Boston Computation Club

Lewis Coriolan is a hacker, inventor, and entrepreneur, with wide-ranging interests. Today he joined us to talk about his experimentation vibe-coding hardware. This was a really cool talk and a glimpse at what's possible now with frontier models in hard-tech. It was also an important geopolitical conversation, as these developments severely lower the technological advantage that developed nations have over smaller countries or less well organized adversaries.

Olle Häggström is a pure mathematician. Today, he joined us to tell the story of how his entire field of mathematics was essentially conquered by large language models in a short period of time, and to discuss the lessons about AI safety that he drew from this experience. This was a challenging and interesting conversation and, I think, a really compelling listen if you are not yet convinced of the imminency of AGI (or ASI).

Alex is a friend of mine and a mathematician.  He did his PhD in mathematics with other Alex (Martsinkovsky), who has presented at the seminar group previously.  We're huge fans of both Alexes at the Boston Computation Club and we hope you enjoy this talk as much as we did!

Today Daniel Yu gave a pure math talk on an extension he performed independently of work he had conducted during his math semester abroad in Budapest.

Today Woohyeuk (Kevin) Lee joined us to discuss local AI (and the question of just how local it really is). This is exciting work at the intersection of computer science and social science! Enjoy.
