3 panel sessions to vote for at SXSW Sydney

The misinformation on X about the Bondi Junction attack shows how far Twitter has fallen
Twitter was once the go-to platform for real-time, breaking news stories, often led by journalists boasting verified blue ticks. But following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform in late 2022 and a name change to X, a series of decisions including the slashing of moderation and safety staff and the opening up of verification to anyone in exchange for a payment, have led to misinformation running riot on the site, particularly in relation to major news stories.
Can AI read our minds? Probably not, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be worried
Earlier this year, Neuralink implanted a chip inside the brain of 29-year-old US man Noland Arbaugh, who is paralyzed from the shoulders down. The chip has enabled Arbaugh to move a mouse pointer on a screen just by imagining it moving. In May 2023, US researchers also announced a non-invasive way to "decode" the words someone is thinking from brain scans in combination with generative AI.

Earlier this year, Neuralink implanted a chip inside the brain of 29-year-old US man Noland Arbaugh, who is paralysed from the shoulders down. The chip has enabled Arbaugh to move a mouse pointer on a screen just by imagining it moving. In May 2023, US researchers also announced a non-invasive way to “decode” the words someone is thinking from brain scans in combination with generative AI. A similar project sparked headlines about a “mind-reading AI hat”.

Tech Has Drained the Reality Out of Our Real Lives
Old tech like disposable cameras inadvertently reinforced the vitality of real life, but modern cameras now create a superior virtual world we don’t feel good enough for John William Waterhouse, “Echo and Narcissus.” Public domain. They always seemed like enchanted objects to me. The disposable cameras we stuffed into our cheap handbags in the late 1990s and early 2000s were really just empty plastic containers with a lens on one side.
The way music moves us shows the mind is more than a machine
The 55 Bar in Greenwich Village, with its bulging ceiling tiles and strings of fairy lights taped haphazardly to the walls, looks more like the clubhouse of a rural Irish sports team than a New York City jazz venue. Yet some of the musical experiences I’ve had in that dingy basement have bordered on the otherworldly.
Why Do Philosophers Have No Rhythm?
Jenny Judge argues it's time music was rescued from the sidelines of philosophical inquiry. You might well think, upon becoming acquainted with the philosophy of music, that philosophers have no rhythm. Discussions of ontology, form and expression abound in the literature, but rhythm seldom receives attention. But rhythm is, if not uniquely, then at least paradigmatically musical – how could philosophers have ignored something so central? One reason is methodological.
