"What A Fish Knows" and "Super Fly" author & ethologist Jonathan Balcombe, joins me for episode 228 of the @Sentientism podcast and YouTube. Find our full conversation there. Here's a taster clip! Thank you Jonathan Balcombe 🤩

The first ever benchmark to empirically measure harm to animals from LLMs is out! This is just the start.

Philip Goff Kids restore my hope for humanity (and sentientity). I run workshops from 5yrs old upwards about worldviews and @Sentientism and I’m continually blown away by the brave questions, fresh thinking and open minds ❤️ So different from Twitter 😊

Is the #Sentientism worldview anti-dogmatic or a dogma? Is "evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient beings" so generic it says nothing, or does it drive radical change? Find out on the Changed My Mind podcast, then maybe change your mind! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sho…

My second @Sentientism interview is now out! Thanks to Jamie Woodhouse for having me back to discuss my book The Moral Circle - as well as for giving me this awesome mug in London 🙂 You can watch the interview below, or listen elsewhere. Hope you enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=e9tidf…

Just how big should "The Moral Circle" be? Animals, AIs, fungi, plants, microbes, electrons, people who annoy us on the internet? Come explore with philosopher Jeff Sebo in his second appearance on the #Sentientism YouTube and Podcast. Links in reply.

In our new paper (open access in Phil. Studies), Albert Newen and me investigate the potential and limitations of multidimensional models of animal (and potentially AI) minds, many of which have been recently developed: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

7 years on this hellsite! Thanks to all you compassionate glimmers of light 🥰 #MyXAnniversary

“Should we go extinct?” And how would our answer change if we adopt anthropocentric, sentiocentric or ecocentric moral scopes? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/new…

We’ve attended 44 scientific conferences since our founding in 2019. Since then, we’ve seen big changes in how wild animal welfare is represented. Learn more: buff.ly/ndvoepd

A lot of people (especially in EA) take it to be self-evident that consciousness is the only possible grounds for moral status. I’m at least somewhat sympathetic to the object-level view (Sentientism), but I don’t think it’s trivial or obvious at all. A mini thread - 🧵

Whether you're an Indian cow 🐮 or the human infant 👶selected to be the #DalaiLamaSuccessor, maybe being worshipped is just another form of autonomy-destroying exploitation? youtu.be/WAJ-rP6l4Jg

Teaching teachers is almost as much fun as teaching kids! #RETeach 😍

Refreshing to see the "who matters?" question get asked. Instead of a human-centric answer just being unthinkingly assumed. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
