. It's good to hear that it was published, although I'm sorry to hear that there hasn't been much uptake (yet?)

WAIT THEY CAN DRESS UP THE ZAMBONIS WHY DONT ALL THE TEAMS DO THIS

If you want a follow up, On the Beach is a fictional story about the aftermath of

Officially published! The three of us agreed to start writing this book together almost exactly three years ago, and I'm delighted that it's available. #MathSky

These two objections seem persuasive to me. What’s the downside of counting those papers in your output? Experts can always look at the papers you claim and they can evaluate the relative weight of consortium papers.

How else will their voices be heard?
