Seeing as #Philsky is on the topic of citations, here’s a good one to add to your bibliography. Whether you write about #EpistemicInjustice, #AI, #Gramsci, #Marxism, #TESCREAL, #AIHype, #BigTech or #Unions, this paper has it all!

"So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI,"
