Hi, I'm a philosopher with a PhD from King's College London, mostly interested in philosophy of mind and metaphysics 🧠

@nino @academicchatter I echo what has been said above - definitely worth trying. I went through the editorial board of one of the central journals of my field and wrote and short-listed those with research interests in line with mine and wrote an email introducing myself and describing potential common research avenues. I think I contacted 5 people, and everybody replied politely and willing to collaborate. I ended up as a postdoc with one of them, and that was a great experience!

No Kites this morning, I missed them.

I wonder what the correlation is between:

1. Twitter being the first social network people have made their home, and;
2. How hard it is for them to leave Twitter.

Having been on numerous social platforms since the BBS’s of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, through USENET and various online forums, leaving Twitter was easy. But it pains me to see how hard it is for so many others to leave, and I wonder why that is.

Boosts appreciated!

Any recommendations for recent academic readings on the #ethics of #journalism in the #digital #age ? I am particular interested in the professional role of journalists in comparison to other "content creators" #philosophy

AI systems fail & are going to keep failing, but...

- Which failures "matter"?
- What do they reveal about sociotechnical power?
- Who's invested in seeing & fixing mistakes?

I've lately been studying *failures* of algorithms & machine learning systems...a little thread with 3 resources if folks are interested...

Article in Nature today on the question of how to assess AI systems, including some recent work by myself and my collaborators!

ChatGPT broke the Turing test — the race is on for new ways to assess AI

Large language models mimic human chatter, but scientists disagree on their ability to reason.

Was this the right call, to make another account because I dislike the missing features of an instance?

What pros and cons are there to transferring your profile to another #mastodon instance? 🦣

The trending tab for posts and hashtags doesn't seem to be working on scholar.social. Is it just me or is it like that for everyone? How is it on other instances?
TFW you want to go back and edit an email you just sent because mastodon has made post editing feel so natural and easy
