@ehud@scholar.socialTomorrow is the last meeting of my #PhilosophyOfAI seminar. We will be discussing Selbst et al “Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems” and Fazelpour & Lipton’s “Algorithmic Fairness from a Non-ideal Perspective”. //cc @… @…
@ehud@scholar.socialVery well delivered and interesting though I admit I got more and more frustrated as the talk went on. There are some nifty arguments, but I think most of the conclusions are wrong. #PhilosophyOfAI https://youtu.be/N1TEjTeQeg0
@ehud@scholar.socialAs a parting gift, I want to direct my #PhilosophyOfAI students to #podcasts or newsletters that offer #tech criticism. What should I recommend beyond @… ?
@dcm@social.sunet.seCool news: a new, publicly-funded, open-access, triple-anonymous journal in Philosophy of AI!

@ehud@scholar.socialToday in #PhilosophyOfAI we discuss whether grounding is needed for meaning ( @… in NLU); Pavlick’s work on emergent computations in LLMs; @… on reasoning; and whether LLMs create a world model (the Othello example). Going to be dope.
@ehud@scholar.socialTomorrow, in #PhilosophyOfAI we are beginning our dive into #LLMs. So before going into stochastic parrots, I’m going to talk about word embeddings; RNNs; LSTM & transformers; (recap) RL and RLHF. Wish me luck!
