[Event] Weekly Alignment Research Coffee Time

[adamShimi]

Just like every Monday now, researchers in AI Alignment are invited for a coffee time, to talk about their research and what they’re into.

Here is the link.

And here is the everytimezone time (what matters is the hour, I don’t change the day anymore).

Note that the link to the walled garden now only works for AF members. Anyone who wants to come but isn’t an AF member needs to go by me. I’ll broadly apply the following criteria for admission:

• If working in a AI Alignment lab or funded for independent research, automatic admission

• If recommended by AF member, automatic admission

• Otherwise, to my discretion

I prefer to not allow people who might have been interesting but who I’m not sure will not derail the conversation, because this is supposed to be the place where AI Alignment researchers can talk about their current research without having to explain everything.

See you then!

Today this link does not seem to be working for me, I see:

Our apologies, your invite link has now expired (actually several hours ago, but we hate to rush people).

I also notice that the date is still ¹⁰⁄₂₅ so perhaps the event is not happening today?

Really sorry, I have to recreate a link every week, and I was at EAG this week end so I completely forgot. It should work now.

I’ll see you soon!

There seems to be some technical problem with the link. It gives me a “Our apologies, your invite link has now expired (actually several hours ago, but we hate to rush people).

We hope you had a really great time! :)” message. Edit: As of a few minutes after stated start time. It worked last week.

Hey, it seems like other could use the link, so I’m not sure what went wrong. If you have the same problem tomorrow, just send me a PM.
