A couple of weeks ago, a piece of slop I created went viral (well, a little bit) ... now I've followed it up with a new paper: "What is AI Slop? An Explication" - open access at www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... - feel free to circulate! #philsky #AIslop
I asked ChatGPT to create a cover for a course catalogue of a "university for people who have given up thinking due to AI over-reliance". To be fair, this is a pretty good take -- and more subtle than I expected... #aislop #criticalthinking #deskillling #chatGPT #philsky

World Philosophy Day is next month. It's a good excuse for an event with students, majors, or the general public. What is your department doing to mark the day?

My colleague Jessica Brown and I wrote a Biographical Memoir of Katherine Hawley for the British Academy. It was a very difficult thing to write, but I benefited immensely from reading everything she wrote on metaphysics and Phil Science. www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/publishing/m...

Another example of #OpenAI lying for its IPO, like #AGI #AILaunch etc. "OpenAI said it led a coalition of researchers that discovered the flaw and claimed “frontier AI” had been key. The researchers who found the weakness, however, said they used models available to the public."

Protesto está marcado para as 17h em frente à sede do Governo. Representantes estudantis contestam a intenção de descongelar o valor das propinas, que não sofre alterações desde 2020.

Quem estava acampado no Porto e em Lisboa pedia o que a Constituição promete: uma casa que se possa pagar. A resposta foi a polícia de madrugada e um debate parlamentar travado na secretaria. A direita no poder pensa que se deixarmos de falar de habitação o problema desaparece?
Estive agora junto ao Rossio, em Lisboa, para perceber o que aconteceu na última madrugada. O direito à manifestação tem de ser preservado e já é hora de os partidos políticos apresentarem soluções para os anseios destas pessoas. No que depender do LIVRE, assim faremos.

My recent book AI and Consciousness: A Skeptical Overview is free online today and tomorrow (through Oct 19, presumably UK time). I don't think the hard copy is available yet. Get it while it's free! www.cambridge.org/core/element...

"A violência policial não tem justificação quando o alvo são umas dezenas de manifestantes pacíficos, que não podem ser acusados de nenhuma provocação em particular, com direito a perseguição pelas ruas e 37 feridos."
"Chamar egoísta, como fez Luís Montenegro, a alguém que pernoita numa tenda ou ao relento para defender os interesses e os direitos de quem não tem casa é indecoroso." www.publico.pt/2026/10/15/o...

Over 36,000 strong and growing, there has never been a better time to move your #Bluesky account to #Eurosky! Developed and hosted within the EU, rather than the US, Eurosky is subject to EU data protection and privacy laws. Plus a eurosky.social, mu.social or custom handle… What’s not to like?

young men (18-29) who spend >5 hours a day on social media are more likely to agree that advancing women’s and girls’ rights has gone too far than those who don’t use social media as much. no difference detected among young women. @eurcorrespond.bsky.social

Post-Gettier #epistemology may have yielded a picture of #knowledge that is both historiographically & philosophically misleading—or so Maria Rosa Antognazza argued in her posthumous book. Check out postdoctoral fellow Boaz Schuman’s review of the📘! 👇 philarchive.org/rec/SCHHIL-3 #philsky #HPS
