Administrative Note

August 16, 2017

Dear readers, posting at Daily Nous will be on the rather light side for the remainder of the week.

Feel free to email me with news, but note that responses to site-related emails may be somewhat delayed, too.

I need a bit of a break, that’s all.

If you want something to do to pass the time, feel free to post a link to a good song (just one—don’t be a hog) in the comments.

Here’s a good one…

Let’s stipulate that Dropbox genuinely has no ties to AI companies. What about using Gmail or OneDrive? I don’t see how one could consistently (e.g.) abjure using Gemini…

That’s my (4): no objection in principle but it is probably sensible to draw a bright line.

Yes, memory is narrative storytelling using context triggered neurological networks. Freud speculated about memory traces, Friston called the Bayesian probability clouds.
Luca Barlassina on A Philosopher Among the MacArthur Fellows

And if evidence of bad behavior from Dropbox comes to light, I'll trust them less than I do at the moment. Many of us have used Dropbox for…

Just on point 2. I don't really think that editors are asking for reviewers to know what *you* think of it in a way that excludes what you…
Sander Verhaegh on Analytic Philosophy and McCarthyism: A New Look (guest post)
Thanks Conner, interesting suggestion! I guess the list of philosophers targeted by Red hunters is too short to draw any firm conclusions. But even this short list does…
Protrepticus on New Study on AI’s Philosophical Skills
“What exactly do you mean by…?” There is a potential demarcation problem here. Before asking whether AI can ‘do philosophy’, we need some account of what counts as…
Conner Schultz on Analytic Philosophy and McCarthyism: A New Look (guest post)
Thanks, Sander—this was an interesting read, and I appreciate you bringing (much needed) archival data to bear on this debate. Some aspects of the McCarthyist thesis have long…
