My boyfriend Dilip and I were there. Everything I knew about the Singularity was written by Eliezer or Robin Hanson and everything Dilip knew about the Singularity was stuff I’d told him in the few days preceding the Summit. Dilip was really impressed by Kurzweil’s talk and went from being dismissive of the concept to wanting to learn more about it and considering it as a real possibility.
The Q&A after the talks were hit and miss- some of them were really interesting and others were the questioners monologuing.
We met a lot of cool people and skipped a bunch of talks due to conversations.
Dilip and I also got sold on doing a CFAR workshop.
After seeing Jaan’s presentation, I decided to use Prezi for all my future presentations because the software makes your talk like a cartoon or a movie instead of an outline of words.
Jimmy’s talk was by far the best of the Thiel 20 under 20 talks.
No topics were resolved. To the contrary, many topics were opened.
