AI Explorers Playground: Casual Meet and Greet

Join us at the Frontier Coworking Space at 5:00 PM for an engaging and informal Meet and Greet event hosted by AI Explorers Playground, amidst the lively "Out of Office (OOO)" series. While we delve into the world of artificial intelligence, enjoy the added perk of free craft beer from Fullsteam Brewery, selected wines by RTP Uncorked, or various non-alcoholic options available through the larger networking event happening around us.
What to Expect:
- A friendly, open atmosphere.
- Complimentary beverages courtesy of the OOO series to enhance our AI discussions and networking experience.
- A diverse group of attendees ranging from AI consumers to machine learning engineers.

As we gather in the vibrant setting of an OOO event, our 'AI Explorers Playground' group will be the perfect spot to explore the fascinating world of artificial intelligence. We'll discuss the latest AI advancements, share projects, and engage in meaningful discussions on a variety of AI-related topics.
The Frontier 800 Building is dog-friendly too, so feel free to bring along your canine companions!

To foster more meaningful connections and discussions, I encourage everyone to share any topics, questions, or projects you're curious about in the comments. This will help us identify shared interests and ensure lively and relevant conversations during our meet and greet.

My Current Curiosities

• What I am working on:

• I created a tool that automatically shows related documents when I am working on a project so that I can have access to the most relevant resources and prevent re-work. I am happy to discuss and show it to those curious. It is a work in progress, but currently functional for my needs.

papers I am interested in learning more about:
- [Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces (arXiv.org)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752)
- [Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces (Paper Explained) (YouTube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dSkvxS2EB0&t=723s)
- [[2310.01405] Representation Engineering: A Top-Down Approach to AI Transparency (arxiv.org)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.01405)
- [[2304.15004] Are Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models a Mirage? (arxiv.org)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.15004)
- [[2308.08708] Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousness (arxiv.org)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.08708)

So come and enjoy an enriching evening of AI exploration and casual networking, with the bonus of free beverages and a vibrant atmosphere provided by the Out of Office series. We look forward to seeing you there!
