Boundaries agenda updates in the last few months.

“What does davidad want from «boundaries»?”

davidad and I had a lesswrong dialogue [LW · GW] I recommend reading.

If you need a refresher on boundaries, read both the above dialogue and the formalizingboundaries.ai website.

Conceptual Boundaries Workshop

We ran Conceptual Boundaries Workshop [LW · GW] on Feb 10–12.

In attendance: David ‘davidad’ Dalrymple, Scott Garrabrant, TJ (Tushant Jha), Andrew Critch, Allison Duettmann, Alex Zhu [LW · GW], Jeff Beck, Adam Goldstein, Manuel Baltieri, Lisa Thiergart, Abram Demski [LW · GW], Evan Miyazono, and me [LW · GW].

For more about what we discussed, see Evan’s personal retrospective.

Supported by The Foresight Institute, Blake Borgeson, and the Long Term Future Fund.

ACX Grant

Scott Alexander granted us $40,000 for boundaries projects and workshops.

Mathematical Boundaries Workshop

Mathematical Boundaries Workshop is running this week for 5 days. Goal: develop boundaries math further, ultimately for application in real-world scenarios. Many category theorists are in attendance.

We are inviting a few guests to hang out at the end of the workshop — this Sunday morning, Berkeley CA. Email me chris@chrislakin.com if you’d like to come.
