AI and extended authenticity: Autism as a case study
I consider some ways autistic people use AI chatbots for companionship and connection, and some distinctive benefits and harms that may follow from this usage—particularly as it relates to the virtue of authenticity. Drawing on first-person reports, as well as debates about the extended mind and extended virtues, I argue that while AI systems lack authenticity, they may be brought into extended (human-AI) systems that help some users achieve auth…

AI gossip
Generative AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini routinely make things up. They "hallucinate" historical events and figures, legal cases, academic papers, non-existent tech products and features, biographies, and news articles. Recently, some have argued that these hallucinations are better understood as bullshit. Chatbots produce streams of text that look truth-apt without concern for the truthfulness of what this text says. But …

Vieses Implícitos, Hábitos Corporificados E Nichos De Desenvolvimento
A teoria da construção de nichos ressalta o papel ativo dos organismos na modificação do seu ambiente externo. O nicho de desenvolvimento é um subconjunto dessas modificações, e refere-se aos legados ecológicos, epistêmicos, sociais e simbólicos que facilitam processos de desenvolvimento. Considerando que o desenvolvimento cognitivo ocorre em um ambiente culturalmente estruturado, questiona-se aqui se vieses culturais implícitos podem resultar em…
An Ecological Approach to Affective Injustice
There is growing philosophical interest in “affective injustice”: injustice faced by individuals specifically in their capacity as affective beings. Current debates tend to focus on affective injustice at the psychological level. In this paper, I argue that the built environment can be a vehicle for affective injustice—specifically, “affective powerlessness.” I use resources from ecological psychology to develop this claim. I consider two cases w…
Agency and atmospheres of inclusion and exclusion
This chapter argues that atmospheres do things. They actively regulate experience and behaviour—and crucially, open up (or close down) forms of social connectedness. They do these things because atmospheres do not merely provide affective colour or texture. They also furnish possibilities—possibilities that help or hinder us as we find our way in the world. This chapter unpacks this claim by considering atmospheres as “affective arrangements.” Al…
Loneliness and the Emotional Experience of Absence
In this paper, we develop an analysis of the structure and content of loneliness. We argue that this is an emotion of absence —an affective state in which certain social goods are regarded as out of reach for the subject of experience. By surveying the range of social goods that appear to be missing from the lonely person's perspective, we see what it is that can make this emotional condition so subjectively awful for those who undergo it, includ…
Direct Social Perception
Defenders of a view called “direct social perception” (DSP) argue that our social-cognitive capacities rest on our ability to directly perceive others’ mental states—their emotions, desires, intentions, etc.—embodied in their expressive, goal-directed behavior. DSP thus challenges the widespread assumption that mental states are intracranial phenomena, perceptually inaccessible to everyone but their owner. In this chapter, I consider a version of…
Extended emotions
Until recently, philosophers and psychologists conceived of emotions as brain- and body-bound affairs. But researchers have started to challenge this internalist and individualist orthodoxy. A rapidly growing body of work suggests that some emotions incorporate external resources and thus extend beyond the neurophysiological confines of organisms; some even argue that emotions can be socially extended and shared by multiple agents. Call this the …
The Affective ‘We’
This chapter explores a strong sense of shared emotions: the idea that a numerically single emotion can be given to more than one subject. This idea has not only been defended by developmental and social. This idea has not only been defended by developmental and social psychologists as well as sociologists but also by a number of phenomenologists. The chapter evaluates features of a situation e.g., overhearing a colleague making a crude remark ab…
