Week 731 - Claude, Epic Quest, Workshop Questionnaire

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Less than 4 weeks to go until this year’s Liverpool Makefest! DoES Liverpool will be taking part as usual so please get in touch if you want to display your stuff on our stand or want to help out (Github issue here that you can add your details to).

Things of Note

• Alex:I'm coaxing a savant with dementia into telling me how to begin the next conversation so we can progress together before they forget #GenAI #weeknotes https://x.com/embedded_iot/status/1931478587548307733
• Alex:I am well and truly going down the self-referential GenAI rabbit hole now. I asked Claude to tell me when we were nearing the end of the conversation and they've told me what I need to tell them next time around. #weeknotes https://x.com/embedded_iot/status/1931460406863614327
• Alex:How cool is this. I vibed it up with @AnthropicAI's http://Claude.ai #ThreeBodyProblem  #weeknoteshttps://x.com/embedded_iot/status/1931110162397553015
• Alex:I have been vibing with Claude and we got onto the security dilemma. I asked them to think about what the likely outcome between AGI and the human species would be if we assume the security dilemma to be relvant. I think we agree...
