Hey everyone,
The next social meetup for the Bangalore LW/ACX Group is scheduled for 27th October. It’s happening at the usual venue - Matteo Coffea on Church Street. (Get inside Matteo Coffea and walk all the way to the back, into the backside seating area. You can find us seated to the right side with a sign).
This meetup will be announced as a part of the the Fall/Winter run of ACX Meetups everywhere that runs twice a year, so expect a higher-than-average attendance. For the same reason, this event will not have any of our usual moderated group discussions. Feel free to socialize, meet new and interesting people, discuss your interests, and do generic-new-people things.
Please RSVP here at the Lesswrong event page to let the host know that you are going to make it to the meetup.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Yes. The actual turnout was 21.

Hi
Please walk to the back section of Matteo, and you'll find a sign pointing to our meet-up. I'll try to edit the description in future meetups to include this

Yeah, this post is for the one on May.
There will be another meetup on Apirl(date TBD), for which ther will be a separate post.
I've considered giving Sequence Spotlights a "Create Discussion Meetup" button, such that Sequence Spotlights more easily serve as default reading material for local communities. Would anyone be interested in that?
This sounds like something I'd be interested in running with my group.
Thanks for doing this. I enjoy listening to audio form of content, and this makes reading my backlog of lesswrong and EA content very accessible.
Minor suggestion. - The podcast is hosted on multiple platforms, but is missing YouTube. There are several podcasts that are audio only on Youtube( Naval Ravikant's podcast, Cortex by CGP Gray, etc.). Adding it to you tube can increase reach to potential new listeners.
The EA group is active in bangalore as well AFAIK, one of the organizers attends the SSC meetup semi-regularly. The SSC group has been meeting regularly since 2018 when we discovered each other through the 2018 meetups everywhere post.
You can DM me with your email address, and I'll add you to the mailing list and also share a signal invite link for chat.
Safety is a slippery slope.
Misplaced excess concern over safety hinders technological progress, and is a slippery slope.
Experts and regulators who are held accountable when things go wrong with new technology, and are thus incentivized to raise the bar or standards in an effort to make systems "more safe".
This has detrimental effects in two ways -
- The slippery slope of adding more complex regulations or roadblocks in the name of safety.
- Disincentivizing technology adoption and slowing progress.
