My favourite account of trust points out that it allows ‘comfortable defocusing’: trust allows you to take your mind off something and give your attention to other things.
This is why trusting AI is so dangerous at the moment. We must not defocus.

Here is the short and pretty version of a paper I published at the beginning of the year in which I argue that sleeping is valuable aesthetically, interpersonally and intrinsically. Happy to say that a short book on this topic is forthcoming with Princeton U press. #philsky #philosophy #sleeping
In a culture that prizes efficiency, sleep is often seen as a waste of time, or something to ‘hack’. But, as @saraprotasi.bsky.social argues, sleep is more than just a tool for higher productivity; it is intrinsically valuable and has its own aesthetic pleasures to be enjoyed
Sleep is not just a physical need but a delicious pleasure | Aeon Essays
The idea that we should reduce sleep to an efficient minimum in our lives gets something fundamentally wrong
