They run interesting seeming workshops on a variety of subjects, most salient to me are using decision theory practically via cost-benefit analyses, teaching people how to develop their own clothing style, team community projects like making a street cleaning robot (likely misremembering specifics here, this may have been an aspirational goal of theirs) for participants’ local community, and using LLMs to automate tasks. Much of my knowledge comes from this podcast episode.
Edit: Re-listening to some parts of the podcast episode, it seems like they start talking about the guild at about 00:26:47.
To my knowledge there’s no such transcript. The podcast is small and this one was made before Whisper so at the time a transcript would be super expensive (even if you did use whisper, you’d need to pay someone to label who’s talking, which likely isn’t cheap). You can find info about their workshops on their workshops page. Probably more informative than hearing me describe a podcast I last heard over a year ago.
What good things have you heard, could you be more specific?

Could you say more about this? (Or, link to some written commentary on the matter?)
Ditto?

Here’s are a couple of examples of our decision theory workshops:

There are about 10 of them so far covering a variety of topics related to decision theory and probability theory.
