The Third Annual Young Cryonicists Gathering (2012)
I received notification of this today from Alcor, my cryonics provider. I also received notification of this event last year but was unable to attend at that time. Does anyone plan on attending this year? Has anyone attended this type of event in the past, and if so was it worth going / what was your experience?
The Third Annual Young Cryonicists Gathering
Teens & Twenties 2012: Getting to Know You - You Getting to Know Each Other
Friday-Sunday; April 27-29, 2012 Deerfield Beach FL Host: Bill Faloo
I'm sorry I don't have more information at this time. Here is a link to a discussion post regarding the one last year: http://lesswrong.com/lw/5ob/young_cryonicists_conference_2011/
Active AGI and/or FAI researchers
I am curious in general about who here, if anyone, is actively researching the AGI and/or FAI problems directly in a full-time capacity (or soon will be). So if that's you, please say hello! Or if you know another website/mailing-list/etc this question would be more appropriate to ask, please let me know.
If you are interested in saying more about who you are and what you're doing, I've included some additional questions below. Feel free to provide as much or as little information as you'd like - but the more the better!
- Are you working for a particular organization or a known AGI project? If so, which? Link? If not, are you working on these issues independently, or can you otherwise explain your situation?
- What is your overall theory/philosophy on FAI/AGI? How are you similar to and how are you different from Eliezer Yudkowsky in this respect?
- What has been your overall approach to study for this line of research / what specific curriculum and what specific books/papers/etc would you recommend? I would be interested in as much detail as you can provide here.
- Do you have any published material (even informal/in-progress information, documentation, discussion, blogs, etc)? Links?
- What are you working on now and what's coming next in your work? Are you solving some interesting problem, creating some interesting new idea, bringing together a grand theory, actually building a working FAI/AGI or similar, or approaching some big milestone along any of these paths or others? What do your plans and timeline for the future look like?
