Interesting book by this Mexican anthropologist, going against both physicalism and panpsychism to read consciousness as situated between the mind and the world, the neural and the symbolic.

That's the more interesting cfp for me, too. This one is more of a "why did your model produce garbage?" conference. But sign me up for the "what is AI garbage?" conference! (FWIW @joannazylinska.bsky.social makes related points in this paper!) journalcontent.mediatheoryjournal.org/index.php/mt...
