Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #584,217! I hope this place keeps growing and we can stay away from the other place completely. Well... unless the same happens to this..

Finished!! When I came to KU I told myself I wanted to finish in 5 yrs, and I honestly couldn’t have done this without these people, especially john symons. Of course Sarah Robins consistent help from the day I visited KU till the end! :) looking forward to the future.

the entirety of a referee report. Do referee’s actually read the papers..? I spend an entire section classifying exactly what this person says is superficial. Just so frustrated with this process.. anyone in #philtech #philsky world have any suggestions, I’m all ears. How do u even address this.

I was in Vienna a couple of months ago & made sure to find this cafe. This used to be one of Kurt Gödel’s and other Vienna circle members’ hangout spots!! It used to be called Cafe Arkaden across from Univ of Vienna. If this is untrue, let me stay ignorant! :) #philsky #histsky #philsci #philtech

Here is my introduction to the Special Issue on 'LLMs and Teaching Writing.' I start with this piece of advice by the medieval philosopher Al-Ghazali on the dangers of following intellectual plagiarists. Full pdf here - philpapers.org/rec/ABUITS #philtech #philsky #writing

I wrote about this a few months ago. This is a serious concern but I suspect it won’t stop at customer service jobs. Also, some people probably won’t like what I say: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Talking about moral agency today in class. We will be discussing @carissaveliz.bsky.social paper on moral zombies! 🧟 We talked about the different ways people have understood Agency last time, so, very curious to see what the students think of this paper. #philsky #philtech #moralphil

Is that really the ultimate question for therapists? In this case chatbot therapists..

No! Pragmatics is not the ultimate goal of care.

We’ve officially entered the era where the last century is colloquially referred to as the 1900’s.
And yes go ahead and use the source from 1994. 😂 I’m from the late 19th century. Are you? 😅

Is this really a fact?? Electrons are just good assumptions to describe physical things? #philsci #philsky

Susan Wolf gave an impromptu talk about her new work on blameworthiness & responsibility here at KU. Very interesting & thought-provoking. And, of course, I asked about AI agents :). The casual conversations afterward were awesome. To do Philosophy really is a privilege. #philsky
