@jeffrsebo When are you in town? Have time for a coffee?
@NathanB60857242 Yes. See Formatting Instruction #8 ("Use of AI"). neurips.cc/Conferences/20…

I draw on these findings to cause trouble for recent attempts to use framing effects to debunk moral intuitions. If framing effects can come from rational processes, then we shouldn't always be ashamed of moral judgment-forming processes that show framing effects.
Drawing on Herbert Simon's notion of procedural rationality, I show how rational processes of category-based choice, salience-driven decisionmaking, and decisionmaking in finite automaton models can produce framing effects.
Framing effects are often taken as paradigmatic examples of human irrationality. In this new paper (forthcoming in Phil Imprint) I show how framing effects can be in an important sense fully rational. philpapers.org/rec/THOPRF
@duncanreyburn You can't go around saying stuff like that about your colleagues.
@tyler_m_john @S_OhEigeartaigh Wait that's not a joke though?
I'm working on a new paper explaining why Yudkowsky was right about everything.

@GabeEcon No pressure but there are plenty of philosophers with math degrees who found good homes here.

Curious about the ideal and non-ideal theory debate? My book, Ideal and Non-Ideal Theory, is now out open access with Cambridge Elements in Political Philosophy! Read the book that David Estlund has called "easily the best full treatment of the topic that we have." (link below)
@foomagemindset @rbnmckenna86 Too many submissions.
In a few weeks, 3 of our profession's top 5 journals will close for submissions. This is not an ideal situation.
The problem with OpenAI's backtracking is that nobody trusts them right now.
