Agents built to stop the apocalypse

Agents Against the Apocalypse

The AI class started building individual task-prosecution agents, mentor pairings landed, and the website drew a flood of applicants.

This issue is dressed as Industrial

The AI class moved into agents and Autonomous Cognitive Entities (ACEs). Students began building their own task-prosecution agents, with the plan to register them in a directory of agents for the Multiverse. The Agents Assignment was the catch-up material. ACEs come with values, goals and limits, plus red teaming exercises.

Most students were paired with a mentor, and the school switched to interview-based admissions after the new website brought in a large number of applicants. A student website directory was started to showcase people's work, and new classes were teased for 3D modeling, visual effects, image generation, text to video and cloud deployment.

The cybersecurity class covered the legal landscape of data privacy and audits, with Shodan on the red team side.

Hey Multiverse Crew,

Here’s what’s happening:

AI Class Update

Last week was an exciting jump into the ACE framework! We tackled the task prosecution layer by kicking off work on our individual agents. If you missed the details, don't worry—here's the Agents Assignment to catch you up. Here’s the deal—our AI class is stepping up its game with a deep dive into Agents and ACEs (Autonomous Cognitive Entities). What does that mean for you? Two words: Real. Impact.

Agents: Think of them as your personal digital chefs. Picture this—you dump info about what’s in your fridge, and boom! Out comes a meal plan. Agents are all about taking specific inputs and generating equally specific outputs.

ACEs: These are where we take agency to the next level. Each of you will be creating your own Autonomous Cognitive Entities, instilling them with values, goals, and limits. No Skynet on our watch—we’ll also be doing red teaming exercises to bulletproof our creations against potentially apocalyptic scenarios.

This isn’t just another class; it’s a mission. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves doing your part to literally stop the AI apocalypse. We’ll build agents over the next week and register them in a directory of agents for the Multiverse.

Student Recruitment

Our website is live and we've been flooded with applicants! Yay~ 

Interviews will be happening this week, so be ready to welcome new faces into our community. Yes, we’ve switched to an interview-based admissions model- you got in before the interview process! Early Adopter Perks. 

If you want to recommend someone, let us know and we’ll take your recommendations really seriously (and it would save us a lot of time and skepticism, so please do this!)

Student Website Directory

We're building a directory of your personal websites to showcase your work. Even if your site isn't complete, go ahead and fill out this form. This will not only help you in job hunting but also serve as an example for other students!

Learn to Code Class

We're resetting our Learn to Code classes to accommodate our new students. The AI classes will now happen on Tuesdays and Learn to Code classes on Thursdays. Check out the Multiverse.School Calendar for details. 

Cybersecurity Class

This week, we delve into the legal landscape of data privacy and audits. On the red team side, we’ll discuss Shodan. Make sure not to miss it!

New Classes

Keep your eyes peeled; new classes will be announced next week! Our mentors are hard at work finalizing class abstracts. There's something on the horizon for 3D Modeling, Visual Effects, Image Generation, Text to Video, and Cloud Deployment. 

Feel free to decline any class invites if you can't attend, but make sure to let us know if you haven't received invites to all classes.

See you in the future~
