This is a very cool idea. I walk dogs for a living so I don't think I would qualify unless it's a roundtable on pets 😂. I look forward to hearing from different perspectives though. That's what I'm here for and why I am happy to be a paid subscriber even though I only agree with you about 60-70% of the time. 😅

I'm personally having this weird transition on how we treat AI. I used to curse at Claude all the time when it was not understanding. It was fun to vent in a safe way to a machine. Now I use please and thank you, not to necessarily get better results but because it's a decent thing to do. I'm not bought into AI consciousness but I'm not as certain it is not anymore. Anyway, a discussion about how we treat AI from an ethical perspective would be my preference (I'm not interested in the AI sentience/consciousness debate though).

Again, this is a cool thing you are trying out and I hope you are wildly successful with it. (PS. I would call it a salon just to be snooty but that's just me 😆).

I have considered calling it a salon! Maybe I'll go back to that idea. Also like your topic suggestion. Please do sign up. Also...I love dogs, so... Did you see how almost everyone at the roundtable is a dog in the header image? That's not accident.

I appreciate your support, especially when disagreeing on some things!

Agreeing on everything is too boring. I enjoy being challenged more than I like validation, but I am a weird asshole 🤷

I'm interested but just not the first one. I don't mean this in a snobby way, but as you know all it takes is one person to ruin a group dynamic. Maybe there would be less of a chance of that occuring if it's a table of people with skin in the game. But it's the Internet, so who knows.
