I was recently involved in moderating a chat with Kanjun Qiu of Imbue at the MIT AI conf: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNJ9i78ICeg2YuemyAXmtStKvqr9l0Tao3xQWxmeAVjBALHn_NnFvPXFlNSkdMfqA?pli=1&key=dTFRRHBTLVRZTEVCem0zal8tNVkxblh0V3k4VXhR

this is a new phase of life for me as a "known" AI person. i guess my next step in life is to be a panelist instead of moderator.


edit: i still also organize [my own meetups](https://twitter.com/atalovesyou/status/1721389762735636511/photo/1) regularly now
