Hi from Michael Vassar, the president of SIAI. With my wife and Singularity Summit co-director Aruna, I’ll be traveling over the next few months to meet with rationality and singularity enthusiasts throughout the U.S. Specifically, I’ll be in Boston from November 14-18, Philadelphia from December 1st to 10th and December 15th through January 4th, New Orleans from December 11th to 14th, Orlando on January 5th and 6th, Sarasota on January 7th through 12th, and in Tampa on the 11th if there is substantial interest in a meet-up there.
Please comment if you are interested in attending a meet-up in any of the cities in question and we can start planning.
I hope to find that there are thriving communities of rationalists in each of those cities already, but I’m traveling there to try to seed their precipitation from the local populace. If things go really well the groups and their respective cities will be on SIAI radar and who knows, maybe eventually there will be a Singularity Summit near Tomorrow-Land, a global catastrophic risk conference by the New Orleans levies, or a FAI extrapolation dynamics exploratory workshop near Independence Hall.
