Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

The New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Defended

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Joe Schmid and Troy Dana have recently advanced several criticisms of the New Hilbert's Hotel Argument formulated by us. In this paper, we respond by undercutting their proposed defeaters.

The Relational Risks of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasingly widespread use of generative artificial intelligence has begun to reshape the landscape of interpersonal communication.

Algorithmic Monoculture and Its Critics

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Algorithmic decision‐making is replacing idiosyncratic human judgment in domains such as hiring, lending, and criminal justice. This shift promises increased consistency, but many scholars worry that it can go too far. They warn of the dangers of algorithmic monoculture, in which all decisions across a domain are made using a single algorithm.
