Description
The Boston Computation Club is a small seminar group focused on mathematical computer science, and computational mathematics. Its name is plagiarized from the London Computation Club. Boston Computation Club meetings occur roughly every other week, on weekends, around 5pm EDT (modulo speaker availability). The usual format is a 20m presentation followed by 40m of discussion. Some, but not all, meetings are posted on YouTube and in podcast form.

Olle Häggström is a pure mathematician. Today, he joined us to tell the story of how his entire field of mathematics was essentially conquered by large language models in a short period of time, and to discuss the lessons about AI safety that he drew from this experience. This was a challenging and interesting conversation and, I think, a really compelling listen if you are not yet convinced of the imminency of AGI (or ASI).
Alex is a friend of mine and a mathematician. He did his PhD in mathematics with other Alex (Martsinkovsky), who has presented at the seminar group previously. We're huge fans of both Alexes at the Boston Computation Club and we hope you enjoy this talk as much as we did!
Today Daniel Yu gave a pure math talk on an extension he performed independently of work he had conducted during his math semester abroad in Budapest.
Today Woohyeuk (Kevin) Lee joined us to discuss local AI (and the question of just how local it really is). This is exciting work at the intersection of computer science and social science! Enjoy.
Casey Martin is a dirtbag intellectual, local savant, and recent PhD in the Boulder metro area. He's a party favorite and today he joined us to discuss cellular automata and their generalizations. Enjoy!
