We’re not changing it.

In my capacity as associate/area editor for two different journals, I've gone quickly from seeing a few papers that may have relied a bit on AI (like a year ago) to seeing many papers very recently where Claude or GPT clearly led the writing and the framing (and where this is unacknowledged).

Composite Modes of Presentation (CMoPs) are a thing! Just out at RPP: rdcu.be/fwV4e Very grateful to @logos-group.bsky.social, audiences at the Indexical Dynamics Workshop in Paris organised by F. Recanati and the PLM7 Conference organised by @tmarvan.bsky.social .

My postdoc is coming to an end, so I'm looking for work! Let me know if you, or anyone you know, wants to hire a philosopher of biology/cognition with a knack for cross-disciplinary work, a focus on autonomy + agency, and experience writing for the broader public (10+ yrs in sci/tech journalism).

I'm recruiting two postdocs (or potentially PhD students) to work on projects at the intersection of cognition, neuroscience, and AI (with a particular emphasis on mechanistic interpretability). Apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... and please share!

Important stuff. Meanwhile, Ahsan Adeel and his team at Stirling are actually *buidling* bio-inspired, energy efficient LLMs but, sadly, no one is paying attention to them (yet). ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc... aclanthology.org/2025.babylm-... arxiv.org/abs/2603.13453

If you work in phil science and never sent your paper to a generalist journal (because worry your readership isn’t there), Philosophy and Phenomenological Research intends to bring more Phil science to its pages, and I have just joined as one of the editors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...
