I've had good experiences with Synthese regarding unconventional/interdisciplinary papers. Also Philosophy of AI might be a good option. It's not high-ranking (as it's very new) but its OA. @philosophyofai.bsky.social

I agree. However, I get the impression that quite a few people believe that the Chinese room does not understand, but LLMs do - because of their special architecture. As far as these people are concerned, I am curious to see what they think about the flashcard sorter.

Why Marine Le Pen should be allowed to run for president Punish the offender without also punishing French democracy

Good grief, can we desist with this nonsense. Barring convicted criminals from holding office - especially criminals convicted of abuses of power - is just basic civic sense. The option of not stealing taxpayers' money was right there. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Bluesky’s ahead, but is X a dead parrot? Altmetric has been capturing and integrating Bluesky posts since October 2024. What does the data look like now?

Great work by @altmetric.com as always! Their latest analysis reveals that the quality of research content on #Bluesky is just as strong as on X/Twitter, with more original posts emerging. If you’re in academia or research, now is the time to make the switch! #AcademicSky #ResearchSky #Altmetrics
