Our journal will dedicate a special issue to the philosophy and legacy of Daniel Dennett, entitled Dennett's Dangerous Ideas. Details about the call for papers will be available soon. Watch this space!
Losing the smiling spirit of consciousness studies. Dan Dennett has passed, and with that, the consciousness studies has lost a source of inspiration. At a time when philosophy was passing through a narrow bottleneck of self-limitation, Dan had a real breadth of interest, while…
There are several passages in Dennett’s books that I vividly recall where I was when I read them. He was perhaps my favorite living thinker. I never met him, but through his writing he felt like a friend and teacher. I’m very sad, but comforted by all the love for him in seeing.
One of the greatest minds of our times has died. This is a huge blow to the fields of philosophy, morality, consciousness and intelligence. I adored his teachings even though sometimes it took me years to get them. His ideas will live on. @danieldennett
Daniel Dennett: How to compose a successful critical commentary Rest well, and thank you
Thinking about Dan Dennett, who died yesterday after a stupendous career & very rich life. What might be his best ever paper? A candidate: "Three Kinds of Intentional Psychology." A legit scan via Tufts is here: dl.tufts.edu/concern/pdfs/f… 1/
‘As Hugo Mercier puts it, Voltaire was wrong when he said that “those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities”; it is “wanting to commit atrocities that makes you believe absurdities”.’

How much does an LM depend on information provided in-context vs its prior knowledge? Check out how @vesteinns, @niklas_stoehr, @JenniferCWhite, @AaronSchein, @ryandcotterell + I answer this by measuring a *context's persuasiveness* and an *entity's susceptibility*🧵
Does this make LLMs biased? Idk maybe. But here's our new paper on when PageRank (dev by Larry Page and Sergey Brin) and other ranking algs are indeed biased! ➡️arxiv.org/abs/2402.13787 Accepted at @TheWebConf'24, who else is joining in Singapore this May?

I spoke at a pro-peace vigil in San Francisco where people from diverse backgrounds, including Israelis, Palestinians & Arabs shared their perspectives & grievances. The goal was to listen to one another & seek common ground across our disagreements to promote a new path forward.
Preprint for this work (led by @seanohagann) is now online: arxiv.org/pdf/2312.09203… Feedback very welcome!

📢 Excited to deliver an oral presentation at #NeurIPS2023 Workshop on CRL tomorrow! 📄 The Linear Representation Hypothesis and the Geometry of Large Language Models (arxiv.org/abs/2311.03658) 🕒 09:50 am - 10:05 am (Poster: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm) 📍 Room 243 - 245
If you want a respite from OpenAI drama, how about joining academia? I'm starting Conceptualization Lab, recruiting PhDs & Postdocs! We need new abstractions to understand LLMs. Conceptualization is the act of building abstractions to see something new. conceptualization.ai
Excited to reunite with everyone at #NeurIPS2023 next month! Don't forget to check out our workshop @ICBINBWorkshop on the failure modes of foundation models: shorturl.at/qrtJM (Looks like we added one more foundation model failure mode after last weekend!) 🤓
Some of you guys who i like very much are quote-tweeting completely unverified news sources about an active conflict as if it’s verified fact, and it’s driving me completely nuts. Anyone can write “breaking news” at the front of a tweet - lots of random people are doing it!
Did you know that @UChicago just launched a new PhD in #DataScience and #AI? Join the info session on 11/16 to learn more about this new program! @UChicagoPSD datascience.uchicago.edu/events/phd-in-…

I think most everyone is missing the point here: the military campaign in Gaza never needed to be genocide for it to be wrong. Too many people committed themselves to labels & slogans rather than actual conditions & outcomes. War is hell & Israel & Palestine are in it.

Seriously the "right to resist" doesn't magically give anyone the right to murder civilian families in their homes, nor to kidnap people, nor to shoot up a music festival. You don't get a "Get Out of War Crimes Free" card if you say it's "resistance"
Statements like this from Columbia SJP reflect a very real confusion on the left about the morality & legality of Oct. 7. International humanitarian law prohibits attacks that target civilians, regardless of the cause or whether the actor doing the attacking is occupied.
I'm disappointed & frustrated with the statement by Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (who blocked me despite having never interacted with them). In it, they reaffirm the right of armed resistance, an explicit endorsement of Hamas and October 7 & the “all means…
In my opinion, if you are a faculty member, you should not express views that could be reasonably interpreted by students as diminishing their importance and value, or thinking of them as an adversary. I hate to say but I've been disappointed by many people here whom I respect.
6) Similarly, the Republicans pouncing on it are doing no favors to the Jews. It is clearly for their own political interests to wield a cudgel against their perceived enemies. Everything becomes coded as Democratic or Republican when the issues are beyond partisanship.
There are many young people who are horrified by what they see in Gaza and are having a very natural human reaction to it. A quick thread on this
"Do you know what NYU is doing about Israel? Why are we protesting here?"
History isn’t that simple.
A good law of history is that if you ever find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you are wrong. Every single time. In every era. No matter the issue.
But if you are attacking Jews for being 'Zionists' or 'Zios' or 'Global Zionism' crack on? I think Mehdi - who has been a perfect gentleman to me when he invited me on his shows - does not see that contemporary antisemitism, antisemitic anti-Zionism, bends the meaning of Israel…
Let’s be clear: if you are attacking or abusing Jews for being Jews, for their clothing, language, customs, or ethnicity, you’re an awful person. You’re a bigot, an antisemite. And you are no friend of Palestine or the Palestinians.
