I think my AI has reached the right conclusion, it disagrees with both extremes.

Two Cultures of Philosophy: AI Edition

Up for discussion: the following two claims (along with their presuppositions, ambiguities, etc).

If you think artificial intelligence could improve philosophy, then you’re mistaken about a central point of philosophy.”

If you think artificial intelligence could not improve philosophy, then you’re mistaken about a central point of philosophy.”

(Prompted by the consideration of a distinction between technology that alleviates the need for human thinking and technology that improves it, as raised in a Twitter thread by Zachary Pirtle.)

Learn some new stuff! I really need to read this.

The Crypto Story

Where it came from, what it all means, and why it still matters.

There was a moment not so long ago when I thought, “What if I’ve had this crypto thing all wrong?” I’m a doubting normie who, if I’m being honest, hasn’t always understood this alternate universe that’s been percolating and expanding for more than a decade now. If you’re a disciple, this new dimension is the future. If you’re a skeptic, this upside-down world is just a modern Ponzi scheme that’s going to end badly—and the recent “crypto winter” is evidence of its long-overdue ending. But crypto has dug itself into finance, into technology, and into our heads. And if crypto isn’t going away, we’d better attempt to understand it. Which is why we asked the finest finance writer around, Matt Levine of Bloomberg Opinion, to write a cover-to-cover issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, something a single author has done only one other time in the magazine’s 93-year history (“What Is Code?,” by Paul Ford). What follows is his brilliant explanation of what this maddening, often absurd, and always fascinating technology means, and where it might go. —Joel Weber, Editor, Bloomberg Businessweek

Shutterstock will sell AI-generated art and 'compensate' human artists

Photo licensing service Shutterstock will begin selling images generated by artificial intelligence alongside those created by humans. The AI images will be powered exclusively by OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 software. Both companies say that human creators whose work inspired the AI will be compensated, but one artist describes the move as “sewer water leak into the drinking supply”.





This might could work as long as we can find unbiased testers…

Introducing Democracy’s Library

Internet Archives: “Democracies need an educated citizenry to thrive. In the 21st century, that means easy access to reliable information online for all. To meet that need, the Internet Archive is building Democracy’s Library a free, open, online compendium of government research and publications from around the world. “Governments have created an abundance of information and put it in the public domain, but it turns out the public can’t easily access it,” said Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle, who is spearheading the effort to collect materials for the digital library. By having a wealth of public documents curated and searchable through a single interface, citizens will be able to leverage useful research, learn about the workings of their government, hold officials accountable, and be more informed voters. Too often, the best information on the internet is locked behind paywalls, said Kahle, who has helped create the world’s largest digital library…The first steps of Democracy’s Library are available online at https://archive.org/details/democracys-library.
