Very excited to get my hands on the new Routledge Handbook of Mindshaping, edited by Tad Zawidzki & Rémi Tison. They've really put together a stellar group of authors.

Oops, turns out that human intelligence is largely embedded in linguistic skill rather than an innate, intrinsic property

Does it mean that LLMs can be just as smart, maybe smarter than us?

Simon Fitzpatrick, Mindshaping in nonhuman great apes - PhilPapers
The mindshaping hypothesis proposes a “de-intellectualized” explanation for human unique cooperation. In contrast to standard mindreading accounts, which emphasize the evolution of sophisticated reaso...

Fwiw it's not a novel position, see e.g. Tadeusz Wieslaw Zawidzki, Mindshaping: A New Framework for Understanding Human Social Cognition (MIT Press, 2013).

I haven't had a chance to read this yet, but Kristina is great and has done really interesting work in the intersection of empirically-informed philosophy of mind and epistemology - and this chapter sounds utterly fascinating:
Kristina Musholt, Mindshaping and Epistemic Agency - PhilPapers
The aim of this chapter is to explore the complex relation between mindshaping and epistemic agency. I will begin by providing a brief account of epistemic agency in terms of an ...

Latest papers: Leda Berio relies on insights from norm psychology and on the mindshaping framework to suggest that our reputation-guided behaviour can, in some instances, actively change us for the better in this open access paper doi.org/10.1080/0951...

Great lunch and dinner with Alex London @unityofvirtue.bsky.social and lots of talking about philosophy, philosophy jokes, bioethics, AI and mindshaping. Already looking forward to meeting again, presumably in Qatar early June 2024 IAB,#Bioethics World Congress
Wonderful lunch today in beautiful Utrecht with my excellent host, @marcelverweij.bsky.social . Talks tomorrow before heading to Germany.

We're pleased to welcome Colum Finnegan as a research assistant!
He earned his PhD in Philosophy from UCC, researching philosophy of mind & technology. Using mindshaping theory, he examined how digital platforms harm group cohesion. His current work explores whether LLMs show genuine mindedness.

I haven't read that many super recent books tbh, but I did enjoy:

Mercier - Not Born Yesterday

Hirsch - Skepticism and the Shadow of Doubt

Misak - Cambridge Pragmatism

Honourable mention to Zawidzki's "Mindshaping" which I just finished and really enjoyed (it's just over 10 years old I think).
