From Science, Technology and the Future

4.6

Weather looks reasonable on Sunday. Participants are invited to join us for a walk and talk about science, philosophy, AI and emerging technology. One major topic will be discussed: Anthropics: [A global workspace in language models](https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace) (read this!) **Schedule** * **10.30** am – Meet outside the entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre (near the Observatory House, and a walk away from the Shrine of Remembrance) * **11.00** am – Venture into the gardens and walk the outer path anticlockwise, spiralling inwards towards the lake * \~1.00 pm – (optional) Lunch by the lake, (BYO or there are Terrace Café options) **Getting there:** If coming by **tram**, get off at Stop 19 - Shrine of Remembrance/St Kilda Rd **Parking** is free on Anderson St far side of the Botanic Gardens ([near eastern gate B and Tecoma gate C](https://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/melbourne-gardens/interactive-map/)) subject to time limits in some stretches (mostly 3 hrs) - which is the only free parking area near the gardens that I can find. Check signage on the day. See this [PDF for more detail](https://athsvic.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/The-Tan-Parking-Map.pdf). **Possible discussion topics** * Anthropics: [A global workspace in language models](https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace) (read this!) * Latest AI models - Anthropic's Fable unblocked * AI Pause / Stop - will it work? (Regulatory catch-up, xrisk, global-coordination & geopolitical arms races, enforcement & logistics, existing capability overhang) * Technical AI safety - Mechanistic interpretability, linear probes, RLHF, behavioural evals * General AI alignment approaches: control vs motivation: \- control $External Constraints$ focuses on building walls *around* the AI to restrict what it can do, trip wires etc. \- motivation $Internal Alignment$ focuses on changing the AI’s inner desires so it *wants* to be ethical/help humans/act in accordance with the well-being of all sentience * AI ethics: how is it related to AI safety? What should be the target for AI alignment? Should the target be aggregate human preferences, religious doctrine, moral naturalism or something else? * Metaethics and ethics * Moral realism: a stance-independent moral ontology, useful for capturing non-arbitrary moral choice * Moral anti-realism: error theory, non-cognitivism, moral relativism etc * Can AI be fault-tolerantly aligned to moral realism or anti-realism? * Is sentience required for moral reasoning or moral deliberation? Can it be a hindrance? * Moral progress and indirect normativity * AI safety, automated persuasion, the orthogonality thesis * How epistemics (including science) makes progress * Health, wellness, and how to live a good life * Latest trends in AI: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude * Economic impacts of AGI, automation, and unbounded inequality * UBI and universal wealth redistribution * The likelihood of future doom or utopia * Human augmentation and hacking human potential * Plato's cave * Fun theory and value theory "All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking." - Nietzsche, *Twilight of the Idols* Philosophy discussions can feel quite sedentary - hence our experiment in cross-pollinating exercise with engaging discussion. Exerting mind and body together may produce a fascinating dynamic. A sedentary lifestyle (and, by association, philosophy) has been linked to depression, anxiety and chronic stress. Ease the anxieties of the armchair philosopher engaging in mental gymnastics with minimal muscle movement - join our raggle-taggle crew of aspiring philosophers walking the talk. Healthy body, healthy mind. Bring elemental protection (umbrellas, sunscreen, etc).

Melbourne: Tech writing in 2026 and beyond

Wed, Jul 29, 7:00 AM

From Write the Docs Australia

4.7

Technical writing has changed a lot in the last couple of years. New tools, shifting job titles, restructured teams, and a whole lot of opinions about AI. So what does it actually look like to be a tech writer in 2026? This is the first in a series of relaxed evening meetups where we dig into that question. We've got speakers from inside and outside the tech writing world sharing short talks, followed by open conversation. **For this first session**, we're starting with a look back. What was technical writing 18 months ago, and what's different now? We'll use that as a jumping-off point for the room. **I've never met a technical writer before** ‘I have never met a technical writer before’, said most of the young engineers who worked in a team Yvonne joined about 18 months ago. They had not even heard of the profession. Drawing on the stories and interactions from the last Write the Docs conference and her personal work experiences, she presented her view of technical writing as a profession to this engineering team. Is this presentation now a time capsule of a past era? Yvonne will share some of it with you at this meetup and let you decide. **About Yvonne Perkins** Yvonne is a passionate technical communicator who has spent her career helping teams perfect their knowledge and communication strategies. She believes that documentation should serve the user first, and that teams should be empowered to understand their users better. In the past, she has worked with organisations including ANZ, NEC, and AEMO. Now she is embarking on a new chapter with her own business, Evandra, which enables her to bring her expertise to a broader audience. Evandra helps businesses improve the effectiveness of their documentation and skills of their staff through knowledge strategy consulting and enjoyable workshops such as BrickDocs.
