Hello Everyone,
This is an extra bonus ACX Meetup on Thursday June 8th at 6:30 PM.
Location: Ashford House Pub & Kitchen
A table has been reserved for 8-10 people so please RSVP if the people who have responded is close to that number. There is plenty of parking available in the re-development Manchester Square that our Pub is located in.
Discussion Topic: Mental Health
Scott Alexander writes a lot about AI, prediction markets, fiction, economics, politics, (and much much more), but before all that he was (and still is) a psychiatrist, and he still writes about mental health...occasionally.
We will be repeating the open-ended and self-directed format from May 26th:
