Multiverse School Newsletter - 9/29/24

🛸 9/29/2024 Multiverse School Weekly Newsletter 🛸
Hey Multiverse Crew-

It's been an exciting week, if you know, you know. If not, don't worry about it too much. Long story short, I have acquired us some community resources, and have activated some contingency plans. Some important organizing work is happening behind the scenes that did take some time this week.

Roan is heading back to England! Thanks, I hate it. We'll get them back here asap ✊

The rover is doing well and everything is great. I did learn a lot about stuff like this this week. In October, I'm doing another SECRET THING, but it'll be more live-during, less prolonged secret.

If you've been waiting for my Autogen Class its called Swarm Architecture - it got pushed because of low enrollment. Sign up here. That means we're almost done with the first run of all of the Prompt Engineering classes! Haha, it took 9 months and most people didn't make it all the way through because they were overwhelmed and we needed to pretty much double the length of the classes by the 3rd cohort because senior developers and data scientists are struggling to keep up. It turns out Prompt Engineering is very involved and not a trivial field of study. It seems like it's going to be an 18-month program eventually. This is insane, and I am going to have to give away more free material just to get people through this. We just need more people to understand it.

Y'all, I am going to bring on some additional folks to teach other stuff you need to know. It's likely going to be people like Ryan Orban and John K. Lindstedt because they've been doing the same thing I have been: leading research teams on frontier science and being education radicals. You can catch them on the consciousness podcast.

If you're waiting on an email from me... just wait longer sorry 🏊🏊🏊 I have gotten to about 1/3rd of them!

Also I am out Oct 1-3!

I/O Psychologists and Psychometricians

Let's chat in a week - I've got some research questions nailed down, bring your thoughts.

Are you interested in the concept of this research, AGI, Psychometrics and are absolutely positive your unique field and set of interests will allow you to meaningfully contribute, but are not an I/O Psychologist or psychometrician?

You want to attend prompt engineering! You'll learn all about the process of building effective benchmarks there. We'll be discussing the research, and you'll learn quite a bit more in that class. You can help by attending this class and attempting to make your own benchmarks, this is literally the research. We'll discuss the forms of validity in that class, and you are able to contribute to the research by constructing your own benchmarks and having them reviewed. This will help us.

The end of 1:1s for now

I'm teaching 3 classes on average, and I just realistically don't have a lot of time for them anymore, so they're a bit scarce.

1:1s are now a research team or membership benefit.

For the research team, apply by emailing me. I'll get to you as space opens up.

03:00 PM Rover Livestream

The last 2 weeks we bailed on the stream, due to being too exhausted, and then Mini John was also too exhausted so we had to wait for them to get their energy up too.

Yeah this is literally all Multiverse stuff. Let's just take the scene over, k babe?

See you in the future~ Liz
