A great review by Nicolas Delon of a great environmental ethics book by my philosophical mentor Dale Jamieson: "philosophy at its pedagogical finest: accessible yet sophisticated, practical yet profound."

🥳🥳 New paper in @nathumbehav.nature.com: “When development constricts our moral circle." Contrary to popular belief, younger kids may start out with broader moral circles than older ones. Check it out here 👉 rdcu.be/eoaSe w/ @mattiwilks.bsky.social @karrineldner.bsky.social & Lucius Caviola

When a user attributes consciousness to a chatbot, does it affect trust? In this new study, we guessed people more willing to attribute consciousness to chatGPT would trust it more on a factual matter - but found substantial evidence AGAINST this. (1/5) www.nature.com/articles/s44...

My paper "AI Welfare Risks" has been accepted for publication at Philosophical Studies! I argue that near-future AIs may have welfare, that RL and behaviour restrictions could harm them, that this poses a tension with AI safety and how AI labs could reduce such welfare risks. 1/

Most people enjoy meat—but rarely think about the animals behind it. So what happens when they do make that connection? 🐖 If you're curious, check out our new study: "‘Meating’ the animal and moral emotions" 🔎 doi.org/10.1016/j.ap... 🧵👇 (1/10) #MoralPsychology #MeatParadox #AnimalCruelty

Just found out that someone I met in my first year of university - a brilliant guy - died of a brain tumor in December. He got in touch with me on Facebook last September, but as he had severe aphasia, it was impossible to communicate. I wish I could have been more helpful. Rest in peace.

RIP David Thomas. Pere Ubu is one of the 20 great American rock bands, can lay a claim to helping to invent punk, and turned rocknroll into art.

Optimistic take: this is a really good time to be working on animal ethics. So many interesting stuff going on - on issues which a couple of decades ago would have just been ridiculed. Feels inspiring to see the fruit of the efforts of so many, throughout so many years, and against so many odds.

Woke up this morning to a paper rejection. Fair, extremely useful comments, etc. But still I felt entitled to indulge in a bit of existential pessimism - at least until lunch time, then hope again.

It's crucial that non-vegans also take a stand against factory farming and have access to networks of mutual support in doing so. Hence the importance of "Reducetarianism", as argued in philarchive.org/rec/MAYEFA-2
