Part-time masters student trying to find interesting research for a PhD!

Current project with this page is to include a passage from a book I’m reading in all posts. Books are selected based on my research interests and posts highlight key takeaways.
Thank you for the clarification. In another response you mentioned interrogating clockwork and the gear.

Have you read this quote from Jacob Bronowski: “although the use of tools is a cultural phenomenon, that cultural phenomenon imposes itself and causes natural selection in its own favor”?

I’ve read your post a few times to phrase this question: Would you characterize your course as a study of general semantics in ethics of technology?

@ashleemboyer.com I love your post. Jacob Bronowski provides an excellent interpretation on information in the attached passage.

LLMs cannot possibly understand the emotions behind disability, so why should we trust “information” they generate on this subject? We shouldn’t.

I cannot think of anything more motivating than this exert from Jacob Bronowski’s “The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination”.

Sometimes time is our ally :)
