You can see my response below. I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be able to accommodate this request. I also asked if they could check if Blake wanted to hang around and chat with members. If they decide to go forward I suggest that we request a voluntary donation in line with typical space rental fees. Is anyone else interested in possibly meeting with Blake?

Hi there,

we filmed at the counterculture lab a few years ago with Patrik and Josiah for German public broadcasting cultural TV 3sat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xflXGdd_n6) and I liked it a lot at the time.

Now we’re working on a documentary about the developments in AI. I’m trying to organize an interview with Google engineer Blake Lemoine. He’s the one who thinks Googles AI has become sentient. I’d like to do the interview via Skype while I am in Germany and he is in the US. Cameramen filming on both ends.

Is there a chance for this interview to happen in your sudo-house in Oakland? It would just be two people: Blake and the camera operator.

The date is set for next Tuesday morning, the 2nd of August at 10:30 am and won’t take longer than an hour.

Thank you for considering!

Best, Ingolf
