Looking forward to the Octavia Butler AI meetup tonight!

SudoRoom prefers face to face discussion, so we'll minimize going over videos and presentations while we're at the session. Looking forward to a fun in-person event.

Downloads

• We'll be using Ollama for the demo - Please download it on your laptop https://ollama.com/download

• Have your IDE ready - Favorites are Microsoft Visual Code

We'll be whiteboarding the rest along with the class.

Food for thought

We have posted some interesting videos to watch before or after the event. https://sudoroom.org/inspiration-from-goat-octavia-butler/

There are some nice clips of Ms. Butler herself speaking on Democracy Now in 2005!

Regarding Parking:

As you know, there's an epidemic of car vandalism. - Don't park on Telegraph around the Omni.

• Bay Wheels bike share is the best option, the residential streets to the east of Shattuck are quite wealthy and less vandalized for some reason parking and then biking is a great solution.

• Park a 5 minute walk on Dover street between 47th and 44th (the fancy residential across the street on Shattuck

• Also around the large Walgreens parking lot at 5055 Telegraph is much safer too.

• OmniCommons serve folks in need with food not bombs, etc. so be considerate of members and people hanging out in the front. They are not going to harm you or your car.
