Hello,
I'll be in San Diego, sad to say. Especially considering how mouth-watering the discussion looks to be! If you create any visual aids, please consider making them available to those of us who can't make the meeting. That is cool that you'll be presenting at the Singularity Summit!
I'd commit to finding one speaker every quarter...so, if two other people would do the same, we could cover a monthly schedule of events. I'd be assuming we could continue to meet at Novamente. I'd be hoping we could settle on something simple like always the 2nd Wednesday or the like.
Thanks!

Subject: [dcfuture] REMINDER: Next future salon meeting: Sept 5 !!
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/
-- 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
--- In dcfuture@yahoogroup
