Sadly, Tomer had to move his flight to an earlier date, and so he will not be able to attend.
Instead, our main talk will be Solving real problems with economics by Aur Saraf .
Furthermore, we will be hosting another special guest, Joshua Fox, a MIRI Research Associate and representative in Israel who will tell us a little about his job at MIRI and AI research.

Backup Talk: Aur Saraf—Solving real problems with economics
Rump Session: Each participant will give a 4-minute talk (+3 minute encore if we applaud hard enough). Giving a talk isn’t mandatory, but it’s highly recommended. Not confident that what you have to say is relevant to our interests? Unsure about your public speaking skills? Doesn’t matter—in the rump session, anything goes. - Note, you don’t have to prepare a talk to come! Speaking at the rump session is completely only if you want to.
