What it is
A two-hour stage program asking how interactions with “non-human constituencies, from the biological to the synthetic” change what we mean by intelligence. The listing says the evening will move “from microscopic and ecosystemic to agentic and exoplanetary.”
Named participants are David Eagleman, Aishwarya Khanduja, Jaron Lanier, Michael Levin, Sara Imari Walker, and Claire Isabel Webb, with David Gruber, Sasha Stiles, and Keith Yamashita. The page does not publish a minute-by-minute agenda or say how speaking time is divided among that group.
Who it's for
A general San Francisco audience interested in long-term and cross-disciplinary ideas about intelligence (neuroscience, biology, art, and AI) rather than engineers looking for tool demos.
Worth it if / Skip it if
- Worth it if this speaker list and a Long Now-style conversation are what you want from a Tuesday night, and $45 is acceptable for two hours.
- Skip it if you want implementation detail, a workshop, or a clearly timed program for each speaker.
Verdict
Worth it if you want an ideas-stage evening, not a how-to. The names are the reason to go. The listing is thinner on format than on people.
