The AI Con is witty, smart, and accessible. It's exactly what interdisciplinary scholarship aspires to be: a more nuanced perspective on problems. In this case, the problems posed by AI may be symptomatic of broader economic + political trends.

One of the most interesting things about doing a book tour is the variety of questions @alexhanna.bsky.social & I get asked by journalists, podcast hosts, and book event audience members.

Talia Sherman, of Tomayto Tomahto, asked some really interesting ones:

Just finished. Very good and interesting! It’s true that analytic philosophy is nerdy as hell, but it can also be cool 😎

It was a privilege to interview Justin about code speech, political speech, aesthetic assertions, epistemic advantages, philosophy and narrative, and our current political (dis)order.

One of the highlights for me at #LSA2024 was getting to meet Talia Sherman, host of the podcast Tomayto Tomahto --- so it was super fun to follow up with an interview for that same podcast. You can find the episode now on your favorite podcatcher. Here's the link for Podcast Addict.

Tomayto Tomahto • Stochastic Parrots and the Information Ecosystem with Emily Bender • Podcast Addict

There’s a lot that I can say about Emily Bender, but I think that a philosophy professor of mine said it best when he described her as the “cutting edge of technology and AI and linguistics and ethics.” Obviously some of her cutting-edge-ness concomitantly stems from the cutting-edge-ness of large language models, deep fakes, and 'artificial intelligence' inventions.
