BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage?
This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice.
Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

Looking forward to talking about the future of the UK tomorrow on BBC Question Time and how we’re applying Labour values to the big challenges we face as a country.

"High Standards" is advance access in PPR (doi.org/10.1111/phpr...). Argues against the view that 'rational' and (moral) 'good' are maximum-standard gradable adjectives and sketches an alternative view on which these adjectives have non-maximal but normatively demanding standards. 2/3
"Monism and Pluralism in Value Theory and the Semantics of Evaluative Language" will appear in Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume (philpapers.org/rec/VYRMAP). Introduces a new problem ("dimensional variability") in the semantics of 'good' and partially defends one view. 3/3
Two new papers just landed! Each is about evaluative language, focusing on specific phenomena about evaluative gradable adjectives (e.g. 'good', 'rational'). Each is a side project to a seemingly interminable book project on normative explanation. Titles, blurbs, links in the thread. 1/3

Hammett (e.g. Maltese Falcon), Chandler (The Big Sleep), Sayers (Gaudy Night). Maybe some of Simenon's Maigret. And once you've read around, Hugh Laurie's The Gun Seller (a fantasticly funny spoof of the genre) and Jonathan Lethem's Motherless Brooklyn (a skillful and literary pastiche).
Latest data due tomorrow but your regular reminder: net migration is *plunging* without these plans being enacted.
