Latest papers: François Recanati compares their account of IEM to the simple view and argues that their account complements the simple view by answering why no identity assumption is needed to ground the singular judgment in the IEM cases https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2024.2359493 @philosophy #philosophy

I'll be in a conversation with the Acid Horizon team later this week. The plan is to discuss specifically classical Stoic philosophers and philosophy on grief, but I imagine we'll range into quite a few other thinkers and movements, and perhaps also discuss some of our own experiences in this session. Coming up Friday 1 PM Eastern / Noon Central!

People outside #academia sometimes seem surprised that #TED talks, #podcast interviews, etc. are unimpressive (or even disappointing) to scholars and scientists.
But upon reflection, it seems unsurprising that
- PUBLIC scholarship is most valued by the *public*
- PEER-reviewed #research is most valued by academics' *peers*
- FUNDING from external agencies is most valued by #university administrators who balance *budgets*
What'd be surprising is if everyone wanted the same thing from academics.

AI is an unasked for tech looking for a problem to solve. It uses an incredible amount of energy.

Pursuit of endless growth is pursuit of a cancer.
Moore's Law is dead and we have reached a happy plateau. We dont need more computing power. We can do so much now. If you need something to chew on, work on making it more efficient. Make the code smaller and faster and lighter.
And less of a power draw.

TED offered a vision of the world where complex societal issues could be solved with a lightbulb moment and a well-designed PowerPoint presentation.
Climate change? There's an app for that.
Poverty? A social entrepreneur with a TED talk has it figured out.
It was a worldview that flattered millennials' sense of ourselves as changemakers while conveniently ignoring the systemic barriers to real change.

#AI #GenerativeAI #LLMs #OpenSource #FLOSS #EU #AIAct: "Technology giants such as Meta and Microsoft are describing their artificial intelligence (AI) models as ‘open source’ while failing to disclose important information about the underlying technology, say researchers who analysed a host of popular chatbot models.
The definition of open source when it comes to AI models is not yet agreed, but advocates say that ’full’ openness boosts science, and is crucial for efforts to make AI accountable. What counts as open source is likely to take on increased importance when the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act comes into force. The legislation will apply less strict regulations to models that are classed as open.
Some big firms are reaping the benefits of claiming to have open-source models, while trying “to get away with disclosing as little as possible”, says Mark Dingemanse, a language scientist at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. This practice is known as open-washing.
“To our surprise, it was the small players, with relatively few resources, that go the extra mile,” says Dingemanse, who together with his colleague Andreas Liesenfeld, a computational linguist, created a league table that identifies the most and least open models (see table). They published their findings on 5 June in the conference proceedings of the 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability and Transparency."
