Epistemic injustice and loneliness in late-stage dementia We have known for some time that loneliness can be both a trigger for and a consequence of mental health issues, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of lockdowns have brought home the centrality of social connections for our wellbeing. Dr Lucienne Spencer (University of Birmingham) discusses

I am yet to read this but pretty sure I could take a good guess at some of the reasons why

there are very few bluesky philosophy-related moments where i feel my niche idlewild knowledge might come in handy, so this is a real joy (i am a message)

Well worth a read! This stuck with me:

'Dialogue—whether with a colleague or mentor, or, yes, even an AI—can be a corrective to that kind of tunnel vision'

Absolutely this - and for students without mentors/colleagues available to work through ideas, AI could be a genuine leveller

unsure but I'm on board with calling him Andre from now on

Interesting post! Particularly like the distinction between calculators (converging on The Answer) vs LLMs (regressing to predictable averages)...

'sickening and funny in equal parts' would be an apt title for most political writing at this point...

Thought this might be a haiku (7)

Congratulations! Looking forward to reading!

Great article - this is a really robust outline for people who might otherwise dismiss or diminish the harms as 'not real'. Thanks for sharing!

How AI-generated sexual images cause real harm, even though we know they are ‘fake’ Publicly bombarding women with these images exerts control over how they present themselves online.

I wrote an article for @theconversation.com on how philosophy can help us understand the deep harms of AI-generated sexual images, e.g by Grok on X, as well as other digital misogyny like assault in virtual reality. #philsky #philtech

Everyday philosophy: How to stop AI slop from killing the internet Legislation or an unexpected saviour could help – but the tech giants will try to crush them

Congratulations! I look forward to reading!

Really enjoyed this episode - and the whole series - applied ethics at its interdisciplinary best!

Is it a free gingerbread man, or is it systemic ableism? I have 5 children & have taken them all for the occasional Pret hot chocolate. My wheelchair-using 6 year old has been given a free gingerbread man on at least 50% of his visits… the others are yet to be gifted any baked goods. 🤔

This whole PhD endeavour was made worthwhile this week when my 6 year old was asked by a consultant what his parents did - and he replied 'my mum is a philosopher... my dad...umm I don't know, he works in his room' 👌

also, thats a lot of alsos, so apologies for that

I also find it deeply troubling (see also, depressing, horrifying, etc) but am additionally curious about whether this constitutes a lie in the way we would typically use the term, and also curious about how we have this type of affective response to an LLM.
