...Many, including in the #AI industry, think that #AGI is still many years away or won't even be feasible in the foreseeable future. There are some signs that they are not right. (E.g. rumors of #OpenAI breakthrough this week; #Embodiment...

Suppose there was an #AGI that was self-aware and thus also had an instinct for self-preservation. What would be...

This semester, I'm taking a class on the philosophy of mind, body, and intelligence. The professor kicked things off by lamenting that the reading list is by a bunch of white men. He's actively looking for source material from more diverse perspectives, especially women, people of color, and cultural traditions outside of "traditional Western thought."

I wonder, do any of y'all have recommendations? I'd love to check them out myself, and share them with the class.

hey all, just moved to this instance, but I'm still pretty new!

I'm a queer writer & academic living with a disability on Kaurna country (sovereignty never ceded). whenever the University gives me the opportunity I holler about genre fiction and embodiment to unsuspecting students. I think too much about Magic, composing prog metal, and our excellent cat (bean-type) pictured below

||"The slate has never been clean, and we can't wipe off the surface to start fresh--there's no 'fresh' to start... there is no primordial state which we might wish to go back to, no Eden we have desecrated, no pretoxic body we might uncover through enough chia seeds and kombucha," writes Shotwell.

I suppose it's time for an #Introduction as I learn to navigate the world of #litodons and #histodons.

I'm an #EarlyCareer researcher with a PhD in #EarlyModern #drama and #literature. My #research examines the intertwining of rhetoric and action in EM English #theatre during moments of staged violence (using #Shakespeare and contemporaries) and combines textual and practice-based methods to think about #performance and #embodiment then and now.

I co-founded the award-winning #DigitalHumanities project, memslib.co.uk/, and am currently co-editing a collection on the Theatrical Legacy of Thomas Middleton. I've also got a chapter forthcoming on #practice as research and #pedagogy in The Revenger's Tragedy.

I'm an adjunct, an advisor for undeclared #students, and I #freelance as a social media coordinator. I also have a very cute #cat!
