Happy that Humanesis (first published in 2013) is now available in a snazzy open access format. I don't think I have it in me to recommend reading something that I first drafted >15 years ago, but I'm glad that if anyone wants to they can do so for free!

The Journal of Continental Philosophy has just published my article, “The Computational Search for Unity: Synthesis in Generative AI”.

I address the representational reality of LLMs through the philosophical concept of synthesis.

This is my 15th year at @UofMaryland and I've never seen anything like this: The Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute has openings for *30* (!) tenured and/or tenure-track faculty positions in Artificial Intelligence, broadly defined. https://t.co/qOUF60qpBV

Ripping up our roads will make people less safe, make traffic worse, and put lives at risk. Full stop. I challenge the Premier to talk to people who have lost loved ones on our roads and hear their stories.

It might be hard for the province to do two things at once but, as leaders we have to —tackle congestion AND keep people safe at the same time!

As I’ve said before – the congestion in this city is partially the result of the province’s failure to deliver transit projects on time and has led to long construction delays and years of road closures. Stay in your lane, open the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs and fix the chaos at Metrolinx.

Research by @YorkUComCult PhD candidates @SteveJNeville & @alex_borkow examines the trend of smart speaker unboxing videos, arguing women who create content about virtual assistants are perceived as a kind of domestic technology themselves. https://t.co/QLY9BHcAzs | #YUResearch
