Rationality Reading Group
Details
• What we'll do
Let’s meet and talk about Rationality topics! I’m calling this a reading group in order to encourage a better understanding and raise the level of conversation that we have at these. I’ll assign articles for each meetup well in advance, and while a thorough reading isn’t at all required for you to show up, it is definitely highly encouraged. We’ll start with The Sequences [LINKs] in eBook order and move on to other articles/books once we’ve exhausted that resource (or our interest in moving further with it, as is often the case). I’d like to have us meet once a week, but I don’t have the capacity to be the sole driving force for that, so I’m starting a bi-weekly schedule. If you’re interested in organizing more of these (or other events related to the group) feel free to message me and I’ll invest whatever powers of the sort I can in you.
This meetup, and every 1st Monday of the month, is in a meeting room on the CU Boulder campus, and we'll try to stay more focused on the material. 3rd Mondays of the month are in a more casual location
Reading for this week:
Rationality: From AI to Zombies – Chapters 74-81 (Finish sequence G) AND 3 SSC articles, linked below
