Given that the term "Robot" precedes that of "Artificial Intelligence" by 30+ years, I suggest we flip the script on this "embodied #AI" moniker and begin referring to cloud distributed #AI applications as "disembodied robots." https://t.co/ORtWtbqYzw

Play that Gunky Music. In philosophy, it is inconvenient when one's surname does not lend itself to being turned into an adjective. And mine's definitely the poster-child as both Gunkelian and Gunkelist are just cumbersome. But the alternatives may be no better: Gunkist or Gunky. 565 views · 10 likes · 0 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →

You know things are serious when the debate moves to the white board. Facing off over "the face of the other" vs. "animated persona" with @Sukuitohananika during the satellite event organized by @Hayate_Shimizu as part of the "Rethinking Humanity in the Age of #AI" symposium. 2.8K views · 20 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Professional Raison d'être: I apply the theory and practice of #Deconstruction to emerging technology (#Algorithms, #AI, #robots, etc.), overturning and disrupting the traditional binary oppositions by which we have made sense of our tools and ourselves. https://t.co/DMC1te5lRX h
