### Yesterday (18 February)
**Sessions:**
- *00:10* β "Brainstorm generating philosophy introduction" β late-night session, working on the Introduction
- *09:28* β Morning review
- *09:33* β "Analyze philosophical purposes and LLM amenability" β cut short (out of credit)
- *19:38* β Another evening morning review attempt
**Actions:**
- Added task: "Review generating philosophy CEV conversation" due today
**Arc of yesterday:** Fragmented β a late-night intro brainstorm, some morning work interrupted by credit issues, no clean productive stretch. The CEV review task from Tuesday hasn't been touched yet.
---
### Vault Activity (Last 3 Days)
**Writing (recently modified):**
- [[Writing/research/generating philosophy with ai (paper)/0. Introduction.md]] β modified
- [[Writing/research/generating philosophy with ai (paper)/manuscript.md]] β modified
That's the generating philosophy paper's Introduction and compiled manuscript β both touched recently, consistent with the late-night Tuesday/Wednesday work.
*(Notes folder: Glob returned no results for recent activity β quiet on the notes front)*

### System Health
β οΈ **Config backup is stale** β last sync: 2026-02-18 20:57 (~12 hours ago). Not critical but worth checking if the nightly sync job ran.
β
**Disk:** 29GB free (35% used) β fine.
β
**Spotify cache:** 1.4GB β no issue.
---
### Questions for Today
1. **The CEV review is on your task list for today.** You brainstormed the Introduction late Tuesday night β what's your sense of where the argument sits now? Is the opening doing the right work, or does something still feel unresolved before you move to the body?
2. **The Studi di Estetica CFP for "Operational Cinema"** is an Italian aesthetics journal β potentially worth a look given the PEA project's case studies include film/digital technologies. Is operational cinema a concept that maps onto experiential artifacts at all, or is it orthogonal to what you're doing?

*La mattina porta un compito chiaro: rileggere ciΓ² che il pensiero notturno ha scritto, con occhi riposati.*
### User
tell me more about:
CFP: Philosophy in Technology Conference β AI, Human Uniqueness, and Emerging Forms of Agency (10β11 April 2026) β strong overlap with generating philosophy paper
"CERNAI postdoc β University of Pavia, Italy (2β3 years, phil of AI/cog sci) β Italy-based, directly relevant field"
also, whatever in the morning review that is telling you to check philos-l, should be updated to ensure you always tell me WHERE the conferences, cfps, jobs etc. etc, are the institution and the place.
### Assistant
Let me get fuller details on both items, then update the command:
### Assistant
Good β the conference is based at **WrocΕaw University of Science and Technology, Poland** (hybrid event, organizers are WrocΕaw UT + Pontifical University of JPII + Polish Academy of Sciences). Now let me update the command:
### Assistant
Now update the output format template:
### Assistant
Done β command updated. Here's what I found on both items:
---
### Philosophy in Technology Conference β 5th Edition
**"AI, Human Uniqueness, and Emerging Forms of Agency"**
π **WrocΕaw University of Science and Technology, WrocΕaw, Poland** (hybrid)
π
**April 10β11, 2026**
Organizers: WrocΕaw University of Science and Technology + Pontifical University of John Paul II + Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (Commission on Philosophy of Science). The 4th edition (2025) was also WrocΕaw, hybrid format. The listserv posting came from someone called "R k" on Feb 16 β the full submission details are behind the archive iframe (the listserv doesn't expose full message bodies via direct URL). To get the CFP details and submission deadline, you'd need to click through: [philos-L posting](https://listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A2=2602&L=PHILOS-L&P=114375731) β or check [PhilEvents](https://philevents.org/search/topic/635) where it may be listed.
**Fit with your work:** Directly on point β "AI, Human Uniqueness, and Emerging Forms of Agency" maps very naturally onto the generating philosophy paper's claim that LLMs produce genuine philosophical contributions. The "uniqueness" framing is one you explicitly engage with (is analytic philosophy distinctive because its contributions *consist in* argumentative text?). Worth finding the full CFP.

### CERNAI Postdoc β University of Pavia
**Postdoctoral Researcher, Philosophy of Science/Epistemology/Philosophy of Cognitive Science**
π **CERNAI (Center for Research in Epistemology and Natural and Artificial Intelligence), University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy**
β± **2β3 years**
π§ Contact: Federico L.G. Faroldi (posted to philos-L Feb 18)
This is an **informal expression of interest** call, not a formal application β the PI is gauging interest before opening a proper position. That means: no hard deadline, no formal requirements stated yet, and reaching out directly is the right move if interested.
**Fit:** Philosophy of cognitive science + AI epistemology + Italy-based. CERNAI at Pavia is explicitly an AI/epistemology centre. Given your current contract ends Feb 2027, the timeline could align well if they open something formal later in 2026. Worth at least keeping an eye on. The "informal" framing means a short exploratory email to Faroldi carries very low cost.

### Command Updated
The morning-review format now requires institution and location for every philos-L item. It won't change the raw script output β but it instructs me to always extract and include them when presenting. From tomorrow: format will be:
> **CERNAI Postdoc (2β3 yr, phil of AI/cog sci)** β University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy β informal EOI
> **CFP: Philosophy in Technology Conf.** β WrocΕaw UT, WrocΕaw, Poland β deadline: TBC
*L'agenzia, a quanto pare, non Γ¨ piΓΉ solo umana β e nemmeno la domanda su cosa significhi esserlo.*
