I and at least one other person can no longer make the original meeting time. I’m sending out this survey to decide on a new time: http://whenisgood.net/tbw5t8s. 

Thanks to Alex for suggesting our next discussion topic: https://www.gwern.net/Clippy

It might help to imagine a hard takeoff scenario using solely known sorts of NN & scaling effects… Below is a story which may help stretch your imagination and defamiliarize the 2022 state of machine learning.

It’s a fictional timeline of AI causing an existential catastrophe after escaping from an ML experiment. 

I look forward to meeting you all!

All the best,

Quintin
