This Sunday at 12pm (PT), we're running another session of "lightning talks" by curated LessWrong authors (see here [? · GW] for previous weeks' transcripts).

• For the first hour, we will have a series of lightning talks each lasting about 5 minutes followed by discussion. The talks will be short and focus on presenting one core idea well, rather than rushing through a lot of content.
• From 1PM to 2PM, we will hangout in Gather.town. Link will be sent out closer to the event.
• We want to give top LessWrong writers an interesting space to discuss their ideas, and have more fruitful collaboration between users. Think of it like a cross between an academic colloquium and some friends chatting by a whiteboard.

If you're a curated author and interested in giving a 5-min talk at a future event, which will then be transcribed and edited, sign up here.

Speakers

• Alex Flint: "Why go on retreat?"
  • Curated posts: The Ground of Optimization [LW · GW], Reply to Paul Christiano on Inaccessible Information [LW · GW], Our take on CHAI's research agenda in under 1500 words [LW · GW]
• Other speakers: TBA
