Great moment with my Dean this evening at a Courtauld reception. She told me she is reading Ultra-Processed People by @DoctorChrisVT and it has had a dramatic effect on her eating habits. Looking forward to her reaching chapter 12 https://t.co/Pz6vDDs6gi

Wonderful evening @Ri_Science where @utafrith and @cdfrith introduce their social neuroscience lectures written and drawn as a comic book by son Alex Frith. The title of this remarkable work is Two Heads: where two neuroscientists explain how our brains work with other brains https://t.co/2C0LjojGRr

@tim_elmo Don’t know but her work on aesthetics may have mentioned him. Her lecture on personal identity was focused on Kafka’s Metamorphosis and Max Frisch’s I’m Not Stiller

Lorraine Daston talking about rules as models for judgement @EthicsInAI suggests child and algorithms’ learning to recognize zebras are not only different but the latter are more fragile, less widely applicable and less robust than the former https://t.co/5fneF2CtZL

@Helenreflects There’s also Making AI Intelligible: Philosophical Foundations by Herman Cappelen and Josh Dever. It’s very readable and focuses on whether we can explain how ML algorithms reach decisions that affect our lives

@memneon @Philip_Goff @cmlittlejohn @_JamieWhyte Yes, here’s a quick sketch. There are plenty of better examples. For a start look at The Phenomenological Mind by Shaun Gallagher and Dan Zahavi and by my neuroscience colleague, Chris Frith, Making Up the Mind https://t.co/GX7cd5f60r

@simon_frankau @IanDunt A version of freedom of speech opportunism: my views should be heard or else you're limiting my freedom of speech; your views, nit so much. Stanley Fish's The First is very good on this: https://t.co/ch0wpIGFNu
