The workshop talks from the previous year’s ALIFE conference (2022) seem to be published on YouTube, so I’m following up with whether John’s talk from this year’s conference can be released as well.
I mean, I could always re-present it and record if there’s demand for that.
… or we could do this the fun way: powerpoint karaoke. I.e. you make up the talk and record it, using those slides. I bet Alexander could give a really great one.
Title: AI would be a lot less alarming if we understood agents
Description: In this talk, John will discuss why and how fundamental questions about agency—as they are asked, among others, by scholars in biology, artificial life, systems theory, etc. - are important to making progress in AI alignment. John gave a similar talk at the annual ALIFE conference in 2023, as an attempt to nerd-snipe researchers studying agency in a biological context.

How confident are you about it not having been recorded? If not very, seems props worth checking again

I have no doubt Alexander would shine!
Happy to run a PIBBSS speaker event for this, record it and make it publicly available. Let me know if you’re keen and we’ll reach out to find a time.
To follow up on this, we’ll be hosting John’s talk on Dec 12th, 9:30AM Pacific / 6:30PM CET.
