The textbook reading group on "An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence," which introduces the necessary background for AIXI research, has started, and really gets underway this Monday (Sept. 8th) with sections 2.1 - 2.6.2. Now is about the last chance to easily jump in (since we have only read the intro chapter 1 so far). Please read in advance and be prepared to ask questions and/or solve some exercises. First session had around 20-25 attendees, will probably break up into groups of 5.

Meeting calendar is on the website: https://uaiasi.com/

Reach out to me in advance for a meeting link, DM or preferably colewyeth@gmail.com. Include your phone number if you want to be added to the WhatsApp group (optional).
