Oh hey, wanted to mention that agi-conf.org is down. I was checking when it was, since I was mildly concerned about it's proximity to the 2012 summer olympic games, which has a lot of bomb threats and predictive programming, such as the sports stadium explosion in Caprica.
though considering it is in December and in Oxford, it should be fine. if there is any radioactive fallout, at least radioactive iodine would subside by then, and can always relocate if radioactivity is perceived to be an issue. Though the Rockefeller foundation has planned the 2010-2020 as the "doom decade". Hopefully the false-flag wont happen, and so Iran wont be blamed and ww3 wont brake out. Hugo de Garis says we aren't in for another world war till the rise of the artilects which is a long ways away. Though there were multiple world wars in the 20th century, so who knows. *shrugs*. And another thing in terms of the call for papers, if papers are accepted do people have to show up to present them? or can they get archived in some kind of AGI magazine?
