Hi all,

Just a reminder that there is a Future Salon meeting scheduled for
next Wednesday at 7PM, in the Dupont Circle office suite where
Novamente LLC is located.

Topics of discussion will be drawn from:
-- how to re-energize/revive the DC Future Salon
-- AI in Virtual Worlds (I'll be giving a talk on this at the
Singularity Summit the following weekend, so it will be fun to
trot some of the ideas out for y'all)
-- Pluses and minuses of open-sourcing AGI software (e.g. AGI
safety issues as well as logistical development issues)

-- Ben Goertzel
