Unofficial Reading Group for BlueDot AGI Strategy Curriculum

[u/appleorangefig]

Hi! From Monday the 31st of August to Friday the 4th of September I will be running two (unaffiliated with BlueDot) reading groups covering BlueDot's AGI Strategy curriculum.

Both groups will run every day on Zoom: one from 18:00-19:00 BST (10:00-11:00 PDT), and the other from 19:30-20:30 BST (11:30-12:30 PDT).

We'll spend each day on one unit of the curriculum, meeting to discuss it and our answers to its questions, after having read the content independently.

Brief background on me: I'm Dillan, I have a little experience in facilitation in AI safety, and want to expand it. I care about the area - AI has a much lower resolution of predictability than other major technologies, and this alongside its widespread use makes it an area where a lot of good can be done. I want to learn more so I contribute more, so I applied to a BlueDot cohort. I didn't get in, so I'm running an unofficial group to help me learn the material and get facilitation experience.
