Emotion AI is a Meetup series and community forum dedicated to the interdisciplinary exploration and intersection of artificial intelligence, emotion, feeling, neuroscience, art, creativity, technology, and more. We’ve held two events so far in the past few months, and for now are aiming to hold another every 2–3 months, alternating between SF and NYC. For the Meetup series, we’ll bring together technical and non-technical speakers and audiences at this intersection for talks, conversations, and interactive activities to approach emotion and feeling from the perspectives of deep learning, machine learning, software, neuroscience, psychology, the social sciences, design, art, film & theater, therapy, and other professional disciplines.

let’s get together and practice being 100% real or as close as possible as we can each muster as we feel able and willing to have the energy to burn the effigy to learn the entropy of bisection. of bisectionary recipes of functionary pedigrees memetic unxious memories expressing a vasectomy an alchemy of breast and bee a tincture made delectably a potion craft of energy expressed in love and especially real
