of course.. they gave it to him and not me.
David Wallace on AI in Peer Review: Practices & Policies
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…
David Wallace on AI in Peer Review: Practices & Policies
That’s my (4): no objection in principle but it is probably sensible to draw a bright line.

Surreptitiously
Michael on A Philosopher Among the MacArthur Fellows
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

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…
