I was thinking it'd be fun to do some lightning talks this time! By default let's keep these to like 5 minutes, maybe with a single slide if you like that I can bring up on a laptop. Let me know if you'd like to give a talk!
Normally we just chat about whatever comes up. Past topics of conversation have included AI alignment, collaborative disagreement, calibrating personal predictions (how to measure and improve your own predictions), decision theory (Newcomb's paradox, Parfit's hitchhiker, etc), miscellaneous tech stuff (web3, GPT3, etc), animal husbandry (how to flip a goat, and why), and much much more.
We'll be in the beer garden round the back, with a sign
