Is it ok for medical students from wealthy countries to go to lower-resource settings to learn/study? How can we justify the burdens imposed on the people in those communities? Check out my ethical analysis of this problem, published today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/de…

@PauseAI The full video is on youtube and worth a watch. I've never seen the argument made more clearly than by Russell - we don't know what we are creating and we certainly don't know it's safe. Time to pause AI before it's too late

Your daily reminder that good academics don't sign letters to complain about their colleagues or petitions to have their colleagues fired or demoted. Good academics write papers in which they refute the arguments of the colleagues they disagree with.

@GjMcGowan Our last cat wasn't the brightest, and teaching him to use the CF was a real labour of love. But we got there, with an abundance of patience and treats. Might be obvious to you, but the good pet charities have useful online guides to help you with this task. Good luck to all!

Teaching my cat to use a catflap is a massive blackpill on her intelligence

@gregdoesethics I think it's normally the bit at the end that gets removed

@SimonJenkins1 The introductory section was largely only there for your own enjoyment anyway.

Just got the teaching timetable for the upcoming academic year. My lecture on "the ethics of infant male circumcision" has been cut short without my consent

@kanyewest IF I CAN ENJOY BOTH TEA AND COFFEE THEN WHY CAN'T A CIRCLE BE A SQUARE

@elonmusk Wow yes imagine enjoying immense privilege while others suffer, that would be terrible wouldn't it Elon

The EU leaders and Zelensky having fancy dinners while men die in trenches. How many parents will never see their son again? How many children will never see their father?

Should we worry about AI killing us all? Some argue we shouldn't. I argue they are wrong: thetightrope.substack.com/p/the-sky-migh…
