This was the most meta episode I've ever done: interviewing an academic podcast host who also interviews academics about podcasting and academics. A blast in theory and practice!

The AI Con is witty, smart, and accessible. It's exactly what interdisciplinary scholarship aspires to be: a more nuanced perspective on problems. In this case, the problems posed by AI may be symptomatic of broader economic + political trends.

Just finished. Very good and interesting! It’s true that analytic philosophy is nerdy as hell, but it can also be cool 😎

It was a privilege to interview Justin about code speech, political speech, aesthetic assertions, epistemic advantages, philosophy and narrative, and our current political (dis)order.

Tomayto Tomahto • Stochastic Parrots and the Information Ecosystem with Emily Bender • Podcast Addict There’s a lot that I can say about Emily Bender, but I think that a philosophy professor of mine said it best when he described her as the “cutting edge of technology and AI and linguistics and ethics.” Obviously some of her cutting-edge-ness concomitantly stems from the cutting-edge-ness of large language models, deep fakes, and 'artificial intelligence' inventions.

One of the highlights for me at #LSA2024 was getting to meet Talia Sherman, host of the podcast Tomayto Tomahto --- so it was super fun to follow up with an interview for that same podcast. You can find the episode now on your favorite podcatcher. Here's the link for Podcast Addict.
