Off script, cheaper sessions, sprint begins

A Week Off Script

A rough week cut classes short, Custom GPTs ran for $60, prices dropped to $20 a session, and the April Project Sprint began.

This issue is dressed as Nu-Punk

Liz was out Thursday and Friday for personal reasons, and she skipped the junior and senior dev sessions. The Job Search Standup had its worst week to date after a schedule change nobody heard about, so anyone who had ever paid could join free.

The school's Custom GPTs class covered building reusable GPT bots, multi-bot conversations and giving bots tools. Prices dropped to about $20 per session, or $13.33 for people under-represented in tech, and scholarship options opened for master's students, executives and under-represented groups.

The April Project Sprint started. Storytelling with Francina continued with a workshop on inspiration and mindset resilience.

Observe how I'm not being judged for asking for help / taking the time I need as a human

3/31/24 Multiverse School Weekly Newsletter

Hey Multiverse Crew,

This last week was a wreck, and didn't go according to plan due to some things outside of my control, so I was out on Thursday and Friday and am running a bit behind. I'll be back next week, but on a reduced schedule for the week.

This Week's Classes

Custom GPTs $60 / $40 - Build custom GPT bots that are reusable, create multi-bot conversations, and equip these bots with useful tools.

Job Search Standup - We're Back

Last week was the worst week in Job Search Standup history- I had corporate clients that altered the schedule and I don't think anyone got the memo, then the thing with my mom happened. As a result, you can join this week for free if you've ever paid once.

Program Updates

You can register and pay for for upcoming classes, and there's a dashboard where you can manage and see your registrations and what you've paid for.

We've dropped prices and opened up scholarship opportunities. Most classes are $20 per session, or $13.33 for under-represented people in tech. I'm working on re-pricing everything in the back-end, but next week's class is fixed.

Scholarship Opportunities

CS Master's Student Fellowship Program - For Master's Students, do a complex, non-trivial project involving cutting edge AI that you can bring some newbies along with to see a really cool thing get made, get a major break on tuition

Executives - Run a cutting edge project at the forefront of AGI and then publish it and help it get monetized. Goal is a financial return on the investment of your time as well as a transformative experience of your leadership practice and is often an emotional breakthrough experience. Ask anyone who has gone through it. Major price break on tuition for the contribution towards a project.

Underrepresented in Tech - There's a special price on every page, self-select into this group please, it's 30% off for you. Please discuss with me- I can only admit so many scholarship students and it will take me time to process your request. We can't do 100% scholarships but we can offer some substantial discounts given a description of your circumstances.

Learn to Code Bootcamp This Summer, Begins June 3rd

Here's the Learn to Code bootcamp. This will be a more structured, code-together program, so if you're looking for that, come hang out.

Artificial Intelligence and Agents Track Kicked Off, Hop In or wait for Mid-Summer

Here's the entire track. You will need to know how to code. If you want to know all of this and you don't know how to code, enroll in the Learn to Code Bootcamp as well. If you're going to take all of these classes you may as well sign up for the monthly membership.

This is the part of the track you don't need to learn to code for. We'll probably add more here soon about how to use low-code no-code things.

This is the part of the track you need if you understand how to use LLMs, and how to code, but not create autonomous agents.

Complex Adaptive Systems and Game Theory

The First Episode is Live The Second Episode is Live! It's a lot of me talking this time, it's sort of the pre-reading and introduction to the next set of readings.

I don't have the energy to record this week, so we'll pick back up next week.

Storytelling

People have been enthusiastic about the experience! Come rewrite your personal narrative with Francina! This class is included for Multiverse School Students.

**This Week: Cultivating Inspiration and Mindset Resilience

Next Weeks: - Navigating Uncertainty and Iterative Exploration - Collaborative Problem-Solving and Creative Expression

Junior & Senior Devs

This week we'll begin the April Project Sprint. I won't run Junior/Senior devs this week, because I am a little underwater with everything that's been happening.

This week's goals: - Complete assigned bots & work you pulled into your todos for the week - Observe how I'm not being judged for asking for help / taking the time I need as a human - Ask for the actual space and specific support you need next time it happens to you, & note the results
