AI Tinkerers Seattle -May Meetup

We’re excited to announce our next meetup on Thursday, May 11th, from 4pm - 7pm at the AI2 rooftop, sponsored by Technical Director of the AI2 Incubator, Vu Ha. THEME: “On the Road to AGI with Agent Systems.” In the past few weeks, numerous experiments and proposals for autonomous agent systems that complete tasks for you without any intervention have been trending on Github, making headlines and taking over Twitter. John Carmack said, “it is likely that the code for AGI is going to be 10’s of thousands of lines of code, not millions of lines of code.” Could early experiments such as babyAGI and AutoGPT be the precursors to AGI, much like how early human attempts at flight, such as the Montgolfier brothers’ hot air balloon, and Sir George Cayley’s glider, paved the way for the Wright brothers’ first successful powered flight? FEATURED SPEAKER Yohei Nakajima (@yoheinakajima) - Creator of BabyAGI, a task-driven autonomous agent open-source project. Yohei will give an over of the project and the many forks and experiments that are being conducted with BabyAGI, as well as his thoughts on other related projects such as AutoGPT. BabyAGI has been at the top of Github trending over the past week, and we’re thrilled to have Yohei join us! LIGHTNING TALKS We invite anyone to give a lightning talk or demo of their own Autonomous Agent experiments! To participate, please email joe@blueprint.ai with a short description of your demo or talk. LIVESTREAM We will livestream the presentation portion of the event starting at around 5pm, with details shared before the event.
