The first meetup in Slovakia had 4 participants: two organizers, one participant from Slovakia, and one from Austria. This exceeded our expectations (which were very pesimistic, but we felt it’s worth trying anyway). The discussion quickly turned to the imminence of danger of AI, and then it continued by what we do and why.
Next plans:
Try another meetup after the school year begins. Some students may return to Bratislava, and generally people will spend more time at internet, so their chance of finding our announcement will be higher. Also some recruitment in Slovakia, again, after the school year begins.
It’s nice to know there is at least one more LessWrongian in our town!
… And the day after the meetup I received an e-mail from yet another lesswrongian in Bratislava. So maybe we will collect a quite decent group little by little, till the next meetup in October. If anyone wants to contact me, write at barbarabrezna@gmail.com.
