Robin Gane-McCalla has stepped up on short notice to give a talk Sunday. I will send out another email with the full abstract in a day or so but you can already RSVP on the meetup site at

http://www.ai-meetup.org/calendar/14462063/

The topic is "The Interaction of Utility and Intelligence".

I also received this email from Christine Peterson that includes a $100 discount for her upcoming Life Extension Conference:

As you know, I'm having a life extension conference here in the Bay Area on Oct 9-10, and I want to be sure that AI Meetup members hear about it and do NOT pay the full price listed on the website.

Foresight is not the main sponsor of this; they are just a partner. This is my own thing, though Foresight will benefit indirectly.

Here's the website:

http://lifeextensionconference.com

Here's a discount code for $100 off: AIMEETUP

That gets the current price down to $175.

People should feel free to distribute this code widely to our greater community.

Topics to be covered include:
• Supplements
• DNA Testing
• Telomere Protection
• Blood Testing
• Finding a Life Extension Doctor
• Gadgets
• Inflammation
• Calorie Restriction & Intermittent Fasting
• Sleep
• Stress reduction
• Self-experimentation
• Exercise
• Enhancement & Brain Function
• Eating
• Standards of Information Quality
• Mood
