Any information on how much this overlaps with Yudkowsky's lecture at Yeshiva University or what each will cover? (A roundtrip to NYC is $20 on the LIRR for me, excluding any subway fare, so you'll understand why I wouldn't want to go in twice for the same stuff.)
If you only go to one, I'd guess you should go to the NYU one.
Eliezer Yudkowsky and Michael Vassar are going to be speaking at NYU this Thursday, March 3rd, on the subject of SIAI and rationality. Any readers in the NYC area are encouraged to attend.
Details:
6-8 PM
Vanderbilt Hall, Room 220
40 Washington Square South
Food and drink will be provided. There will be a small reception at a nearby bar at the conclusion of the talk as well.
Even if you don't live here yourself, you can still show support by inviting anyone you know in the NYC area via the Facebook event.
