OpenTalks.AI

Это шедевр: известное австралийское медиа, которое снимает колкую политическую сатиру, опубликовало видео про ИИ

В ролике пародийный ИИ-ассистент GovGPT, "сделанный компанией ClosedAI", с сарказмом и пасхалками прожаривает тех-гигантов и отвечает на вопрос "Будет ли SkyNet?".

Ничего лучше вы сегодня не увидите

Друзья, как вы знаете, конференция в Тбилиси была отменена из-за большого давления на нас(( Но, так как большинство докладчиков все равно приехали в Тбилиси в эти даты, мы напряглись и смогли организовать несколько маленьких оффлайновых митапов.

В том числе была оганизована (практически подпольно) микро-конференция из всех ключевых спикеров, которая прошла в частном доме в горах над Тбилиси) Это было очень ламповое мероприятие с удивительной атмосферой! Нам удалось записать все доклады с этой конференции (ну почти все, в одном был битый звук(( и мы обещали эти записи участникам, которые оформили неполный возврат денег за конференцию.

Записи в течение апреля были смонтированы и выложены в закрытый раздел сайта конференции, который доступен через личный кабинет участников (если у вас страница не открывается, пишите в комментариях к этому посту, быстро разберемся).

Теперь наконец вы можете посмотреть всю эту микро-конференцию, включая интереснейшую заключительную сессию Эмерджентность, в которой, после выступлений Татьяна Шавриной и Константина Владимировича Анохина, было еще прекрасное 2-х часовое обсуждение!)

Большинство докладов было на русском, несколько было на английском, мы позднее добавим субтитры с переводом.

И, друзья, большая просьба - не расшаривайте пожалуйста эти ссылки по всем своим коллегам! Все желающие могут купить эти записи здесь.

Мы от всего сердца благодарим наших партнеров и участников, которые сделали частичный возврат денег и это позволило нам частично компенсировать убытки и сделать микро-конференцию, а теперь и записи с нее! Огромное спасибо!

Итак, видеозаписи микро-конференции 2024 в Тбилиси: https://opentalks.ai/micro-conf24

Dear friends,

Today we started process of refunding . Each participant today received an email with refund options. We proceed each answer on a FIFO basis. Sorry, but interface of our payment systems does not allow mass refunding, so we proceed each request manually 😏. Around 40 refunds have been executed already.

If you already answered about your refund option, please be patient, we will process your request till end of this week, do not email us again.

If you did not receive email from us today - please ask us at [email protected]

About OpenTalks.AI afterparty 👻

This year it will be very special 😜

First - it will be in a secret place 😎, unique and interesting venue with a fantastic view to night Tbiisi! 🌃

A transfer will be organized after conference to afterparty and also back to Tbilisi. This is a reason, we will ask all participants to confirm if you will go to afterparty, confirmation will be asked by email from orgcommittee.

Second - we had a lot of requests to arrange calm afterparty without loud music. So, we decided to shorten live music performance and give you more time to talk.

Afterparty will begin ~20:30, then at ~21:00 will be short concert 🎸~40 mins and the rest of time - calm quiet music to allow nice networking.

Live music agenda: Dire Straits, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Splin, Sting, ColdPlay, Metallica))

UPD - of course, there will be a lot of food & wine))
