From the classics to the cutting-edge, we are here for you:
Are you curious (or worried) about all the news concerning recent AI developments? Come to the crash course happening at Savage Branch on Thursday. Every once in a while, it’s good to read (or re-read) a classic. Eric recently picked up The Grapes of Wrath and thinks you should, too. Do you believe in second chances? Re-entry into society can be difficult, this workshop can provide some tools to smooth the process. |
