Zoomposium with Dimitri Coelho Mollo (Assistant Professor in #Philosophy of #Artificial #Intelligence):
"How Intelligent is Artificial Intelligence?"
His #research focuses on #fundamental and #epistemological #questions within artificial intelligence and #cognitive #science, and seeks ways to improve our understanding of #mind, #cognition, and intelligence in #biological and #artificial #systems

The #neurocentric #worldview - please turn around!
"Worldviews - is it all just a question of #perspective?"
“The assumption that we could adopt an external, in a sense divine standpoint from which we could see the world - including ourselves - freed from the conditionalities of human experience and thought as it is in itself, is the original #epistemological sin, the result of which can only be a view of things devoid of reason. ...

Guest article by Dr. #Bernd #Stein: "The #thing in itself"
In a new guest article by Dr. Bernd Stein, who has often published his excellent guest articles on my site, this time it is about the infamous "thing in itself", as one might find it in the introduction of the Aristotelian categories in scholasticism, the subsequent #universalism controversy (which I had already examined in an older essay "The Paradigm Shift") or in modern epistemology, which is essentially shaped by Immanuel #Kant's dualistic philosophy.
In this respect, Bernd's essay fits perfectly into the previous portfolio of this site, as in his very readable text he deals with the possible #epistemological limits of "physics" or rather physics. In particular, he addresses the supposed "intrinsic properties of an object" in order to show that, in his view, there are only interactions that may also apply to a special degree to "quantum objects".

Dear God, I thought we were swirling down the #epistemological toilet *before* all the #LLM crap hit the scene.
This is really, really, really bad.

Prosecutors in the Trump cases will soon run up against the #epistemological challenges of explaining, convicting a man whose behavior (& #language & #rhetoric) defies & undermines the structures and logic of civic life. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/04/opinion/trump-indictment-fraud.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Have wondered if we, humans, are alone in this infinite Universe. If the whistleblower claims (below) are followed and found to be true, hold on to our epistemological and religious beliefs.

In the #Fedi it wouldn’t come to my mind to explain the #universe (and the #epistemological process of acquiring knowledge about it) to people asking about the #bigbang, because my take is somewhat opinionated, and for some reason I don't feel free in the Fedi to say anything potentially controversial. On #Nostr I didn't hesitate: https://iris.to/note169m4axneyqtrn87e0yrljacff30engd7z99ep0x5udcdmz93sywq766nt7 . I don't know why. But it's getting harder for me to say anything at all in the Fedi. (I really tried, but something just doesn’t feel right.)
#AI Art is Remix - The DJ’s of Pictures
My new piece on how we can develop an #epistemological framework for AI art that fits our cultural sensibilities by revisiting the academic discussion sampling, hip-hop and techno musics sparked in the 1990’s through early 2000’s.
Changes in mass production technologies always prompt changes in societies. We will need new ideas and new legislation, and the literature to quote from largely exists.

Not to give too much away, but one of the main spiritual actions of the novel is a kind of #epistemological journey -- the main character starts in a world where everything is certain but definitely, definitely doesn't stay there
Needless to say the novel is functioning for me as a kind of spiritual #autobiography
As an #epistemological principle (i.e., as a theory about knowledge) it holds that there are no permanent and stable things (though nirvana can sometimes be seen as an exception to this)
To reject #Putnam's #ontological position, insist only on an #epistemological aspect of #twinearth problem=> knowledge of a psychological state does not make it possible to know (determine) meaning of concept to which is attached. ie meaning in mind #NoamChomsky naturalistic
