I gave a talk on Saturday at a conference -- The Future of the Humanities: Reflective Practices in the Age of AI. Rather ironic to have been asked to speak at the event when my Philosophy department at Kent is to close this summer.

My slides are here. I was speaking about ACT and AI/computer science, and raising questions about philosophical precursors. Take for instance the recent Bonchi et al. article Diagrammatic Algebra of First Order Logic, further uptake of Charles Peirce's existential graphs. Seeing that the original philosophical ideas generally come embedded within a whole system, I was wondering about the profit for the current user of such ideas in delving into their larger context.
