Last Friday, we gathered in Berlin for Computational Consciousness. A huge thanks to all our speakers, volunteers, and participants for making the day so vibrant. The depth of discussions, the rich insights and the energy in the room were truly incredible. We are grateful for everyone who joined us, and we look forward to continuing these conversations! @Plinz @trentmc0 @louviq @toniiantonova @hikasor @chris_percy @franz_hiha @eva__ginger @XemanticAI @policecar @algroznykh @patriciacraja @memetic_mystic @protocolxworks @justinshenk @bradleyclarkr @AngieNormandale

I love @kotlin so much, because it allows me to express powerful concepts in the simplest possible syntax, so that I can focus on meanings, while teaching LLMs to be more fluent in these dialects than me. Thank you @jetbrains for engineering such a powerful tech for the AI era.

What happens when philosophy meets the engineering of self-improving AI agents? This Wednesday, Kazik Pogoda joins our Berlin AI Node for a session on Metacognitive AI: when philosophy meets harness engineering. Kazik will explore how philosophical commitments about cognition, language, and selfhood shape, and are shaped by, the engineering choices made at the harness layer. June 17 at CIC Berlin | Chatham House Rule applies. Request to join: luma.com/5zh49j9p
