I don't usually do this, but since this meetup is a special occasion, I'm buying everyone dinner! (Up to 10 people, first come first served. Beyond that you're more than welcome to come, but no free grub). Please make sure to update your RSVP if you can't come.
The Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) is a nonprofit which researches the mathematics behind artificial intelligence, with a view to averting catastrophe when the machines become smarter than us. It's also the organization behind Less Wrong.
Malo Bourgon is a project manager and volunteer coordinator at MIRI. He will be visiting Toronto just for this meetup, so read up on AGI and prepare to give him a good grilling on what MIRI is up to.
If you're not familiar with the MIRI worldview, Facing The Intelligence Explosion is a good read.

Great discussion - Malo's really knowledgeable and a great advocate for MIRI. Thanks much to Giles for picking up the check!
