There really needs to be a no-AI conference. Not an anti-AI one, just one where people turn up for a day or two somewhere and happen to not talk about it
@thattommyhall Maybe it's time to organise one.
@bodil @thattommyhall doooo iiiiit
@otfrom @thattommyhall We'll need someone experienced to take charge, are you in?
@otfrom @bodil The only problem is by the time I got around to organising it, everyone would be talking about "quantum"
@thattommyhall @bodil I've not seen anyone outside of gov't circles talking about quantum. Have you seen anyone?
@otfrom @thattommyhall @bodil as soon as you observe them they collapse
@thattommyhall So basically reset to what all conferences were just a few years ago. 👍👍
@cczona Yeah, like a conference could be about something. Like "local first software" or something. And then talks could be about that
@thattommyhall Then organize one or find other people to help. https://www.conferencechats.org is a great resource. While I'm pro-LLM, there are tons of people who would support a no-LLM conference, I suspect.
