Introduction
As an evolution theorist, I am interested in the why of intelligence. I find the "artificial" modifier arrogant. If something is intelligent, it is intelligent… period. When we say "yes but humans had to create it", we ignore our own construction.

What Randall Reetz is saying about this Meetup Group
Leave your Adderall at the door. This group is a no holds bared pit of chaos. Just what the AI doctor ordered. Come help us dig around in this dark and confounding landscape that is intelligence. What is it? What is its range? How can we work towards an abstraction that is both sharable and useful for the exploration and construction of experimentation environments? This isn't your grand daddy's meetup. Come get muddy and scuffed, it is always an adventure. Randall

Willow Garage Machine Vision Project"From PhD students to hackers to corp engineers, there's no shared PC like platform for AI. Thus like a broken record, we keep starting over an over at the same place. Certainly PHD students spend 2-3 yrs building a robot to study AI...."11 members like this idea -

AI in harvesting knowledge from the web"Let me toss in the topic of "harvesting knowledge from web pages".

Demo Day"Let's have a demo day: Instead of giving someone the floor for an entire meetup; those who are working on AI projects could bring in a laptop and run a 15-20 minute demo. Nothing needs to be pretty or shiny."11 members like this idea -

Machine Learning Mathematics Study Group"Review algorithms, statistics, SVD, SVM, etc. Maybe Octave or SciPy. And PLEASE sometimes slightly further south in Santa Clara County for those of us using Outreach. They do go to Palo Alto."12 members like this idea -

Randall Reetz liked Monica's idea
Monica: Genetic Algorithms"Genetic Algorithms are a Model Free Method and therefore they are a candidate for use as (or as a component of) bottom-up (subsymbolic) approaches to AI. I'll give a 40 min to 1 hr presentation on the topic, with slides, followed by discussion...."18 members like this idea

Randall Reetz I thought I should counter the comment made by Robert Kirby who took my explanation of evolution to be "nihilistic"? Wow! if evolution is nihilistic I don't know how to feel about the wonder of this Universe and my own existence?...Jun 27This And That (UPDATED - now three speakers and a short video)Sunday 12:00 PM at TechShop25 attended ·
