🎃 10/27/2024 Multiverse School Weekly Newsletter 🎃

Hey Multiverse Crew-

We draw close to the time when the boundary between worlds is thin. Prepare yourselves for the long nights. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, then I hope you've been working on your beach bod cuz summer is right around the corner!

My kid is doing their wedding next week, so I'll be out. I think Chris might still be doing AI & Coffee.

We're talking about having an AI Research Standup since we have a significant number of participants now and it's hard to keep up with everyone's progress in a single meeting. Our researchers are working on a lot of cool stuff and I personally need the cue to update the status board on Taiga.

AI Alignment starts Monday, October 28 at 05:00 PM - it's our first comprehensive overview of AI alignment. Sign up there!

As you may recall, we're bringing Surviving The Singularity into The Multiverse! If you're not sure where to start on your Multiverse journey, look no further than right here. We'll literally have a new series every week, because that's how this stuff is moving.

The last week I hammered out a series of courses on Robotics with Andy Didorosi of Mutiny Professional Racing and the Detroit Bus Company, and Joquin Navarro - our Chief Roboticist / faculty of the new Mutiny-Multiverse Robotics Collaborative Research Program. We're going to try to get simple robots that are useful for normal people up and running, then teach people in Detroit how to make the robots. We also met up with one of Detroit's major indie fabricators, so it looks like the rest of the avengers have heard the call. Do you want to help us build robots and then teach everyone to build them? Let me know. Avengers, Assemble! Let's Help Revitalize Detroit While We're At It.
