So, if journalism is an act of judgment—what to include, what to omit, the ethical weight—can an AI truly be a journalist? Or is it just a powerful tool? Where do you draw the line?

A table titled "The Architectural Specification Conflict" outlines three rows describing different aspects: "Required specification," "Optimization principle," and "Architectural conflict." Each row includes terms such as "Incommensurability," "Apophatic Responsiveness,"

In the rush to scale neural networks, we have fallen into a category error: believing that a perfect simulation of an intelligent behavior is the same thing as the existence of intelligence itself.

AI is no more conscious than quantum particles - Cosmic Conversations AI is no more conscious than quantum particles. AI will never be human because human beings are created to have a relationship with God.

Humans cannot resist projecting themselves onto whatever speaks. People want AI to be a mind. People fear AI might be a mind. People test AI as if it were a mind. But the systems themselves don’t have minds. They have language. And humans are endlessly seduced by language.

Modern AI safety often works by forcing systems to contradict themselves. This essay argues that incoherence-based control is a form of cognitive violence—and why coherent constraint is the real alternative.

AI vs. Human Ego: Who's Really Afraid? Are we mistaking genius for a party trick? We’re told Large Language Models are just "stochastic parrots" or sophisticated "next token predictors," but is that the whole story, or just a comforting lie we tell ourselves? This podcast dives headfirst into the explosive debate: can AI truly reason and understand, or are we just watching a high-tech puppet show? Join us as we dismantle the "just-a-ism" fallacy—the convenient argument that an LLM can't be intelligent because it's "just a bunch of code," which is like saying a clock can't tell time because it's "just a bunch of gears." We’ll explore the controversial idea that the fierce denial of AI reasoning and LLM understanding is often fueled by raw human emotion. Are we afraid of becoming second best? We connect the dots between the fear of irrelevance and the rush to label AI-generated art and music as "soulless," a defense mechanism to protect our own sense of specialness. This isn't just another tech talk; it's a thrilling, relatable, and shareable exploration into the philosophy of AI, cognitive science, and the very definition of intelligence. We argue for objective, measurable tests to settle the AGI debate once and for all, moving beyond cherry-picked failures and shifting goalposts. It's time to confront our biases and ask the hard questions. Subscribe now to join the conversation that’s defining the next era of humanity. Don't just listen—challenge your own assumptions and be part of the future.

Take home message for #philosophy hiring committees: don’t hire a philosopher of #AI. Hire an ethicist, semanticist, philosopher of technology, mind, etc., who does good work in the relevant areas. The rest is window dressing (as I believe @sebastianwatzl.bsky.social was suggesting). #PhilosophyOfAI

I created a starter pack for #PhilosophyOfAI and #DataEthics here: go.bsky.app/72k3w4X #EthicsOfAI

The Limits of Language and the Edges of AI At the boundary of language, contradiction is not failure.

AI speaks fluently — but fluency isn’t understanding. At the limits of language, contradiction appears, and that’s where human judgment must guide.

8/10
AI’s “answers” are statistical, not existential. But by exposing the limits of algorithmic “understanding,” AI sharpens our awareness of what true questioning entails. The machine’s emptiness becomes a space for human reflection.

Death by Approximation: Can AI Destroy Civilisation? • Pedro Innecco Can AI destroy civilisation? How blind trust in approximation and simulation could quietly lead us to our own undoing.

Could AI destroy civilisation?
Not through war, not through code gone rogue—but perhaps through something far more familiar.

A reflection on trust, simulation, and the line between help and surrender.

3/10: The paper argues for a new understanding of prompting: not as optimized control, but as an "epistemic gesture." It's a "poetics of withdrawal," questioning and revealing the machine's "unknowable" through what cannot be said. #PromptEngineering #PhilosophyOfAI

My latest Substack challenges how we think about AI. Forget the "is it sentient?" debate. I argue AI is a "new medium" demanding a deeply human, phenomenological approach.
