Please let me know if you hear of opportunities for which you think I would be a good fit: tenure-track lines or lectureships in philosophy of science and technology or applied ethics, STS, responsible AI, data science institutes, information schools or similar.

Hello friends, a life update is in order. I am now Dr. Andrews. I will spend the next two years at Princeton as a postdoctoral fellow. I am, however, still on the job market for something permanent.

it’s so hot how departments that are not philosophy departments will disclose teaching load in adverts for faculty posts so you don’t spend six months applying and interviewing and flying out for a job that’s secretly a 5/5.

You also may enjoy the additional benefit of avoiding the “is air conditioning good or evil” culture war by simply selecting a more cost effective and green alternative.

If you are sick of spending exorbitant amounts of money to keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter, consider replacing your AC and furnace with a heat pump. These remain federally subsidized until 2032.

For my American followers: you have until the end of the year to make home improvements in the name of energy efficiency or purchase a green vehicle before green energy tax credits are eliminated.

I’m trying to save up to be able to afford movers currently, since I sprained my ankle back in April and can’t move furniture myself. But thousands of children are on the brink of starvation right now, and that matters a lot more to me.

For sure the Nazis would have recognized those folks as heroes though and planned some sort of party for them and the Jews they were hiding I bet.

Feel like there was some reason we didn’t learn about the heroic citizens who hid Jews and helped them flee from the Nazis while their countries were still Nazi occupied. Can’t quite remember it now. Maybe it’ll come back to me.

Have any Israelis snuck starving Palestinian children out of Gaza, through Israel’s illegal blockade, past apartheid checkpoints to hide them in their attics to feed them? To save them? . There must be heroes, somewhere. Where are they?.

The rise of AI-generated media does not fundamentally change that. It makes things marginally harder and marginally more stupid. More importantly, it requires the adaptation of new means of keeping ourselves honest.
