I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. My full statement:

Most people complain that Academia is not efficient. Sure. Because wasting time is the most cost-effective low-hanging fruit, easy-to-deny way of resisting.

Am I the only one who hears "HR onboarding" as waterboarding?

📣#LongCOVID Community: With recent news, we're now hearing NIH RECOVER-TLC research & AHRQ Long COVID clinic funding could also be at risk. So LCC is launching a rapid-response campaign NOW to make it easier to call Congress & ask for #NoLongCOVIDCuts 1/x bit.ly/NoLongCOVIDCut…

nearly 3 years later, this is still nowhere near solved.

I remember reading Tim Urban’s post about “Clinically Late Insane People” when it came out in 2015 and thinking “boy, he nailed it”. Today I read it & think: “Boy, I hope he got diagnosed with #ADHD by now.” So stigmatizing, in hindsight. waitbutwhy.com/2015/07/why-im…

🤖 Calling all philosophers and AI researchers! Our team at UConn Computer Science & Engineering's RIET Lab is hosting a virtual workshop on Machine Ethics and Reasoning (MERe) on July 18, 2025. We're bringing together philosophy PhDs, CS researchers & AI folks to advance computational moral reasoning 🧵

What makes the MERe Workshop special: ✅ The Moral-KG Project - Help build the first large-scale dataset of philosophical arguments from ethics papers Your annotations will train AI models to better understand moral philosophy & create a knowledge graph of ethical reasoning

✅ Lightning talks - Share your work in machine ethics (5-7 min) & get feedback from an interdisciplinary community ✅ Build your network - Connect with researchers across philosophy & CS through structured discussions designed to spark new partnerships

Who should join: - Philosophy PhD students - CS researchers working on AI alignment or NLP - Anyone passionate about the intersection of technology & moral reasoning This is about making AI systems better understand the complexities of ethics!

📅 Date: July 18, 2025 (11 AM - 5 PM EDT) 📍 Format: Virtual ⏰ Apply by: July 10th No pre-reading required! The application takes just 5-10 minutes & includes full workshop details + tentative schedule.

👉 Apply here: forms.gle/cxfK3MHbY87Hct… This is a unique opportunity to contribute to computational philosophy while building connections across disciplines. Let's work together to advance machine understanding of ethics!

Please share with anyone who might be interested! #Philosophy #MoralAgents #MEReWorkshop #AIAlignment
