Moving west, down the street from OpenAI

Down The Street From OpenAI

This issue is dressed as International Typographic Style

Liz announced she was moving to San Francisco after a breakup, and took two weeks off from Job Search Standup, with community body-doubling in its place.

Project Standup kept running mid-sprint. Senior Devs continued the Agent-Writing-Agent work on NATS. Prompt Engineering covered the Society of Mind, splitting agents into an actor-critic model, then used Autogen to build an agent hierarchy that produces a multi-part artifact. CyberSecurity spent Wednesday writing tools together.

The free CTF was still open until May 30, and the Learn to Code classes were available individually.

Now I won't miss the Singularity when it happens because I'll be down the street from OpenAI

Hey Multiverse Crew,

Happy Cinco De Mayo, to people in the United States because that is the only place it is really celebrated. I mean I am glad Mexico is independent, but I think it has more of a holiday vibe for me than any of the people it affects. In other news I am moving to San Francisco because I am single again and I need to get the f- out of Portland and be with the main body of my friend group so bad oh my god and my friend offered me a place, so I'll be there! Now I won't miss the Singularity when it happens because I'll be down the street from OpenAI (so the nanobot wave will overtake me first).
