#socratesch — Public Fediverse posts

Spent Friday at SoCraTes Day Switzerland in Technopark Zürich. It is an unconference, so the agenda is whatever people stick on the board in the morning.

Almost every note on that board had AI in the title. The first session of the day was "We'll all be stupid. The dark side of AI".

Bottom right, last slot, one note with one word on it. Nostalgia.

So a group of us talked about DC++, ICQ and the old Skype. I told them that building an HTML table by hand used to be an achievement for me.
No idea if that session produced anything, it was the warmest one of the day.

Side quest, I wore an easylearn t-shirt and planted a small paper easylearn flag around the building. Somebody asked what easylearn does before I had even introduced myself.

Thanks to Coders Only for organising it.
