We aim to connect Rationalists from Karlsruhe (Germany) and surrounding areas. We are always happy to get to know new people and new perspectives(!). Please feel free to drop by even if you are unsure, feel awkward about it, or are not 'the typical LessWrong / SSC reader'.

I (Felix) attended the Lurkshop in Berkeley from January 6-8, where I talked with a number of Engineers from OpenAI and DeepMind. These discussions changed my perspective on currently existing (but un-published) AI progress a lot.

The schedule will roughly be:

• 18:50 – 19:10: soft beginning, socializing
• introductions (in case of new attendees), updates (what surprises did you encounter recently / what are your biggest updates? / what did you personally learn?)
• 19:20: Discussion on AI progress
• 20:30: open end

We will meet on Big Blue Button on Tuesday at 19:00 o'clock. Link: here. (Room will be open before 18:50)
