On April 10th, the CLEA research group (#cognition, #language, #enactivism and #affectivity) will host the first online event of the series "the future of enactivism".
Russell Meyer and Guilherme Sanches will debate the distinction between Utopian and Scientific Enactivism.
If you're into #philosophy of #cognition, you don't wanna miss this!

Here's the outstanding program of the first webconference of the International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind (ISPSM).
» more theoretical thinking and less (unthinking) #ml or less confusion between #machinelearning and theory
Then #AI can be a useful theoretical tool...
The thesis of #computationalism implies that it is possible in principle to understand human cognition as a form of computation.
However, this does not imply that it is possible in practice to computationally (re)make cognition «

Understanding and Mitigating the Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Large Language Model Applications
Very nice paper. It seems like the #ai community is moving towards a debate that's similar to that between the contextualist and minimalist perspectives on @philosophy of language.
Maybe it is time to require hand-written texts again?
Can anyone please send me a PDF of the thesis I'm trying to finish? Thanks!

If you're thinking of running your own Mastodon instance, EFF's Legal Director Corynne McSherry breaks down some of the common legal issues and practical considerations here:

Don't fool yourself by thinking this is not the same battle, Musk devaluing "blue checks" (professional journalists with their norms of conduct) and Meta & OpenAI devaluing scholarship. It won't be long until someone wheels out the "censorship" and "elitism" argument against LLM critique as well.
(Note: This pseudo-fight against "authority" is always only against democratic authority, never against forced & profitable authority.)
@compthink @davetroy @philosophy Maybe the core element is not the binarism that the expression "both sides" assumes. Rather, what's bothering is that one is trying to portray its own independence from certain viewpoints as a sign of objectivity or truth.
@davetroy @philosophy I like it!
"Both sides are criticizing us, so we must be doing something right" is the kind of fallacious reasoning that deserves its own name.
Is there a name I'm not aware of?
@RichiH well, It's all about choosing someone to trust (up to some extent) and hope for the best. As of now, I'd go with ProtonVPN. Good jurisdiction and privacy policy. Good record of transparency. Has survived (and provided good replies) to a considerable amount of scrutiny. Reasonable number of exit nodes in distinct countries. Supports wireguard and its Android app is stable and user friendly, which is good for "I just want this to work".
