Existential Tuesday: How would you trigger a global revolution?

Existential Tuesday: How would you trigger a global revolution? 08 oktober 2024 12:45 t/m 13:30 - Locatie: The Nook | Zet in mijn agenda History is full of tales of revolution. Most of them bloody, some of them less so (especially in recent times ). Nearly two centuries ago, Karl Marx had the idea of a world revolution: a class struggle all around the globe, of the proletariat (working class) overcoming the bourgeoisie (owner class). And sure enough, revolutions – whether Marxist or otherwise – in one country have often triggered revolutions in others. But will the world ever face a truly global revolution? If so, what could trigger it? Which revolution do you imagine happening in your lifetime? Why? How would it spread? What would you want to do, who would you do it with, and how would you go about it? Let’s come up with one together. (Wikihow, of all places, has a template for revolutions to give you some starting ideas) This is an intellectual exercise in disruptive behavior, technology, and organization. Be prepared to think creatively. Existential Tuesdays Existential Tuesdays are small weekly* lunch discussions in the Nook of the TUD Library. Practice your critical thinking skills, learn to see the world from different perspectives, and hang out with your fellow deep thinkers in Delft. Interested in other events in the Nook? Sign up for the newsletter to find out what else we’re planning. * no sessions during exam weeks or study weeks Organised by: Studium Generale You can reach the organizers with questions at SG@tudelft.nl .

Artificial Physical Intelligence

Artificial Physical Intelligence 11 december 2024 15:00 t/m 17:00 - Locatie: TU Delft Library, Blue Room | Zet in mijn agenda Register As presented at Ars Electronica 2024: Transforming LLMs into Physically Embodied Beings. *Limited space so please register and keep us informed if your plans change. In this workshop, we will explore the essentials of Large Language Models (LLMs), covering the basics of their inner workings, training objectives, and how these relate to effective prompting strategies. We will then dive into a live demonstration to show these models can be given a voice, ears, eyes or control over a physical body. You will learn how to integrate LLMs with hardware. Participation is limited. Note: While this session will be particularly interesting for those who have a basic understanding of LLMs, it is designed to be accessible, engaging and informative, regardless of your experience with AI. Participants can bring their laptops to evaluate their experience from the workshop. Credits: Presented in the context of the European Digital Deal project.
